I got shot down for this on the wire board, but I think King would make a very good second rower. He played there a couple of times for us and I thought he looked good. He is FAR too slow to be a top quality centre and he gets exposed a bit defensively. However, he makes good yards running the ball in hard and straight, plus he can get an offload away. His speed would also be perfectly acceptable for someone playing in the back row.

That's not a bad call. Might be worth a look when Thornley is available.

Wardle hasn't hit top form yet but neither has half of the team.

I'm confident over the whole season we'll be glad we have him rather than having Bibby or Thornley (for 2 games until he gets injured again).

When you say "every other time", could I ask how many times this is. Genuine question....

Probably about 4 max.

Price used to do the annoying thing of making 2/3 changes to cover one injury, and despite what jonh keeps saying, he played the majority of his time at left centre, but when playing back row, it was right sided.

Ieveryone remembers the first game where he did play well, so there's a heavy dose of confirmation bias going on

tbh with you, i dont really know what wardle's top form is, he wasnt someone i was overly enamoured with at huddersfield, he got talked about a lot, but i can't say i saw much, he was ok with us last year, but i wasn't that bothered about him not signing for us, save needing a body with what was going on with toby.

In that case your original "shoot down" post carries little merit, unless you consider 3 or 4 games dropped in ad hoc to be a representative sample.

Re: Wardle : Wed Mar 29, 2023 12:00 pm  
I tend to agree with Moe in that I always thought he'd make a decent(ish) second row - in that I thought he would be more useful there than at centre.

I think Mr King's problem is what is between the ears. He is a well known space cadet but RL players are not known for their intelligence, however I think he's not the brightest on the field as well.

I don't think he played well for you on Thursday as I don't think you should be judging centres on what metres they make - especially when he only made 10 when intercepting with a full field ahead of him - that was plodding even by his standards.

I used to defend King quite a bit and could see a player in there somewhere. Maybe Wigan can concentrate on his strengths of running into contact, offloading and high balls near the line. Bound to have a blinder against us.

it might be a small sample size, but if we say 4 games, a quarter of those he was good, and three quarters he was bloody terrible(see the first game with fans in v huddersfield in 2021 when kenny edwards tore him a new butt hole) i'd say that was a fairly good indicator, even on a small sample size.

Re: Wardle : Wed Mar 29, 2023 2:40 pm  
Suppose it all depends what you need from your centres. We do tend to use our outside backs to make ground for us, from our end of the field and he’s doing that extremely well. His defence has been fine in the main as well and his offloading game has added to us. What I do worry about is that the lad seems to play well when forced in to it (when his Wire contract was up and now that he’s in a bit of limbo) and if we did make it permanent, would he continue to do that graft for us? If you take that workrate from our end away, you’re not left with a great deal in fairness.
