Compare the stats: http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player.php?hs1=2008&hp1=920&hs2=2008&hp2=2596&stat=tries&season=2008 Carmont has better statistics than Matt Gidley and that is a player who has played the exact number of games. I'd suggest, though i haven't checked, that keith senior has the best stats of any centre in super league. The old stager has still got it.

Give King time and he'll shine (but Carmont has been our best centre since Renouf)

Sometimes players come from the NRL and the excpectations of them are very high. King has not delivered to the high standard people excpected from him. And tbh King has disappointed. Hes more than lilkley the highest paid player in SL and shows nothing of the quality of the best players in the league.

As for Carmont hes solid very reliable and pretty decent with ball in hand. Has played well in most games this season. you cant say that about King can you.

How many games have you seen King play?

yeah you can, in the games that he's played he's only had one below average game in which the whole team was off.

but wiganers don't want to hear or deal with truth, or honesty or sticking to the rules etc.

You're easily pleased in Wigan, is this the old fabel that when anybody signs for Wigan they're suddenly very good and when they reject Wigan(which in all honesty tends to happen quite alot nowadays) they suddenly become helpful? It seems Buderus pied you of(excuse the pun) to play for a decent team as well. I love it how you're aware of wages SL players are on also..oh wait.it said it in the papers..it must be true. Let's crary on and use your logic then..Is Lee Briers better then Trent Barrett?

At Wigan we're happy with what we've got. 4th in the league not playing all that well still players to come back from injury - I am quite happy. I know what your saying though for a big club like Wigan that's not good enough and we should be 1st or 2nd but fans have come to the realization that the game is not how it was 10/15 years ago when we won every trophy in rugby league at free will.

As for Buderus you made a comment about it being in the papers so it must be true well it was in the papers Wigan were after him so is that definitely true then? All the players that "keep rejecting us" that's all paper talk. How do you know we were in for them in the first place? Don't contradict yourself. Wigan are always thrown in the mix for players by their agents simply because it's Wigan. The most famous name in rugby league.

I don't know about the best stats but his stats are certainly very good. As you would expect given the team he is playing for.

Carmont is better

Just spat my coffe all over the place reading that. You truly are the dumbest poster that has ever or will ever post on these boards. The only other explanation could be is that you must be a comedy genius.

I see Matt King has now taken over from Martin Gleeson as the "Warrington centre that everybody who never watches Warrington will tell you is playing rubbish"

I wonder if King now has the clause in his contract saying if Warrington don't finish in the top six he can sign for Wigan?
