I think it is fair to say the NRL is more defence orientated than SL, so if he is going to be exposed as a poor carrier of the ball it would be there. I don't recall him having an issue with his ball retention there. |

To be fair in a one on one defending position i'd have more confidence in King than Penny but I take your point

Suffice to say that King had one of his best games in a Wire shirt and hopefully can now show why we brought him to the club in the first place.
His try where he reached up/caught/placed down in one flowing motion is one if the seasons highlights for mine thus far.

Yet last week he took most of the abuse, although manley from so called fans who had clearly been on the from god knows what time, wonder if they were singing his praises this week..........Fickle or what  |

Lies, damn lies and statistics.
With Penny on the field this season we have conceded an average of 0.19 points per minute, which would work out at 15 points per game.
With Penny in the stands we have conceded an average of 0.47 points per minute, or 37.3 per game.
I'm not trying to claim Penny is defensively sound, or that King is weak. Just pointing out that stats can be used/twisted to show whatever you want them to. |

You don't need statistics to see he can't remotely tackle one on one.
Still, I'd have him in the team imo

| I apologise, the quote I should have used, and was thinking of when I posted was.
Quote: Latchford Wolvesfan "
Hicks is fine, reasonable defense and scores the tries, ive provided the facts and unfortunately for you, facts cant be denied.'"
The fact still remains that this season, as a team, on average we have conceded 2.5 times as many points with Penny off the pitch as we have on it. Stats can't lie can they!
And I am fully aware what IMO means, I have some of my own, but I prefer to keep them to myself. |

Loving that you quote posts, but take the bits out where people have a pop at you, and are completely correct about you. |
