Wolves centre Matt King has asked for the following statement, written by him, to be released through Warringtonwolves.com, the official website of Warrington Wolves, it reads:
"I've decided to write the following statement as an apology to the club and particularly the fans of Warrington Wolves. The decision to make this statement was made by me alone and I have not been asked by anyone connected with the club to come forward and make a statement.
Saturday afternoon's defeat at Harlequins was a very disappointing and frustrating afternoon for the players, fans and officials of this club. I understand the fans that had made the trip at some expense must have been very disappointed and I can tell you the players were even more so. Defeats like what we saw on Saturday really do hurt us, as I understand they do the fans as well.
During the second half I received a barrage of personal abuse directed at me from a section of our 'support'. The abuse culminated over a period of time before I reached my breaking point and I snapped. Being only human I retaliated verbally and with a hand gesture to the said 'supporters'.
I would like to apologise for any offence caused to any supporters, especially families and young children that were sat in this area. As a professional rugby league player I understand I have an example to set and many young supporters see me as a role model. I take pride in how I handle myself and always try to set a good example for others to follow on and off the field. My reaction to the abuse was out of character for me, but as I said before, I had reached my breaking point.
Once again can I reiterate my sincere apologies for any offence caused.
This statement has been written with sincerity and I hope the good supporters of Warrington Wolves will accept it."
Matt King

In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

| It takes a big man to admit his mistakes so fair play to him.
but
it wasn't the hand gesture that upset me more the fact he was smiling.
It made him look arrogant and mercenary.
He has apologised though so me personally will draw a line under that.

| Interesting read that and fair play to him but it can't have been nice for him to hear any abuse from his fans.

| Fair play. Remember the bloke is only human and im sure the majority of people on here would have reacted in the same way to so much abuse. Lets try and brush this saga under the carpet and get behind the boys on Sunday to kickstart our season

| Spot on, apologising to those who had a right to be offended and not those who didn't.
King has received some torrid abuse from "fans", purely because he's the easiest and closest to target. As I've mentioned previously on here, King received abuse at the Catalans game, despite the fact he had done nothing contributory to the scores conceded.
Bradford fans may be silent
Saints fans may be glory hunting
Hull fans may be abusive towards other fans
But there is no excuse for being abusive to your own players.
