Kingston

[Sharkie73]

Well what can I say this kid just gets better and better. he should have been in the side 2 months ago. IMO he looks to be a 80min player and should be, his defence in first rate, he give great service from dummy half and picks the right time to run the ball as well. There is an obvious difference in both our defence and attack when he's off.... It drops off.
IMO Sully has to go he offers nothing now and is taking up a space on the bench.

Yep. Unlike that imposter Sullivan, Kingston has a good nose for finding a gap through the ruck. I don't have the stats to back it up (perhaps one of our more enthusiastic members will check it out though) but I thought that our collapse seemed to coincide with Kingston coming off.

Was well deserved in receiving the coaches award too.

I would love to be able to see what the tackle count is for noddy and dykes when Kingston is on and when he is off. Same with the rest of the front row.

Do noddy and addo have to clean up for the markers and this increases there tackle (and MT) count? And if so, who are the offenders? (I believe it is sully and hutch and to a lesser degree loo loo).

Kinga must play 80 minutes.

 

[Sharkie73]

Kingston makes such a huge difference when he is on it was so obviouse last night to everyone that watched the game. He has to play 80min.

 

[White Poiner]

Yep, kinga is a shining light in our sh*t end of the season. He is a keeper.

This may have been posted elsewhere, but have Kingston and Ciraldo been re-signed?

absolutely correct Dread.

 

[Macca]

Kinga is my new favourite player. Bye Peach.

I thought exactly the same thing.

With him playing 80 mins it would give the forwards better rotation as well.

 

[The Nulla]

It sure did Dread. As I have said time and time again, Sully is too eratic and destroys any kind of structure or plays that we are working towards as he proved when he sent a nothing kick into the arms of a bunny in the dying stages ON THE FOURTH when we had some momentum.

He cannot be picked next week. He offers nothing. He is only slightly good when we are dominating and he can exploit tired defence. Laters Sully.

Yep, both re-signed. Kingston re-signed for 2 years, not sure about Ciraldo.

At the end of the game both Kingston and Sullivan were on the field at the same time. Does anybody know where Kingston was playing? It seemed most probable that he would have been in at lock, but IMO, we needed Kingston's service at that end of the game.

 

[chili pepper]

as ima said our compitulation corresponded with Kinga leaving the field for sully

i was impressed with him last night - the sole highlight in a poor display

Gallens dropped ball was partly due to a shyt pass from sully i'm fairly certain

 

[Frenzy.]

Nope

My mail is that Ciraldo agreed to terms provisionally but DID NOT re sign yet. He's still looking at the 'Dogs offer and as such was not selected for the Souths game.

i spoke to Kinga late last night (no $sh*t very early sunday morning) meet his parents at the club. lovely couple.

he just signed a two year deal. unless i was mistaken!!

he is happy. and loves the sharks. the ticks everything in my book. top bloke. and he continues to impress me

 

[Dread]

Without a doubt one of the few positives to emerge from the back half of the season. Kingston is a real hooker, unlike the makeshift patchwork jobs we've been putting up with.

Please, no more Hilders or Sullivans in the 9, ever.

 

[gavin_miller]

The most obvious thing for me is that he looks so natural, so at home in his doing his work.Most of our blokes have looked so awkward when attacking and defending, Kingston looks a natural...if that makes sense? Reminds me of Treister...in other words an old fashioned dummyhalf/hooker.

 

[Bluebag]

It is great to see that people are now saying these things about the King, we have realised his ability since last year and were excited about him playing at Newtown, he does make a difference. How ironic that a player unwanted 12 montsh ago and as recently as his debut is now seen as a key player in next years team.

A champion on and off the field and we all wish him the best for the future. Perhaps players who are outside the selection favourites need to be looked at with an open mind more often.

some of us have been saying positives on here for a while now.

 

[Isurus]

Kingston looks to be the real deal - Sullivan showed ability last season, but is playing like a uselss hack. Kingston must play 80 minutes next week!!

totally agree, as much as sully is a nice bloke, he seemed to have some brain explosions and tried too hard on sat night.


Kinga is a gunn. and is going to be a geniune asset for our club, because he is focussed on what he wants. he has passion for our club, something that you don't let go. FIRE UP KINGA!
