He is a big lad and so he could be coached to use that size better.

He flew out the line and dominated Matt King, on other days he may have missed him and been caught out, not today.

He is raw. Some people see him moving into the second-row at some stage of his career. At this moment he is a hard-working youngster who has potential, a good solid centre or winger.

Sorry I wasn't following the thread properly The Quins lad did very well, I was talking about Matt King, who is both physically weak and technically in defence.

Clubb, Mbu, Worrincy... all grafters punching above their weight because of the amazing work ethic and team spirit at Quins (Joe wasn't even rated at Donny FFS...). Goes to show the value of local pride... and there's more coming through after 7 or 8 years hard development work (following 2 wasted decades of short term fixes). The future's bright in London, bring it on!!

It's funny because my dad ( who doesent watch much rugby league these days) pointed out King the other week on a Sky game and described him as a bloody big lad who runs like a big girl!

He walked in tonight just as King was being flung into touch.

He needs to improve Asap because even thou a great player for Melbourne. He is playing absolute sh*t!!! for Warrington.

Strange, Clubb, Sherrife, Sharpe and Wells had decent games

How many tries did they score between them? Lets face it this thread has been set up and has been joined by jealous fans eager to knock a top player that is playing for somebody elses club. Would any super league club not want Matt King in their team? Lets wait until the grounds firm up before we write a aussie international back off as not good enough.

An International back was kept in his place by a young player from Kent, now who do you think would have more experience of playing in wet conditions, a young lad from down south who's only been in the game a few years or a guy who has played a few winter seasons in Melbourne, a climate not renown for being dry?

A good player plays well no matter what the conditions, Penny saw p1$$ poor service all night.

Seemed to me that neither centre had a lot of faith in their wingers.

You've got to be kidding. Never heard his name mentioned once!

On King, give the guy time. It took Lyon about a dozen matches to get into the swing of things and he was playing in a good team.

King owned yet again
