"The Warrington people hadn't had success for a few years, but there's no speccy in the world as good. They are very knowledgeable and appreciative of hard work. What they like is honesty. They want the team to try; if they fail they fail, but they expect honesty. They know when players don't put it in." Mike Gregory in 'Biting Back':26672.jpg



As well as our 1st (of many!) play off semi final on Friday night, it's also the last chance to see these 3 guys in the P & B on home soil.

Let's make sure we give them a rousing send off - these are 3 players who have all made great contributions to the club and I reckon that we will definitely miss all of them.

I think we will have more flair without Kingy and Louis.

That's not disrespectful, those 2 blokes have been the corner stone for success, and as such, our style of play may change when they have departed.

I think Waterhouse will be more of an offloader instead of the direct running by Louis, I also don't think we'll have a centre with the same attributes as Kingy. His size/toughness in both defence and attack were a massive asset.

I think the next era of Warrington players, especially the backs, will be more about beating the man rather than going over him. Both styles are pleasing to watch so I am looking forward to some good rugby from the men in Primrose and Blue!

Wish Clarke, Kingy and Louis all the best, they will all get clapped if/when they return to the HJ!

All have done the club proud. Clarke has put in some great shifts for us, during some dark days as well. He has to be up there as one of the great servants of the club, always giving his best and really playing himself into the ground at times when other players weren't doing the same.

Kingy's been one of my favourite players I've seen at the club, I think he'll be genuinely sad to go, he seems to love the Wire faithful and the way he's treated (after a rocky start!).

If we lose I'll be skulking off for the 22.03 train train to Manchester in a huff. If we win I'll be celebrating and will naturally applaud all three while I wait for the 22.52 train.

All three deserve respect though. Clarke has had a lot of stick throughout his time it - some deserved but much of it undeserved in my opinion - but has given a decade of loyal service. All three have played their part in the most successful era for our club in many of our lifetimes, so good luck to them all.

King will definitely be the biggest loss on the pitch mind. I'm gutted he's going.

In terms of importance to our team Matt is up there with Monas M, Lee , Moz and Super Ben

Matt King is a big loss. Who have you got to replace him?

Matt's a top player, of that there is no doubt, but I don't believe he's as important as being made out. He's excellent in defence and he helps the forwards in terms of making the hard yards in our own half, but, IMO, those attributes can be replaced. If he was a game-breaking creative player, I'd be massively worried (i.e. if we lost Gleeson when he and Briers were basically our only option in attack), but I don't think we're that dependent on Matt. We have Atkins, Bridge, Monaghan, Blythe and Evans to play centre. Obviously King will be missed, but there isn't a huge drop between him and his replacements, whilst our other signings, IMO at least, make us stronger overall.

I sort of agree with you, but his defensive skills cannot be underestimated. His defence on the wing is unbelievably good. meaning that teams really struggle to score in that area. Regardless of who replaces him, they simply won't be as effective defensively. They may be quicker, make more breaks etc, but if I were the opposition I know who I'd rather play against.

For us Matt has been the player that Gleason could have been.

Hard to believe this could be their last game (hopefully not, obviously).

For me, Matt King will be the biggest big loss to us. He contributes so much in general play - some of which goes largely unnoticed. Plus he is such a threat outwide on the ground and in the air. He's scored bags of tries for us in his four year spell too. The consolation for us is that we have Bridge, Atkins, Joel, Evans and Blythe etc.

Louis has occasionally frustrated a few fans in his time for reason's I can understand but there is no denying that when this bloke is on form, it's infectious on the rest of the team. He puts in some big shots and has been a valuable player in his time here. However, an injury free Trent Waterhouse is something I am really looking forward to seeing play in the p&b next season.

And for Clarke, well, my views on him are no secret but he leaves with my best wishes.

Good luck to all three. Kingy will definitely be missed but Louis is my favourite player just for his raw aggression.And not to mention his great legs icon_hearteyes.gif
