Stephen King. What's that smell?? Smells fishy, smells like bait. Trade bait. I know he has been a great servant of the club but I can not see him finding a spot back in our 22, even if either Ottens or Blake went down.
He's still got more to offer before retirement however and I suspect a few teams may have a spot in their best 22 for him.
Which teams need a ruckman and of those teams, do they have any players we need/could use?
Are there any trade possibilities including first/second round draft picks, keeping salary caps in mind?

A fit and healthy King has a spot in the team and Blake and Ottens will spend some time injured at some point. Plus I think it sends the wrong signal to be looking to trade a former captain.
Anyway, too injury prone, I doubt we'd get much for him in his current state.

So you'd have one ruckman?

If he's got more to offer retirement then why woulod we trade him. It's not like we have ruckmen lined up ready to play... Apart from West who else is there? What if Blake and Ottens went down?

It annoys me that he was injured early last year and was played for short ineffective periods (I won't call them bursts because they weren't) - poor decision on B's part (not mentioning the coach this year!). We need him and we need him fit - who would take him at his age and prone to injury? And West is too young.
