Not sure how to view this news?
We need a centre and obviously he is one, and he isn`t a Quota player, which is a plus. But there is baggage associated with his return (If it happens).
There is no doubt that he was one of the players who wouldn`t accept Powell`s new broom approach last year, and that is why we moved him to Huddersfield initially, and then Wigan for this season.
There is also the issue of Salary Cap management, and King requiring to be paid the deal that Wire agreed with his agent.
It looks to me that Hiku choosing to sign for Hull KR, has upset our centre recruitment plan, but surely there must be other players available from the NRL.
I would prefer that King was loaned-out again for 2024. There will be other clubs other than Wigan willing to take him.
We should then be able to sign another centre for next season.
Ratchford has another year of his contract left for next season btw.
I think 2 points to make is if the story going around surrounding Dupree to Wigan I think that is going to be a big deal and therefore Wigan won’t want to take on King’s salary.
2nd given the contract he is on now who realistically would or could take it on.
But yeh probably the Hiku situation messed plans up a fair bit
