Wolves star confident of double delight
Warrington ace Matt King has set his sights on completing a first Super League double over St Helens on Friday night.
Wolves finally broke their away hoodoo against their arch rivals in the third match of the season, with the table-toppers the favourites to secure victory again in front of the
Sky Sports cameras.
However having suffered a shock home defeat to lowly Salford, King admits the Wolves will be taking nothing for granted.
"You'd have to take some confidence out of what we've done in the first half of the year," he said.
"But there's a difference between being confident and being cocky and I think we've found that difference.
"We've got a pretty good boss who's keeping our feet on the ground, we're not getting ahead of ourselves.
"To get that monkey off our back was good. I didn't actually play in that game - I was out with my knee - so I still haven't beaten Saints.
"It would be nice to do the double and put that terrible run to bed once and for all."
Decision
Former Melbourne Storm star King is currently weighing up whether to take up the option of a contract extension at the Wolves, however he also has offers to return home.
And the 30-year-old admits he is tempted to stay with Super League's boom club.
"Australia will always be home but we're very comfortable here," he said. "We've started a family here and Kirsten has a job she can go back to whenever she wants.
"To think that we can bring Charlie up closer to our families is nice but our families are always going to be there and I think if I do decide to stay, everyone will be patient and just wait for us to come home in a couple of years if it pans out that way.
"It's coming to that point where I need to make a decision pretty soon. Hopefully in the next two to three weeks, everything should be sorted, one way or the other."
Warrington coach Tony Smith, though, has insisted he needs a decision soon as he juggles with the club's overseas quota restrictions.
"He's knows we need an answer soon if we are going to have to look for a replacement and the longer he waits on that the harder it makes it for us to replace him," he said.
"We'd love to have him stay - he plays a big part for us on and off the field - but, if he decides to go back to Australia, I'll thank him for all he's done for us and support him."
