A SPECIAL night is in store for Toby King and his family.

For the first time at senior level, the Wire centre and brother George will be on opposite sides of the field with the latter having joined Wakefield Trinity for this season having spent six years at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.

As Toby explains, though, it will not be the first time they have pitted their wits against each other on the rugby field.

“I’ve played against him once – for the under 19s. He was still at Huddersfield after I’d come over to Warrington,” he said.

“I think he got penalised for sticking his elbow in my face.

“It kicked off a bit between us that day but it was all good after the game.

“It will be so weird playing against George having played with him here for so long from the academy right through.

We’ve played in finals together which we’ve been very lucky to do. It will be strange but I’m looking forward to it.

“There’s a lot of brotherly love between us but for that 80 minutes, we’ll hate each other.

“I’m trying to get all of the lads’ extra tickets so as many of the family can come as possible – the Kings will be turning up in numbers!

“I think my Dad will have his Wakey shirt on and Mum will have a Warrington shirt on just to split it down the middle.”

Warrington Guardian:

Outside of the brotherly battle, there is still a game to play as the younger King brother aims to help The Wire to a sixth win from seven Super League games.

The Mobile Rocket Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for Warrington of late – they have won on their past three visits to Trinity’s home patch – but the 22-year-old is under no illusions about how tough a place it can be for opposition sides.

With trips to Hull FC and St Helens also on the horizon, King acknowledges the next few weeks will be tricky for his side but he has called on them to be more ruthless when it comes to asserting their authority on games.

“Going away to these teams is going to be really tough.

“Wakey is always a tough away day. The fans are always very vocal and they get on your backs.

“It’s a run-down place and the dressing rooms are a bit hit-and-miss.

“It’s a tough place to go but victories there always feel good because you know you’ve had to work hard for it.

“We’ve got a tough few weeks coming up but we’re ready for it.

“We’ve still got a lot more to improve on but we’re happy with where we are at the minute.

“We were so disappointed with the Catalans game. Going over and dishing that performance up just wasn’t good enough.

“We’ve had back-to-back wins over Castleford and Wigan since then so we’re happy with where we’re going.

“You can’t write off anyone in the competition this year and Wakefield are in fine form. We can’t take our foot off the gas.

“We were 18-0 up against Wigan but we slacked off and let them back into the game. We’ve got to be more ruthless in games.”
