How long do we make apologies for the team?...They aren't rookies... :lol:

Seriously, I agree he's on borrowed time, but one game at Saints is a bit harsh to be singled out.

Since we live in a situation where we are unable to ship out players mid-season, I think it makes more sense to actually give the guy a real chance, rather than bag him for what was a pretty dis-jointed effort all round.

The thing is if he wasn't brought in with so much expectation as a star player (with a salary to match) there wouldn't be as much pressure on him to perform. But pressure comes with the territory and you would hope he would realise that.

He was definitely impersonating a banker on Friday night.

Complete donkey, and I'm sick of people defending him and putting the blame on Penny for King's ineptitude.

feel sorry for him tbh. You guys need to realise that on Fri he was facing a genuine world class centre. Many others would have ended up looking as stupid.

Don't talk nonsense. People aren't slagging him off due to one bad match. They are slagging him off for a full season of it, and this year starting where he left off.

It's not all about Saints, average players have made him look poor.

I dont see your problem. Matt Gidley is a genuine Aussie great as his record shows. Matt King has simply been shown up by a great player which there is no shame in that.

The point being that we're not basing it on one game, he's been shown up by too many centres, not all of them 'world class', if any.
