Think this is the problem for Wire, obviously you’re keen to move on from King but it’s not as simple as “get rid of King to keep Wardle”

For King to go elsewhere you’ll most likely need to contribute to his wages for the duration of his current contract as this year he’s playing well below his value.

Interesting how it will all shake out!

King to Wigan on loan. Wow.

Will this mean Wardle going back to Huddersfield ? Sounds like the need to sign for Huddersfield was less important than to just get away from the HJ, no matter where .

Hopefully this does mean Wardle stays on board with us (fingers crossed).
If not i've no idea what we're gonna do unless (like someone previously said) Currie to left centre, Holmes back on the left where he belongs. And Nicholson to right second row?
But i would just prefer us to keep Wardle, Even if it's just for 2023

Who have Huddersfield got for next year? Cudjoe and Naiqama?

Leutele hasn't signed for anyone else yet has he?

I think he's confirmed he's leaving Huddersfield

Does this also mean we possibly signing Wardle and him not going to Wigan next season.

Watson has obviously decided that he doesn`t want/rate King, since King already had a season long loan at Huddersfield.

It will be interesting to see how King goes at Wigan, until the end of the season.

Maybe he does want him but the contract for next season is the issue? Or maybe Wigan want him more? Either way I have a feeling Toby King will show his worth in the wigan colours.

Let’s hope so as his worth is not much. Wardle is a much better centre, if King going to Wigan means we get Wardle I think we can all agree we’ve got the better deal.

King could play well in the current Wigan team, where Field and French are terrorising defences with their footwork and pace.

When they played us at the HJ, the gaps they created, made Iain Thornley look brilliant and he completely dominated Toby King.

I too want Wardle to sign a permanent deal for Wire, which would include a transfer fee to Huddersfield.

It could be that Wigan won`t pay a transfer fee and hence they have moved to sign King instead?

Bibby, and another NRL centre joining in Masters.

Unless something has changed in the last 10 days Wardle was 100% a Wigan player for next season.

Stranger things have happened that he may now have turned his back on that deal but Wire would have to pay for it, ie to Wigan.

It does happen. I know of 1 club who have signed a player from his current club and are now offering him back to them as they can secure a better player for a fee of £60k.

I’m 100% confident though that 10 days ago Wardle had agreed terms and signed a pre contract agreement with Wigan. Wardle cannot go back to Hudds due to his relationship with Watson.

Leutele was nailed on for Leigh, with McDonald going to Leeds, not sure if he had signed for Leigh though, maybe you have gone in for him?

Interesting how this all plays out over the next weeks/months.

King is a lot better a player than most of our fans give credit for. Wigan wouldn't have taken him if he wasn't.

I prefer Wardle though and would be delighted if we signed him. I think we need 2 centres though, I'm not really keen on Mata'utia to be honest I don't see what he brings to the plate other than being fairly solid, we would have been better off keeping mamo IMO. We need more control in our halves as well, a player with a tactical game because we don't seem to dictate where games will be played. Dean is the best choice of what we have in the first team squad currently, Leon Hayes could be worth a go but Williams and ratchford is 100% not the answer.
