Paul Wood looked more off the pace than Roy. Poor decision by TS to play him at loose and to leave Harrison out who has been terrific of late.

I think Ben was left out because of the pitch and potential issues with knees, but I agree that Wood is no loose forward.

King in his first season was suffering from a lack of confidence and the team playing poorly given the names we had.
Roys case is not the same.

When his signing was announced last year I watch the next game he played in for Souths. He got pulled after 13 minutes having made two drives and one tackle. Every time I watched him after that it was the same story. Unfortunately that "form" has been brought over here! I decided to give him time to settle but with the season 2/3rds gone he appears to look bereft off upping his work rate. Question is will he be here next year?

Question is Big D who had carte blanche to sign a player that was over the hill ? It is no good blaming Roy Asotase ,the club are supposed to have a scouting & management system in place that will bring the most suitable players to the club.
I don't suppose Roy is over the moon that his best years may be behind him but he still has a family to feed & the Wire are his meal ticket for the next couple of years.

I don't know why people compare Little Roy Asotasi and Matt King, assuming he will come good next year.
King went to England in his 20's and at his peak, Asotasi is 32 and at least 5 years past his best

He has, along with a number of other players, signed up for a 2yr college course. So I think the answer is, yes.

Big Roy hasn't been the same player since the bad injury he got in 2010. Before then he was a renowned enforcer, the Kiwi and Souths captain, a star player; over the three years in the NRL since then he gradually became an impact player, then a squad player, then a bit of a nothing player...then we signed him. It was poor scouting by Wire.

At least with King we knew he was a good player when we signed him, not four years ago. He was only 27 when we signed him too so in his prime, poor form at that age is usually temporary. Poor form at 32 after three previous years of not showing any sort of good form, doesn't end with good form.

A massive waste of space and salary cap!

This guys reputation says that he is a guy every team would want. However, the reality is very much of a guy that no team would want. As i have said before on this subject, we could get a prop from any of our local amateur teams and be pleased with the effort shown each week. Instead we have to put up with this guy week in week out!

I'd rather have Ben Cross

I'd rather have John Cross from the Market!

I rather have Harry Cross.
