let the stewart rumours commence!

Isn't Stewart just band for a handful of games?

at the moment.

it will all depend on if he gets charged and the result of that.

4, which takes him up until his court appearance. Depends how all that turns out I suppose, doesn't it?

Let's face it, Matt King isn't fit to lace Graeme Horne's boots.

and on £250k a year less!!!

If the rumours are true

Matt King on £500k

Thats my point!!

1) Breaks and tackle busts are different things

2) He hasn't exactly offloaded much more than King has he

But were comparing a test international to graeme horne - and horne is performing much better than King

I think he is a much better player than G.Horne, he just hasn't shown it at Wire. Even Andrew Johns managed to fail at Wire! I think that he would be worth signing if he wasn't on a monster contract. I think that with Briscoe looking as if he is going to be a very good winger, and Hall looking like he is going to nail the fullback spot once Tony goes (if Tony goes) it leaves a hole at centre which I don't think G.Horne is the player to fill long term. If King was on a fair wage, on a two year deal, I think he would be worth a gamble

For a snippet of the price, dont even know why King has been brought up on this thread. He is another over inflated ego playing for over inflated wages at another over inflated club!!

But you are talking to someone who doesn't rate G.Hornes performances, and also doesn't base his whole opinion of a player on a season and a few games of another. King has failed at Wire but its not as if he has been playing terrible for year after year is it? He was very good down under and would be worth a gamble imo, if he didnt cost too much

So why isn't he showing it then?

Agree about G.Horne but King is a winger and made his name as a winger.

Nail on the head, he hasnt put a performance in at centre since signing for Wire. Its all good and well being a good winger in Oz when you feed on a cross kick to use your height and score but i dont think he is suited to the British game or the centre shirt.

While it wouldn't make me think differently really, didn't he play centre at Melbourne in the end?

And he does rude hand jesters to the fans

His best performances have always come on the wing, he just does not look like turnig the corner form wise and imo we have better options than Matt King and if we were to sign a centre from down under I would want better than him. Maybe he just won't make it in SL, not every overseas signing does.

There could be a millions different reasons why players don't settle and play well for clubs. Danny Tickle was crap in his last season for Wigan. We signed him and he ended up taking a lot of the awards by the end of the season. Raynor, Carvell, Thackray and Dowes weren't good enough for Leeds, Thorman let go by Huddersfield, Calderwood let go by Wigan, we have signed many players discarded by clubs and they havent done too badly

But its harsh to just judge him one one full season and the start of another one, and not take his full career into account. If he had been poor for a few years then fair enough

Yes I agree but we are talking about signing him right now, imo he has not proved himself over here and I would not want to take the risk with him.

I only ever really saw him as a winger but this unreliable site reckons that was out of position and he started as a centre etc

Still surprised we have not signed Washbrook yet.
