Such an odd sequence of events. Played with a dodgy pair of centres all year while an international we had on contract was on loan boosting a rival.
Let's just hope his head is back in it because the talent is clear to see.

Fell out with the ex coach and thus Powell didn’t want him. Now coach has gone he’s back and fresh start.

| Last year of his contract. Doubt we will offer him another one and his agent has probably already got him somewhere lined up for 2025. Can't see him pulling up many trees next season.

| I think a year at Wigan will have done him good, no Powell anymore and he's been used to higher standards. I'm looking forward to having him back and think Burgess will be happy to have him as well.

| Has he actually been that great for Wigan? He's gone just okay from what I've seen, but nowhere near as effective as he was before his LeBron James -esque pay day.
I really hope Burgess can get the best out of him.

An example in the wild of the Schrödinger's Wire recruit. Like for coaches, if they have never won anything they are an unproven gamble, but if they have won something their hunger has gone.

| I am sure our fans will be pleased that we are getting back a lad who came through our own academy rather than bringing in some Aussie who is overpaid, overrated and doesn't look like he's bothered playing for the jersey.

I thought him and his brother were signed from Huddersfield academy?

| Reading the comments on the Wigan forum, they seem disappointed that he's leaving. With big Sam at the helm, it's a new start for him so hopefully we see the best of him again, and to be fair he was descent pre-contract.

George King was a Huddersfield Academy player who signed for us in a player exchange deal when Toby was already playing in Warrington Academy.

Thanks. I wasn't suggesting they were signed at the same time, I just thought Toby was in the youth system of Huddersfield also.

Yes his immediate form for us before his extension in 2021 was good (funny that). Not worth the ludicrous contract, but decent as you say. He then fell off a cliff - the dog thing then the passport and out he went.
I don't rate him particularly highly as a Warrington centre and I've seen a few in Wire colours since 1979. He is not even the best centre at Wigan. I cannot believe we would offer him the same contract again - but with our board who knows.
However it is a new start and I must wish him luck. Any more of his prima donna and he can sit out his contract in Barrow.

| What type of Toby King will play for us?
The one who was poor defensively and a one trick 'high ball' pony of 2 years ago or the one who was a potential GB centre?
I have absolutely no idea - and I doubt anyone else does - even Toby.
I remain sceptical but hope it works out.
If it doesn't and he becomes a disruptive influence then get rid - or on loan to Kent Invicta or the like......

We've not got much choice as nobody else will even pay close to the ridiculous wages he's on. We are now wasting a marquee spot on a player who doesn't want to be here. Only at Warrington!!

| Looking at the Latrell Mitchell business at Souths, I doubt that Burgess will play King to 'justify his salary'. If King is smart he'll know that he has to toe the line. No leaving the bus journey early after a defeat, no victim mentality if things don't go well.

| My view is that King is a good solid centre. He's not world class. But he will be a big improvement on our two starting centres this year who have quite frankly been disappointing. Centre is certainly our biggest weak spot this year.

| The arguments for me are quite simple.
Is he better than what we have currently? Yes
Is he better than the majority that is out there at the moment? For me yes he is holding down a starting centre position for the team that for me is going to top the league, he has is failings but I don't see many better options. Currently I don't see Wrench, or Bruines ahead of him, maybe one day although I think Wrench is destined for the wing.
The whole marque argument is a non starter, the only slot he is taking up is the club fed slot, and what would you rather do reduce the impact of Walkers or Philbins wages.
It's easy for me take him back see out his contract if he plays great awesome if not he's not benefitting one or our direct rivals like he has this year.
