Josh King extends contract with the Knights

I don't know why people are obsessing over this.
Every young forward basically goes through the same process of getting used to the pace of firstgrade.
Some do it a bit quicker, some do it a bit slower, but they all need a while to get up to pace.
Even Dan Saifiti, who is a natural born firstgrader, took half a season or more to get up to pace.
If people are going to be impressed every time a 21 year old takes 20 games to get up to speed in firstgrade, you are going to be impressed a lot, because that is pretty much the norm.

Id think being the guy to jump at people for not backing our locals would be happy that most people are proud of Kings coming of age :shrug:

Fyi not many guys take 20 games or lees to start showing they have it.
Pauli is at 50 and still hasnt shown much.
Stockwell is around 50 and has done stuff all.
Mataora had 70 games and was still average.
Besides Dan u will be hard pressed to name 3 other props under 22yrs old that showed they had it at 20 games.
Zane Musgrove is one though.

You say Dan is a natural born first grader and yet before both hit first grade you were saying Jacob was the better of the 2.

It's easy to say things in hindsight.

Josh's improvement over the last month has been very good and surprising to be honest. Didn't think he had it in him nd was destined for a career in reserves.

Reagan Campbell-Gillard as well but that's about it
 
Bennett is looking to poach Josh King after losing Hermen and Moga to us. Wouldn't be the greatest loss if it were to happen but apparently we're already trying to lock him up long term.
