Yep, that was on the rumour file this morning. Steven King will be named in the ruck or on the bench.
but doubt it. why would you play king instead of Mcevoy. i can see playing Stanley instead of mcevoy but not king.
rumour File - King to ruck

Mickey Mouse is also tipped to play on the back flank.

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch.

"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

How long since King has played? I know he provides leadership, experience, a tough body etc, but Ben has gone past him as a footballer IMO.
king may be an injury risk as iirc he had a bad hamstring this season.
I'd play ben, but ross knows best,

As I said on the open training thread, his body language appeared weird, not like someone who realised he was a chance to play in a GF anyway.Spinner wrote:Yep herd this last night.. I believe there is a thread on nicks bb that my source created...
Their source was Ben mcevoys cousin...
Apparently Ben had already been told and the family isn't happy.
Take of that what u will...
It wouldn't surprise me if Ben didn't play, it would surprise me if King did...

Absolute joke - and if true the saints should be investigated for throwing the game......
I read the article on King poss playing in the HUN online. Talk about a story coming from no where. They asked Blake whether King was a chance and all he really said was that everyone is a chance and you never know. Greg Hutchison said much the same thing - next thing you know you have the headlines trumpeting 'King still a chance!'

Wouldn't think so. But, all is fair in love, war and premierships!!!Mr Magic wrote:Are you allowed to coach (even assistant coach) if you're serving a suspension as a player?
If so, I can think of a reason as to why he might play.
Wouldn't surprise me if King did play, wouldn't surprise me if he didn't.
As Sainterk mentioned, he did seem to be 'up and about' at training this week.

Whatever happens at the selection table, it is all about the team winning the premiership, not pleasing individuals. I suspect King is being looked at purely for the purpose of wearing Jolly down in contests as early as possible then the idea would be to alternate the Kosi and Blake in the ruck later in the game. Big Ben hasn't quite got the tough old body and the bulk to do the job on Jolly yet, but he is the future and will get his chance...I hope he gets selected though!
