League Express reporting that he has turned down the offer of a new contract at Belle Vue at the end of the season and that KR are interested in him

He's not irreplaceable but I like him so would not want to see him leave.

Solid performer, and all teams need them, but only a bench player.

Solid performer and did us proud during some tough times last year, not irreplaceable as Poppy has said but I was starting to like the look of our forwards, almost youthful with a enough experience in there to take us forward.

What I fear is the plan will be to let George go to KR and we'll replace him with Romain Navarrete on a permanent deal.

A lot of players seem very happy at BV, more than most clubs it seems but we can't expect all of them to settle. Most likely money and he can't be blamed for that.

There’s also the Tony Smith factor.

If his contract is up then inevitably the one we put forward to him most likely won't have been as generous in the current circumstances. £300k hole in finances for every club next year according the reports regarding TV money.

We'll see a lot of this generally across the sport and also a lot of the guys from down under having contracts terminated by mutual consent etc.

Signed for Hull KR for next season according to League Express

Players come and go. I like King but if his heart isn't at Wakefield then it's better he goes and frees a place up.

Hes one of those players that in my view will not be missed..

Liked what I saw of navarette playing for us ,a no nonsense tough uncompromising player.
Seen a lot worse down at the club over the years .

I think the thing with King is that he was bought as a 13 who could switch to prop. Or a middle as Chester calls them.
With Westerman coming we are well catered for at 13 so a straight up prop is an adequate replacement and Naverette fits that role.

I think at the moment King is never going to be a first choice for us at prop. He left Warrington to get more playing time and he's not looking like getting it (or not as much as he wants) so he has decided to move on. No problem with that.
He did OK for us and I wish him well at Hull KR.

I thought George was solid and reliable every time he played.
I never wondered what he was gonna bring when he came on, or that the team was weaker.
There's a certain comfort in reliable if not spectacular..

I agree. I felt he made his yards, usually got a quick ptb and made few mistakes.
We need the few mistakes skill in whoever takes his place.

Saying that Arona is probably going to be that guy so he fits the bill.
