What the HELL is this Fiasco-You obviously are in agreement with the Nanny State - 'ex RL Player lets all weep' - I have loved Kingy as a Hull player for a long time but we move on - If he hasnt eaten well thats his problem. Paul is quite capable of moving on either to Wakie or getting a job sweeping up in a Factory. I am sure if he read your post he would laugh his socks off.

A relative bumped into him at a Market the other day. He asked Kingy if he would go to Rovers. Kingy said he utterly hates them but would still have signed for them if they'd made an offer.

I hope he does read it matey!! then he may realise what a mess he became!! thats been his issue for a long time no one has ever told him !!however at this time of day he wil be far too drunk by now to even read the Sun at the end of the bar!!

No-one pinned him down and forced drink down his throat. He had more chances at the club than was necessary. He had the makings of a world class prop but chose to pss his life and talent away. That's his choice and he has to live with it.

Feeling suicidal? Forget it!
Just ring Kathy Kirk at the SAMARITANS...

you know here personally????????? wow

Sad but true.

HUMBUG

Why? Explain what is wrong with my post.

good post

To get to the main point of this news, and not just descend into the slanging/defending match, good luck to him if he does get a deal at Wakey. It's quite possibly the best place for him and a good move for all parties. He perhaps needs a wake-up call and a change to reignite his career, we don't have a place in the team for him any more, Wakefield need a prop, and John Kear has a good record of giving players with a point to prove another chance and getting the best out of them. If he can at all turn his career back around, it's as good a destination as any to do so.

Hope he gets sorted and continues to play. Best of luck to him just such a shame to see a guy with talent for the game never really achieve his best due to his lifestyle.

But maybe change of scenery will rejuvinate him

Sad to see Kingy go, he bleeds black and white.

Good luck to him at Wakefield!

I'm more sad that his lack of application has made it necessary for us to release him. Could have been one of the best props of his generation. He seems like a nice guy, so I hope it works out for him, but it was undoubtedly the correct decision to let him go.

I think sentiment may have come into it the last time he was offered a contract and we've got nothing from him to justify it. Correct decision to let him go, i agree. I also agree that its a shame he could have been so good but then wasnt really.

All the best Paul.
Hope you do the biz.
Your 'faithful' pals at the seaside.

Hope all goes well Paul. Always welcome back at the KC.

I'm more upset with the loss of Kingy than Lee or Horne. Unlike the others, Kingy had talent and on his day the best prop at the club.

Such a shame to see his talent get poured down a urinal.

I will be watching his performances at Wakey with interest.

far too often,he played an average game.on a good day he was awesome,but on a bad day he looked slow and past his best,which happened more often than not.good luck to him at wakey tho'.not that bothered about tommy lee,but would have given graeme horne another year on reduced terms,as i think we could do with an extra body,in a couple of positions incase of injuries.graeme could play 2 or 3 positions,and i think he would have accepted lower terms.nathan brown at huddersfield is no mug,and realises that he is an excellent 'cheap' option.

be all and end all that was his problem, the days where few and far between.

When he was at his best, the fans loved him and his never say die running and the odd gem of an offload. If Dowes was half the prop, he'd be great.

Don't disagree with you, wasted talent which is a common theme for some hull players past and present. Got to wonder why.

Ask Mick Crane, Ian Bell, Rob Roberts, Michael Smith, Andy Bailey and others who lacked the application and maturity to be a great.

Paul Cooke, Tommy Lee, Glen Donkin, Jamie Bovill, blah blah blah could of gone on to better things.
