Just heard on the Big Sports Breakfast here in Sydney, King is going to England on a massive $600,000 deal. He will officially announce it today.
For which club i am not sure.

Thats a big loss for us but in saying that we havent gone backwards with all our losses over the last few seasons. I guess Chambers will be the man to step in.

I'd still wait for it to be confirmed.  Just had on espn that he is weighing up a 4 year mult-million dollar deal with one of 5 clubs apparently chasing him in the UK, but he is expected to make an announcement monday week. 
I wouldn't be surprised, but still think we should wait for confirmation

Good luck to Kingy if he's headed to the Superleague.
A big chance for Chambers, Shortland or even Sika Manu to takeover the No. 3 Jersey.

I'd say Chambers is the man most likely - can't really see Sika in the centres

Is 600K too much for us to pay for King?  Just slap him the cash and he'll stay.

Same, & it says that Bradford & Wigan are the frontrunners. It must be a very tough decision for him. I too hope Kingy will stay, but if he doesn't, I can respect that...

His contract has a year to run,so it would be whether to activate the none NRL club 'get out' clause or wait till his Storm contract expires.

600k ain't a lot of money for a league players, just hit him with the dough.

Apparently he's waiting to announce his decision till after the Origin and Rabbits game. He thought if he announced he was leaving for the ESL he wouldnt have been picked for NSW.
