Unless he's injured himself in the last day or two it can't be that bad as he was named on Tuesday.

I reckon King was always playing. Disregarding his versatility, how could he be 18th man for the last two months and not get the call up this week.

Billy has been very good for us particularly defensively in shutting down dangerous opportunities with his defensive reads - we will miss him today. I really hope it’s just a niggle . Plays tough and hard it’s a bit disappointing that some posters are so quick to dismiss him after all he’s been through. Has anyone heard anymore than just a knee injury?

like getting your tenth cup of coffee for free, king converted his tenth naming as 18th man into a top 17 spot

He’s expected back next week so can’t be too serious.

I hope that’s right 13 - last year though it seemed to be he’s back next week all season - they kept a more serious injury under their hats - I hope it’s not that.
