Monaghan is a kangaroo test centre, put him in the centres.

Don' know how that happened but I would be brave and put Evans in there as well but it will likely be Blythe.

1. B Hodgson
2. R Evans
3. J Monaghan
4. R Atkins
5. C Riley

If King has done cruciate and medial ligaments then that's his season

In the worse case scenario lets say we have to release Matt King due to injury, i presume the insurance would cover any pay off and it wouldn`t count against the salary cap.

We would then need to find a replacement centre with experience, ideally SL experience. I think i have a possible soloution.

Leigh owe us a favour or two due to us helping them out with dual registered players, what about Stuart Littler as a replacement for Matt King ? It would be hard to find experienced players so late in the day, this could solve our problem.

Re: King out for months : Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:42 pm  

once a player plays in a season it counts on the cap that's why it was possible to pay off Hicks as he hadn't played.Littler in place of King I think not.Anyway let's all hang on a bit till we get results from the scan.

Re: King out for months : Sun Feb 13, 2011 8:17 pm  

Are we assuming then that King will not sign an extension to his contract?

Also, if the injury is as bad as we fear, Could this be the end of Matt's career?
