Warrington’s Australian centre Matt King says the club have come a long way under coach Tony Smith in two years.<\/b><\/p>\n

Smith has led them to two Challenge Cup wins and, after Sunday’s 82-6 victory over Harlequins, they top Super League. <\/p>\n

“The club’s moving in the right direction and you’ve got to give Tony Smith a lot of credit for that,” King told BBC Radio Merseyside. <\/p>\n

“But the way everyone performed against Harlequins goes to show how far we’ve come in the last couple of years.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Winger Brett Hodgson, 33, who joined Warrington from Huddersfield in the close season, scored 13 goals and a try against the Londoners at the weekend. <\/p>\n

King praised his fellow Australian, and said it was not just his play on the field that has been crucial this season.<\/p>\n

“The old stager, Brett Hodgson, just keeps getting better and better,” King continued. “He’s like a fine red wine and he’s fitting into our team perfectly. <\/p>\n

“He has such a calming influence on us. Young Richie Myler has benefited the most and Brett’s taught Richie how to become a calm player and play with his eyes.” <\/p>\n

King has been out of action since the opening day defeat to Huddersfield at the Millennium Stadium with a knee injury, but says he is not far from a comeback. <\/p>\n

He added: “I’m still four or five weeks away and I’ve got my sights set on one of the games over Easter.”\n<\/p>\n
