I know none of you are rate Ratch or PM that high but just to illustrate King has been good.
Yes I don’t think any of us think Mata’utia or Ratchford will be our centres next year,, so not really comparing apples with apples.
King will always make decent metres, always had an offload in him but was never the most skilful or with any great pace.
He’s a decent SL centre, but we made the mistake of paying him as if he was the best centre in the comp and seemingly Powell wasn’t too pleased with his attitude.
I guess from our side we’ll look to get the best return for him we can, hopefully therefore he continues to have a good year and some other interested parties could help him come off our books in the most favourable way for us.
