Wigan Warriors • King

I think it's a lot simpler than all the rumour-mongers are making out... King had a bit of an attitude and inertia to change after getting into a comfort zone at Warrington. Powell sent him out to a different environment to freshen him up and see how he matures in new scenery. If he develops into the style of player Powell is after then I'm sure he'll be back at Warrington. If he doesn't (irrespective of attitude) he'll probably continue to develop into the 'Steve Price-style' centre as a big and strong runner with an offload game, in which case I'd guess he'll be shipped on to whichever club pays him the most and offers the longest contract. My guess would be Huddersfield in that case, being a local lad and all.

I think far too much is being made of the King-Powell 'never the twain shall meet' rumours.
