I would like to see King provide good service from dummy half, get through the game without any injuries and take any opportunity that presents itself. If he does just that he will have played well.

Oh, and I reckon he will score a try on club debut.
so u want him to play hooker then? ;)

Just for once I'd love to be able to watch us play where we blitz the other team in the first 60 minutes, have a lead of 36 and then keep the other mob out for the last quarter.... Can't remember the last time an Eels team did that... It's probably happened more recently than I think but it feels like maybe back in 09...or 1980-something...
Didn't we do that to the Raiders at home last year? But I hear ya...we are champions at creating a grandstand finish. A close game is not always a good game.

Against Manly early one season. He was on fire in attack and only missed 263 tackles and dropped the ball 96 times. For Benny it was a stellar performance

I think you've missed the point. Actually I feel like you've missed rather a lot of things in your life so far. Starting with an education, or a mother's love

oh pau, one game? playing hooker? u don't know league at all do you. I feel bad for u. when he not played first grade for a couple years.

u know he had an interrupted nrl career with injury so not got much chance at consistent footy ....right?
So you agree that whether he has a blinder or a shocker on Thursday it won't mean a lot in the context of his career?

He got man-of-the-match once when he destroyed the Broncos too. That was the game that put him on the map.

Anyway he was top 17 for the Storm after he left us, so he wasn't that shit. He just needed to play a very specific role that didn't involve too much passing or kicking. Or tackling.

Yeah, good call.

Goes to show how much water has flowed under the bridge since then and how that game seems like an age ago. Not long after that we lost our Points, Paulo, Peats, Pride and just about anything else you can think of starting with the letter p

I don't think we lost our pride. In fact I think we gained more pride. Our team was decimated with injuries, suspensions and losing players mid-season yet the players turned up each week and put in a competitive effort.
