Because he is playing mostly out of position at Warrington, he has poor players around him, he doesn't seem to like it in this country and probably isn't used to the Warrington teams way of life.
I reckon it could be a combination of all of these things.
Paul Cullen / James Lowes are not in the same universe, never mind the same league as Craig Bellamy.
Warrington is a good place to live, but can hardly compare to Melbourne. Can he cope with the transition from cafe culture to Bridge Street binge drinking.
Although we signed him as a centre, his best position is definately on the wing, but with the money he's on this seems a bit of a waste.
Remember this is the man that scored a hat-trick in the State of Origin decider 3 years ago, and won NSW player of the series while also earning a call up to one of the worlds great sporting sides.
Ultimately, while these changes may have taken some getting used to, at the end of the day he made the decision to come over to these shores. We the fans were under the impression that we were getting a world class three-quarter who could help us to long overdue success, yet what we have seen so far is anything but.
While King may have once been lauded as one of the worlds top backs, remember less than 6 years ago he almost quit the game after failing to earn a pro contract and worked as a binman. WBC are always on the lookout for strong, hard-working men. At the moment even they would refuse to take him on.
I have faith that with a new man in charge we could see a rejuvinated player, with the potential to become the second SL based player to earn a State of Origin call-up. But he could just as easily be back on the bins or pulling pints in the Railway.
Matt the choice is yours.
