Reckon it's more of a case that he isn't our player and it's all in Wire's hands what happens with King.
If the clubs are doing a deal behind the scenes then fair enough but if Wire want to wait till the end of the season to make a decision then we might have to pull the trigger before everyone suitable gets snapped up.

It’s been confirmed he’s going back to Warrington so we have to find a replacement.

It may not have been officially confirmed by the clubs but it’s widely reported by a number of people that he is going back to Warrington and the fact we’ve been looking at centres would back this up. There is probably no need to make an official announcement as this was always the original plan, he’s on loan here for the year and has a contract with Warrington next year so technically nothing has changed.
Personally I would like him to stay on but reports are he’s on a very handsome contract at Warrington and I certainly don’t think he warrants to be one of our top earners.

Logan Astley is fit again and has gone on loan to Featherstone for a month

I for one hope we keep King as he is a great addition to our team and doesnt really let us down with his attitude and desire to compete for us.

Do you see Logan as a half back?

From what I’ve seen mate yes. I know Wigan have tried him at full back for the reserves at times too.

Time will tell if he’s good enough but spending time at the best championship club will help.

A very good opportunity that for Astley.
I hope that he can grab it with both hands.

I fully agree, I think he could be a good partner for Smith. Moving him to fullback was probably a good idea as it will give him a better understanding/view of the game.
