Jon Wilkin is consistent
He remains the biggest whopper in RL

That’s certainly how I read it - a little surprised at the response tbh. Players pick up injuries, Burgess saying he’ll see what King says in the week is probably more a nod to Burgess trusting his senior players to let him know if they feel fit enough to play.

Not a chance. If King is that desperate to go, then HE and he alone should fork out the money to cover the rest of his contract. Then we can get rid of him, he can go to wherever the **** he is desperate to go, and we can get someone who actually wants to play for the club.

I reckon Sam Burgess will smile & reflect on how easy it is to be misunderstood.

Could be right, it was just Burgess's cryptic comment about King being like ( I'm paraphrasing here ) one of the old-school, strange type of personalities that you used to get back in the 80s and earlier. That doesn't sound like a Burgess type 'next man up' kind of guy. I've not nothing against King personally, and hopefully it's all taken out of context, but I want a 'Hayes' type personality in that back line.

It was "he should have been a player in the 80s". I bet he didnt Wigan or Peet around.
