Personally i think Tony Smith has a tricky decision to make when Chris Hicks is fit and when Brian Carney arrives, to me Matt King has looked far more at home outside of Chris Bridge on the right wing. This isn`t suprising given that he played origin and test rugby on the right wing, when we signed him i pointed this out that he`s a far better winger than he is a centre as he`s a very good target man thats good in the air and is very difficult to stop close to the line due to his shear size.

I would be very suprised if we seen him as a main starting centre again in a Warrington shirt, the only time we should start him at centre is to cover for possible injuries. He`s playing well on the wing and he`s been a good target man for Lee Briers, not many players will out jump him or stop him with a full head of steam close to the line.

Quote: Burnzy Wire Wire "Did you know Matt King is the tallest player in Super League ??'"


I`d be interested to know what the stats are on how many tries we have scored down the right hand side when Matt King has been on the left side of the field, we have always been a side that favours attacking the right, the amount of tries tries Henry Fa afili scored backs this up and now Chris Hicks is doing similar.

Even if you had Matt King`s height on the left i still think we would favour attacking the right, it doesn`t help Matt King if he`s on the left wing having Michael Monaghan as his main distribution source as Monaghan doesn`t have the best passing game in the world and his kicking is poor.

Like you say Matt King is the tallest or one of the tallest players in SL, he needs quality service and he would get better service on the right from Briers compared to what he would get from Monaghan.

Grix may have to make way for King to fit Hicks and Carney in the team. Grix may possibly have the weakest attacking game out of some very good picks IMO. However Grix made some fantstic tackles protecting the try line on sat that shouldn't go unnoticed.

[quote="Susan":1cwsq9hj]I've had enough, lets not go down the shouting for the coaches head route, Brians done a fantastic job. He took the club over in dificult circumstances and the team punched well above there weight in the play offs. We've got to be realistic, our glory days have gone, we're no longer a Saints, Leeds or a Warrington.[/quote:1cwsq9hj] [img:1cwsq9hj]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a208/wires4eva/MikeGregory.jpg[/img:1cwsq9hj]:19801.gif

TS alluded to the fact that Grix was playing as backup in that role of centre in an interview with Skents a couple of weeks back so looks like hes going to move back to the pack and challenge Vinnie for loose

The more competition for places the better icon_biggrin.gif

Everybody looks more comfortable on our right because that's where Briers plays to.
