Is it just simply that they had 12 other better defenders so he wasn't exposed anywhere near as much as he is for us ? Something is wrong, big time.'"
That's the only explanation I can think of.
Gidley's try from Gardner's offload, for example, I don't understand why he and AN Other (couldn't make out who it was) had to over-run themselves and line up behind Penny, leaving Gidley in the proverbial acres of space. Perhaps he has such little faith in Penny he predicted an easy walk over for Gardner and felt he had to prepare for such an eventuallity. Even so, what happened to good old fashioned communication between he and AN Other?

| It's really really sad that Matt King is taking up about 12% of your salary cap but is underperforming so badly. Gidley made him look like a rank amateur last night. That said, Gilmour did the same to Johnson.
It's not all doom and gloom though for you Wolfs. Mickey Higham had a very good game, and when he was on the field, Rauhihi caused us problems. Riley's got plenty of spirit and you've got another yard dog in Carvell (but what more do you expect from Hull).

The consensus from the Stains trolls we've had today seems to be that Carvell is a bit of a rough house/dirty player? I don't understand where this has come from? He seemed to hit hard, but fair to me last night. Certainly no more of a 'yard dog' than Cunningham, Graham or Marie.

| Didn't King jack the game in early in his career, before coming back to it?
His performances for us on the whole would suggest that he has in fact jacked it in again. Except he's getting paid very nicely for it now.

| I'm suprised no one has mentioned when Leon Pryce used his knees late in a tackle on Hicks in the 2nd half on the Saints line. The linesman or ref didn't spot it but Hicks gave him a little slap after the event. If the Saints fans want to point the finger at Carvell as being dirty they should look at there own players first.

| Haven't read all of this thread, would I be correct in thinking people are pointing out that we have the highest paid (allegedly) centre in the world that can't offload, sidestep, fend and has no sense of defensive positioning? I've defended him too long, i've had enough now: KING OUT

Minus 100% of the ferocity. His tackling reminded me of a poor actor.

| I don't want to sound like a Matt King sympathiser, but if we are prepared to defend the team with the line 'it was only the first game', then surely King deserves similar.
Admittedly, this is a big year for the guy. His performances have got to improve, otherwise he will deservedly get stick from the public, but one game at Saints isn't the time to totally give up on him.
Must admit though, I'd seriously be thinking of giving him an extended run on the wing just as a possible way of restoring obvious confidence loss.

I noticed this, Hicks gave Price a slap and somebody pushed Hicks from behind with his leg out causing him to trip.

How long do we continue to make apologies for him? He isn't a 17 year old rookie.

How long do we make apologies for the team?...They aren't rookies...
Seriously, I agree he's on borrowed time, but one game at Saints is a bit harsh to be singled out.
Since we live in a situation where we are unable to ship out players mid-season, I think it makes more sense to actually give the guy a real chance, rather than bag him for what was a pretty dis-jointed effort all round.

The thing is if he wasn't brought in with so much expectation as a star player (with a salary to match) there wouldn't be as much pressure on him to perform. But pressure comes with the territory and you would hope he would realise that.
