Rob, Riley isn't a novice when it comes to the fullback position, he played his Academy career there and I'm pretty sure his amateur days were spent there too (I'm sure SEB can verify this).

Majority on the wings.

Drop King. Simple answer

Agreed. Penny and Riley both deserve to be in ahead of King at the moment.

i would almost actually want to go to the leeds game if i thought riley and penny would both be playing

as it is a feel like im almost going against my will i really don't want to see matt king in a warrington shirt ever again...a donkey i can tolerate, a donkey on a champion racehorse's wages i can't!

get the young lads in now and in however many years time when we are constrained to use a certain amount of players who came through our own ranks we will be laughing

i would stick by riley for the time being, i'd stick by penny and bring him back and i'd drop matt king so bloody far it'd be untrue, get him in the reserves and let him have a trip mid week to some poop hole in huddersfield. Reality check time boyo!

Thats basically what i have suggested in the Leeds team thread, to be honest i wouldn`t lose any sleep if Matt King was dropped and we never seen him in a Warrington shirt again.

That reminds me, have the bin men been yet....

It's sad when you think back 18 months or so, and remember how excited we all were when the Matt King signing was announced. Now I reckon most Wire fans, myself included, would gladly contribute to a whip-round for his air fare back home.
I wonder if we could swap him for Brent Grose....

There was somebody we should have kept.

So you think 1 bad game and Riley should be dropped, he's bin arguably our best player for the first 2 games of the season.

And that is purely your opinion.

I thought he had a shocker against the French.
Falling over into touch after taking a kick and conceeding possession - come on.

Last week was just as bad - letting the ball bounce? Coming into the line at, in my opinion, the wrong place and as a result taking a pass clearly not meant for him in the chops, conceeding possession and giving them a 60/70 yarder?

Stick him on the wing and put Hicks (with his undoubted experience) at FB.

Very true, i used to love watching the NRL on a Saturday/Sunday morning when either Melbourne or Manly were playing and drooling over the ability of King and Monaghan, and thinking we were going to be Grand Final certs. 18 months on and we are a laughing stock, with King and Mona's looking shadows of the players i watched in the NRL.

it's a shame because he seems like a nice bloke but i would love it if there is some sort of unprecedented mid contract move back to australia for him

i was hell bent on being optimistic about him at every turn, when other team's fans were boasting about their centre owning him, including that game at leigh where, looking back, he was dismal i always had big hopes but now i say get penny back in there with bridge inside him, mistakes and all give the lad a good sustained chance to learn and get better
