Cameron King BA's choice?

STANDING BY THE SQUADJune 21, 2017 6:00amNathan Ryan@nath_ryanSource: FOX SPORTSParramatta coach Brad Arthur has ruled out going to market for a hooker to replace Kaysa Pritchard this season.Pritchard suffered a devastating knee injury which has ended his year and left the club’s stocks low, as Isaac De Gois is sidelined indefinitely due to the ongoing effects of concussion.The Eels have recently been linked with Penrith No.9 Mitch Rein and Canberra bench rake Adam Clydesdale but despite speculation the Eels will hit the market before the June 30 transfer deadline, Arthur said they’d finish the year with what they’ve got in their system.“We’re going to give Cameron King a go,” Arthur told Market Watch.“He’s been with us for 18 months and deserves a chance. It may not be next week but more than likely.”

  • King is going to kill it. Has some good attacking skills. Good luck to him.
    • Why has he been stuck behind KP and Will Smith? Is it a defensive issue? 

    • Kays had the runs on the board. Will Smith can play many positions from the bench
    • Auva'a still out due to inj
    • Told you chief always on the money ;)
  • A lot of people here want to see Cameron King have a go, im interested to see how he goes. 

  • Our hooker doesnt have to do much... Lead the defense and pass to either Moses or Norman...

  • I'm actually surprised BA has waited this long to give him a crack. I believe they should keep Will Smith on the bench and he can interchange with King as well as cover for any injuries, which the squad seem susceptible to this year 

  • Can King kick?
    • Yep
