Hopefully we will have learned our lesson with this. If he's tearing up trees then offer him an extended contract during the season. Simples!

Good luck to Kingy, an old fashioned forward (likes to play and drink), unfortunately for him modern day game doesnt allow it.

i wouldnt worry about his tackling, we'll simply set richie moore to "tackle mode" and he'll make 4 tackles a set for 80 mins! simple

Was not aware of his off field problems but i am sure Kear is aware of them. I think it is a very good signing and im sure that there will be something in his contract covering misdemeanours and also he has now come out of his comfort zone of Hull and will hopefully want to prove himself and earn an extended contract...if it is drink he will also have to be careful given o doubt he will be travelling to training and matches

then again he could get a lift won Broughy's bus !!!!!!

I've read somewhere that he suffers from claustrophobia.

One year and someone comes in and steals
Two years and he does little in fisrt year

At least with one year we get value for money.

To be fair he has been shown the door by his home town club and it is a case of play well or hope that some other clib comes in for him.

Might do him some good being released by Hull, might give him a kick up the backside, was one of the best props in SL in 2004/2005, played quite well last season towrads the end of the year . Has had some back luck with injurries and lets himself down off the field.

Woudlnt worry about him leaving you he is a very loyal player, the only club he would leave you for is Hull, and I cant see he ever coming back.

I really hope he goes well for you, on the field you will get 100% from him.

Good luck to him. I think its probably the change he needs to sort him self out. Great player when he has his head in the game and he played very well at times under Kear. Could turn out to be a great signing for you guys, but I doubt we would have been able to replicate if he does, he had got his feet too far under the table at FC.

Lots of things to consider here.We trusted J.K on Petersen & got our fingers burnt big style.On fhe other hand Moore & Bibey came to us as the last chance saloon,so no complaints there.Hope J.K is right this time,in Paul King we have potentialy a very good signing & if anyone can turn him round it,s J.K, who isn,t often wrong,but time will tell.Watch this space as the saying goes.

I don't he's as bad as used to be. He couldn't go on warm weather trips etc a few years back because he couldn't go on planes. I think when Catalans got their franchise Hull payed for him to have therapy to get over it and he is better than he was iirc.

Good luck Kingy. Has his problems off the pitch but on it he will give his all for you (did for us anyway). Hopefully he will get over his recent injuries and return to the player of a few years ago.

Nice to see FC fans wishing him well on here and the Hull board.

No wonder by the sound of things. They've all been out on the lash with him at some stage or other!!!!!

Best of luck Kingy on his day one of the best forwards in SL.
Really hope he works out for you guys,just ran out of chances at Hull.

On his day, a devastating runner with a superb offload. He doesn't take backward steps and runs it in hard.

Keep him focussed and he'll go well.

Good luck, Kingy.
