Quality performance by that merkin tonight.
Now that's work rate merkin!!!

49 tackles, quality kicking and impressive service over 80 minutes. Only one game but that's a better performance than Kaysa has ever delivered over 80 minutes. Only a handful of games in the top grade in a long time as well. Will improve as he gets used to 1st grade again.

I'm sold. He's our first choice hooker as far as I'm concerned next year.

King played extremely well and I have always rated him (even before he came to us).

I personally think Kaysa is our long term 9 but King is a superb back up.

No I don't hate Kaysa at all. I thought he started to play pretty well before he got injured and if you care to go through my 3, 2, 1s you'll see he featured a couple of times. However, King is so much better at getting our forwards onto a roll on and offers an extra kicking option which is so important.

But cheers for contributing.

King is comfortably the better attacker. Loving his work. Kaysa is the better defender but gets run over a lot as he tires.

Together they make one decent NRL quality hooker and given the tripe that's available I say re-sign King and go the one-two hooker rotation next year.

Neither player should be playing 80 minutes. It certainly wasn't a fast game tonight, and we won possession yet again, which helps King.

Kritchard's games against the Warriors, Tigers and Panthers earlier this year were at least as good as King's tonight. And in attack he has plenty of better games than King.
Only a handful of games in the top grade in a long time as well. Will improve as he gets used to 1st grade again.

Maybe. Let's see what Arthur's does next year hey?

KPritchard hasn't played a single good 80min game, imo.

King should be our number one 2018 hooker, Kaysa the backup - and bench option against small placks

Next year I would be running with King starting and Kaysa off the bench. Imagine what he can bring nowadays if he knows he can go all out for 30 minutes.
With f**k all on the market I reckon that's our best option for next season.

Maybe by 2019 there is a better option in the Juniors ready to go and we can always go to market if we have too.

King is showing he can play 80 minutes. With his kicking game and better service from dummy half, he may be the first choice next year. Not sure BA will persist with 2 hookers in the 17.

Will Smith as another back up option?
