I remember early days last season Vinnie anderson would join the line late on the left hand side from time to time giving the half back options of passes to Numbers 5, 4, 11 and 13 or to go himself. You throw a fullback into that lot and you have a lot of options. I have not seen those sorts of numbers in attack for a while now.

Is it not there or am I just not seeing it.

No, these days we like to use numbers 8, 10, 15 and 16.

Some players only look good in a world class team, stick him in the manly team and he would be a world star again but in the wire team, no offence he does not have the quality he used to have around him.

But then he also doesn't have the quality up against him either, so it is all relative.

There have been plenty of times where he has been in a two on two situation with Penny, one of the fastest players in the league on his outside, and he has done balls all with that. Brent Grose could make plenty of space for his wingers. It is not down to the players around him, it is down to him.

King is a top class player he has proved it in the past,but now he has let hisself fall down to the standards of all the other players around him.

Matt King is obviously not as good as people thought. You can't say he's come down to our level, that's just rubbish . Players like Gidley and Barrett stand out in any team. King hasn't got the skills he's a big strong guy who is effective in the physical, grinding style they play in Australia but we don't play like that here, and it doesn't suit him as much

Maybe we should make him do a morning on the bins.

Give him a reality check.

As mentioned previously, King didn't make with two or three clubs before joining Melbourne and Craig Bellamy.
Bellamy got the very best out of King knowing where to play him and how.
Previous coaches had failed and Warrington's coaches haven't succeeded yet.
If he returned to Melbourne and Bellamy he'd be back to his best in no time.
How long is left on his contract?
