Lost count how many times he's had a support runner who he's not passed to or would have finished his break or scored in a better position for a kick and gone on to loose by 4 or 2 points.

Absolute rubbish, was there a 100% guarantee that the winger wouldn't have dropped it been tackled etc. If we're clutching at straws we should not be in the position that a missed opportunity is classes as costing us a try. As pointed out he has most errors as he has been our go to player when things are tough or we're looking to score. King is not our make somtjing happen player

And how many games have we lost due to him bombing a chance, throwing it into touch, hogging the ball, not passing the ball, dropping off tackles & leaving his winger stranded?

The lad is goo yes but if you look at the picture as a whole. Whilst he has some very good positives and a decent highlight reel, his negatives overshadow them for me.

Poppycock...scores trys I.e Wembley gf countless league culminating in the lls..and you go about his negatives... Hard kid to please you are....if he's playing Saturday I suggest you go home cos we will get beat and it will be down to Atkins...

Lots of divided opinion on our Ryan. He scored many great tries through bullocking runs and sheer strength. I am not quite sure I remember him picking us up by our boot straps and dragging us over the line to win many games as some do, it could be my memory letting me down. He scored tries in many big games, including CC Finals and Grand Finals. But he also had his faults. None more so than charging out of the line on numerous occasions leaving gaping holes in the defensive line. Check out the second Wigan Try in the 2016 Grand Final.....One man came flying out of the line...Ladies and gentlemen I give you Mr Ryan Atkins.

The sainted Matt King did that, on NUMEROUS occasions, exposing Kevin Penny.

Can’t say I’m too disappointed, I understand he wouldn’t be first choice and offers versatility, but i’d rather see us look elsewhere. Ideally from the 19’s, but given the results there I doubt there are many pickings?

I see Joe Edge has signed for Widnes, thought he was one of our better 19’s players?

So where we at regarding D.Walker, it’s gone very quiet.
