King Vuniyayawa moving on to Salford for 2022

Good luck to him. Hasn't disgraced himself and always committed

Looked useful when on the field, but never stayed on the field long enough, repeated Hia and injuries, but we have better and can get better

Confirmed where?

Best move all round IMO

I think this will mean we keep Martin

I'd definitely keep martin. Partly because he's a genuinely good kicker but also because,whilst he certainly doesn't rip up trees, he's a good, solid and experienced player in a position that whilst we have the quantity im yet to be convinced on the quality.

Never saw the point in signing king.

never good enough

Agree Tad

The big question is, have they already lined up an upgrade or are they now back in the (always crowded) market for props? I really hope it is the former and not the latter. Don't want to be drifting toward Christmas with holes in the squad this year.

Quite like him, hits hard and good meters after contact...But like Hurrell,way too many errors, be that with the ball or defensivly, they kill teams and we'v had too many players who are prone to them.

Dont know if its by design or not but glad we'r rectifying that.

Presumably we have another prop lined up of better quality, whether British or overseas.
King has done OK imo and I would have been happy to keep him if he wasn't taking up too much cap space.The HIA's were a concern and he does look a bit raw at times but there is a good player in there. He makes good metres after contact and hits hard in defence. Good luck to him.

Think he'll go well at Salford. A mid table prop (no offence intended to either party). Didn't manage to stay on the field long enough but was solid when on. Think if he was British he'd have got another year but difficult to justify an overseas space on mid table

Interesting we apparently offered him a deal. Maybe we are behind the 8 ball with a replacement

The club must have contingency plans for a player who leaves surely! Plus, couldn't we just use thompson there until someone whose played prop for more than 10 minutes of their careers becomes available?

Meh. If this means we could bring Luke Thompson home for example it would be excellent business.

My worry is who's going to coordinate the future signings now that Sinny has gone.He was instrumental in bringing Bentley in,could do with more of the same.Perhaps the sleeve can magic something bloody spectacular.A quality nrl prop should be on his radar.

Hetherington was the best in the business at doing that for decades. Sinfield was supposed to be learning from him.

Thats correct just hope he's not lost his mojo.

King Vuniyayawa was signed to play prop, he’s not comparable to Martin, who by the way think we should certainly keep.

We say GH is a maestro but the club massively lost it's way in the back end of the Golden era. We made a series of terrible signings over years and got way too complacent.

I have a huge respect for GH, I really do. But whether it was him, Brian Mac or a combination, we lost the plot for a while back there.

One of the main, simple reasons Saints have been significantly better than us that that they have consistently signed better than us.

I would like to think we will re-focus on a real prop here. We should have the quota and the cash to bring in someone decent - Ava+ mould.

I don't think you can overstate how much pressure was on the club to secure the funding for the stadium and get it built. The squad was definitely but on the back burner for a few years. Now that's done, we can concentrate on renovating the infrastructure with the club.

I am a GH fan don't get me wrong - and I love the way the club has come out and attacked the post-COVID world with positive signings and investment.

Let's just pray that next year is just about COVID-free and we can get back to full normal for the whole season again.

I thought I read somewhere he'd been brought in as a 'middle' but I could be wrong. I don't really think you can compare the two players which is why I didn't.i was just responding to the post above mine. I'd keep martin but I'm not bothered about king.

Probably so but i wouldn't.We have loads of options in the back row.Would rather we signed two props.
