Manly prop Jason King has fired in a protest to the NSWRL protesting at his treatment whilst in Lismore preparing for Friday night's City vs Country Origin game.
In a statement released to the media by his manager, King's protest at the parlous conditions of the City side's accommodation read:
"It is most disconcerting to arrive at a camp and find that we're expected to share a bedroom with a farting, snoring behemoth like Jason Stevens."
"Imagine my horror when I also found out that team management had also failed to find the required 15 mattresses needed for my ongoing comfort and that some prankster had placed three frozen peas under the single mattress I was given."
"In normal circumstances, under 15 mattresses, the three peas would be enough to warrant a week on the sidelines. However, with only one mattress for comfort I find that my vertebrae have been grievously displaced and I find it necessary to withdraw from Friday's game as well as Manly's next 6 competition matches."
"I'm sure my team mates will understand that my comfort and ongoing health needs to be a priority if I'm to realise the ambitions held for me by Manly fans. I'm sure Kite and Heckenberg won't mind playing on with a broken shoulder and ruined knee respectively to cover my unfortunate absence."
