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?

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

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 poop and he can sit out his contract in Barrow.

Re: King back - official : Thu Sep 14, 2023 9:19 pm  
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......

Should not bring back a player who by all accounts has stated his wish to remain at Wigan
