It’s definitley come from Hull KR. Shaun Kenny-Dowell is on a wedge and he’s leaving which frees up a lot of cash and a centre spot.

Well whoever it is we surely will not be struggling with our salary cap next year with the 'loss' of Akauola, departure of Clark plus one or more of Widdop / Clark D / Austin. I suppose no club will be rolling in cash after the ravages of Covid but the club must be able to pay for King ?

You’d think so wouldn’t you.

Might not be a case of being able to afford it but if we consider him worth that kind of money or not.

True, the club may feel they are being ripped off. But they would need to find a suitable replacement, and possibly pay a transfer fee.. I guess they will look at the problem from both sides before deciding.

I'd be incredibly dissapointed with the club if they let Toby King go for wage reasons, they were happy enough to pay latu last season and asotasi a few years back, king has at times been a shining light and I'd imagine a player that Powell would want in his squad. The question they need to ask is could they bring in a better player for less money? It's doubtful isn't it really. We need to get him signed up and soon.

Spot on. The club have shot themselves in the foot over what they’ve paid players in the past. We paid Tyrone Roberts 300k. No wonder King wants 140k+.

Maybe he is motivated by the challenge of being part of a project with an ambitious club on the rise rather than just sitting in comfort zone at a big club, like Martin Gleeson joining us from Saints.

We should keep him and i'm shocked we let him get in to the last year of his contract. He'll keep getting better over the next few years so it would be daft to let him go.
King and Mata'utia in the centres next year i'd be happy with, Widdop and Trueman in the halves, and keep Daz would be the dream. Keep Hill coming off the bench and pick up Tom davies as a replacement for Lineham and we're looking solid next year

Yeah, couldn't agree more. One of the best all-round wingers in the game and doesn't get the credit he deserves. I hope he's not enjoying the South of France too much and wants home. I was shocked that Wigan let him go as I thought he was better than Marshall, even if he wasn't quite as quick.

We simply have to keep Toby King. To let him go another SL club would be pure negligence in my opinion. He’s probably the most inform player in the country at the minute.

He's been one of the most in form players in the league for at least 18 months now.

Tom Davies on the wing is a good shout, depending on what we are doing with Lineham and how he goes about improving his discipline when (if) he gets back in the team.

Toby King is worth spending on. His performance last night showed his worth. He seems to be leading by example, if there is a better centre in SL at the moment I haven’t seen him.

I wouldn’t swap Tom Lineham for any winger in the league. He is the big game winger. I’d hate it for another club to have him, just you can’t trust him anymore.

I'd swap Tom Lineham for several wingers in the league, but probably none that we can afford within the salary cap. And I'm a fan of his try scoring ability.

Tom Johnstone, Tommy Makinson, Regan Grace, Dom Manfredi, Tom Davies all say Hi.

I'm also a big Lineham fan, as you rightly point out he does have a knack of scoring on the big occasion and also in poor weather conditions that the grand final is often played in.

He does need to grow up a bit now, he's not a young kid anymore and he needs to take his responsibilities to the team a bit more seriously.

That Madame Boyd on Twitter who’s reliable is saying Trueman is a done deal 270k. Clark and Austin both to Titans they reckon.

Cas fans have mixed views about Trueman. His performance yesterday did little to suggest he is worth spending a fortune on. Always been a Toby fan but he does lack the handling ability of a class centre.

The pass to Daryl Clark for the first try on Friday looked like one of real quality to me. Just can't see us allowing Toby to leave despite the SC restrictions.

I would happily not sign a marquee halfback if it meant keeping Clark. I’d let go of Austin. Give Clark a marquee deal. Keep Widdop and play Ratchford/Dean in the halves with Thewlis/Ashton at fullback.

Karl Fitzpatrick, the quietness is deafening.

Rather have that than the voice of Karl Fitzpatrick in my head - take it as a positive.

Maybe Daryl powell has not made any decisions. So karl Fitzpatrick has nothing to communicate yet.

I match you and raise with “silence is golden”.
