In the games that I did see, his line speed and defence was pretty good, offers abit more in attack than DeGois and Pritchard does. But In saying that, even though it's out of position for him, Fogarty would be my interchange Hooker come Round 1. With DeGois starting and King Been next in line in front of Kaysa.

  But that's my opinion, everyone is different.

  Scott, never said he was our best.

He was good when everything was flowing our way, as soon as we needed everyone to lift and come together, King asked for a substitution and left the field, followed by the failure Fogarty.

Kaysa and IDG still the top choices we have.

  I agree

Rubbish!!!! That's why we kept kaysa at home... he's our gun!!!

  If he's our gun we should upgrade to a gun with bullets, all our dummy Half options this season aren't up to scratch IMO.

  We will see Alan!!!

I think people are looking for something in King that might not be there. I still rate IDG as a very good rake who can do a similar job for us over the next year or 2 to what Ennis did at the Sharks. He is a defensive leader for us and is very fit.

  I'm not really no. Ennis' main attribute is as the ultimate competitor, he never tore sides apart with his dummy half running particularly late in his career. IDG is also a competitor and he has been a good hooker for a long time. As I said he is also important defensively and is one of the guys that dictates the line speed.
