We now need to adopt a siege mentality all round - players / fans /officials - we are one big team, let's start acting like one.
Remember, we have no divine right to win every game !'"
We do have a right though if we are spending a decent whack each week to expect the player to try their best and run their blood to water.
They did V's Leeds and got new abuse at all, they didn't at London and got abuse for it.
The only people that can halt the fans reactions are the players by being seen to be busting a nut on the pitch.

on that point, for(and i'm not starting any king bashing here so please don't miscontrue it as that) with every player you can say "wow, that was great" or they've done something that really amazes you or impresses you, be it a great pass to set someone away(briers) shuddering tackles or thundering runs,(see some of johnners DH running v leeds) something that catches your eye. At least once.
Even going back to mike pechey in 98 and that run where he knocked edwards on his arris. He was crap for the rest of the season but that sticks out in your mind.
i've not had one of those moments from king, yet.

| I was quite close to where all the abuse was given and I was ashamed being a Warrington fan. Some of the people giving the abuse were obviously leathered and if it does that to you then....
Good on you Matt for apologising. I'm sure though that not many would not have reacted in some way. We now need to come together as a club, players, staff and supporters. We win together, and we lose together.

| If the abuse was as bad as what people are making out should this "fan" be banned from the ground for a period of time? I know there has been a full appology on both parties but King will get into trouble with the club yet the person who caused it wil get away scott free.

| Well done to Matt King, It takes a lot to admit he was wrong even though he is on a good wedge, so well done again.
I have seen him at the ground after he was injured by Mathers last year and he was polite with my family, he seemed to be a nice guy.

| Quite frankly he can make all the hand gestures he wants if he starts to perform to the level he is allegedly capable of.
I would have no problem in personally telling Matt King that he should do the job he is being well paid to do. He needs reminding that he is in a priveliged position as are the rest of the squad.

| It's not unreasonable to equate a player's wages with expectation of performance.
King was not the worst player on the field on Saturday, he didn't drop the ball, miss tackles galore, give penalties or kick like a crab. He did make at least one good run.
But he is reputedly on fantastic money - and his performances haven't backed that up. I assume as we are paying him good money, he was a good player in Australia. He hasn't been a good player for us - yet.

| Quote: 100% Warrior "So he should apologise, making such a gesture towards a crowd in a sport which prides itself on the 'family element' is un-acceptable.
Despite that, I can also see why he reacted in that way, recieving a barrage of personal abuse isn't going to entice any other reaction except that type.'"
same gesture brown give warrington fans at challange cup match at widnes a few years ago, dont recall his apology
