Contract negotiations of a different kind are on the minds of retired Kangaroos stalwarts Anthony Stevens and David King.

King is in the frame for off-field positions at the Kangaroos and at Richmond, although in two different fields.

Officials at Arden Street have spoken to the 241-game club legend about a role in the marketing department, where he could put his well-documented love of a chat to good use.

"One of the things that he's been best at for us is representing the club to supporters and sponsors," Kangaroos football operations manager Tim Harrington said.

"He's very media savvy, presents himself well, mixes with all types, so we'd like to continue that if possible."

The Tigers have King in mind for a coaching job, with football director Greg Miller confirming that King had met new Richmond supremo Terry Wallace.

"We've shown interest in him, we've had a preliminary discussion and that's about all it is at this stage. It wouldn't be for a while because there are other pressing things. There are other blokes we want to talk to as well," Miller said.

Maybe with Otto leaving we now can afford another assistant in some capacity for Terry. At the moment it's Wallace, assistant Royal and Armstrong as assistant/football manager.


Granted MT. But surely we could do better then King. It dosnt' inspire me that we would be looking at king despite his good service to the roo's.

If Ottens leaving frees up some cash i hope they are casting the net a little wider.

I wonder if terry and knighter have sat down at the table and shared a peace pipe. :D

Knighter is touted to coach the Tigers next year but it's of the Glenelg variety.

After burning some bridges at port i thought he might have comeback east.

It would be good to see him get a gig at Glenelg as i have a soft spot for them. :)
 
I would welcome someone like King on board. We need people who are 'in you face'; are arrogant and know what it takes to win. King wins on all 3 points!

We need such people to help us accelerate the 'DeFrawley' process!
 
Personally I'd prefer a true midfielder who is fresh out of the game on the coaching panel, the likes of Cresswell and Ratten have done very well at other clubs.
