says it all....

He will confirm it today, $600,000 a season, wouldnt you??

It's no surprise really and i was pretty much expecting him to go. While i'd love him to stay you can't really expect a bloke to stay for around half the money he can get overseas. If there's any good thing to come out of it for the Storm it's that it'll free up the money we'd have been paying him next year and whatever it would've cost us to keep him beyond that. I know they're trying to tie up Izzy for the long term so maybe this money will help do that.

How do the Storm do it? They lose Bell, and Inglis pops up, the year they lose King, Folou pops up.

Great depth through their recruitment and feeder clubs.

Dont forget we lost Orford and Cronk pops up, we lose Swain, Robbie Ross and look who steps in

goodluck to kingy if he goes, he always said he would never be able to play against the storm.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

If they are giving him 600K what would they offer Thurston? The mind boggles.

 

[Cranky]

You could tell that Kingy had made up his mind to leave in the way he has played in the last couple of games. He has really been busting his arse out there making great tackles and damaging runs.

He'll leave nothing out there this year.....

Good luck to him in England. Will Chambers to take his spot in 08?

 

[Leek UK]

Wigan or bradford ? i wonder :?

 

[osg]

Jesus, 600k for King? He's barely worth half that IMHO.

 

[fourplay]

lol they got ripped off.

 

[Stan's Number 1 Fan!!!]

He's not on anything near that.

 

[Charlie124]

I hope his mates arent expecting hand shakes when he leaves

:lol: sour grapes ha ha ha h ah

 

[Charlie124]

sour grapes? how do you figure? ill be glad to see the back of the merkin. Acts like a spoilt brat on and off the field, he might be a loss to the Storm (short term) but thats also no skin off my nose.

Why? If a team like the Tits lost someone like King it'd hit them very hard with their obvious lack of depth. But as always the Storm will have and do have someone to fill the void so if he does go it won't be as much of a loss as some seem to think. I say and pretty much every other Storm supporter i've heard/read says good luck to him if he heads OS and he goes with our blessing. Besides, I'd be more worried about my own team if i were you knackers ;-)
