hope they don't come to blows over it.

Catsmith are you going to see the newly reformed Faith No More @ Download in June?

Well apparently someone called King takes an alledged £180K of your cash per season ...

ooh , i'd forgot about this, sorry for not responding, your pm disapeared quickly following the slew of other pm's re this weeks fun and games on here.

Very glad to hear about it, however i won't be able to go, fingers crossed they do a tour afterwards, i'll try and get them on that, i won't hold my breath though, certainly won't be surprised if it all falls apart before download.

thats' wrong, soooo wrong,


It's at least 400k

Cool. They are meant to be touring apart from that as well. Given how much they liked to scrap with each other I wouldnt be surprised if it fell aprt either? Perhaps they've matured though.

I cant wait to see them its going to be epic <--------------- see what I did there?

Who cares (a lot)!

A glorious enigma. My all time favourite gig was a FNM one, just as Patton had joined 'em all fresh faced and The Real Thing came out. International 2 in Manchester, cozy venue, an album of cracking tracks and a few oldies that one cares a lot about. Sadly they also provided one of my worst gigs too a few years later when they toured with Angel Dust - saw them at Sheffield Arena and they weren't the same band when you stuck them in a stadium.

I just hope Smith finds a way to get King over his Midlife Crisis.

It would be a small victory.

king for a day, fool for the rest of his contract?

I know.

I'd be happy if he could for now, get half of his game in order. Say, if he was back at centre, still had crap hands, no skill etc, but absolutely nobody went through him, if he was solid as a rock defensively I'd be pretty happy with that, I know you want more from your 'star import' etc but at least you'd have a foundation to build on, and he could build his confidence from, eventually, he'd get enough good balls to get over the line.

why back at centre he`s a winger...bridge plays centre and he`s a stand off....hope smith sorts this out asap

He's not a winger, he's slow as hell. He's a centre, though he just hasn't made a very good job of it thus far at Warrington. At Melbourne, he played centre, we don't need to go into the whole thing again about better players etc but the facts are that he played left centre, and had to mark right centres, centres like Gasnier, Lyon, Hodges et al and his team won the league, so he must have done okay at it.

I'd like to see Bridge in the halves too, but I'd also like to see Michael Monaghan show his best form for Warrington, over a period of time, and really show us what he can do, but I'm also not in the 'Bin Lee Briers' category either, I still think he's our most creative halfack, so I don't really know where I stand on this. I think I'm in the 'Give Monaghan & Briers one last chance' (I don't mean one game literally) to form a partnership under the guidance of Smith, with Bridge from the bench if you need a more direct running approach.

good points but how come he played on the wing for the aussies....think wherever smith plays him he`s got to get his finger out and show us a bit..after all he does owe us big time

Better centres than him, simple as that. They couldn't find a place for him at centre, so they put him on the wing. Like they did in the last World Cup with Joel Monaghan, Australia tend to have a powerful winger, they have done for quite a while with Sailor, King, Monaghan etc, they also have a very pinpoint & targetted kicking game to utilise this, we don't. In SL, you'll get more chances from your own half, sweeping moves, 2 v 1's from distance etc, King isn't the man to make the most of these, at all. Put it this way, he's on the wing now for what he's NOT done not because it's what he's good at if that makes sense ?

I would have dropped Matt King today and played Chris Bridge at left centre to reward him for a solid display last week, the new coach could have made it clear that no player is guarenteed a shirt here. Matt King could have had no arguements, he could have played Penny outside of Chris Bridge as Leeds don`t have the strongest right hand side and Penny may have got a bit of first team confidence back.

Tony Smith's already said Jimmy would be the one mostly responsible for the team this week. After all, he only came in on thursday. I think Smith's job will will be take over from monday.

I thought Kind Played 100% better yesterday? Anyone?

I agree...looked to get more involved.

Definitely you could tell he was instructed to get more involved especially around the ruck area.

Overall was please with yesterdays performance a LOT more commitment was on show, and we were very unlucky not to come away with the two points. (We should have made more of all the possession we had throughout the 2nd half).

All in all it was worth catching frost-bite in the stands just to see Morleys 2nd half hit, and Anderson's Cassius Clay impersonation

What did you make of King yesterday Rob?

He was more involved but still a long way off being anything more than average.
