I don't know what he has fully heard, but I would guess that there is a player swap deal to announce as part of this announcement also. And a damn good player to come in, if not the same position.

We may have different definitions of 'shock'. TBH I don't see a story of Watkins, or Hardaker, or McDermott leaving Leeds as being genuinely 'shocking to the whole of SL'

The only two things that would qualify as that would be signing Hayne or GH quitting, both of which are approximately 0.0001% chances of happening.

Cool.

Not sure why a player swop would be a shock to the whole SL. But I call with Watkins for Bateman

My guess is McDermott going and Wayne Bennett coming in, to combine with the England Role.

The only same position swap that would be a shock would be Hardaker & Tomkins. Anything else wouldn't really be a shock to the whole of SL unless I'm underselling Widnes and HKR fans interest in who sign/sell.

NOT the same position, is what I was saying, not sure how it read.

As Watkins is doing a very good impression of the way Chev Walker played after it was announced he was off to Bath I'm guessing our star 3 is heading my way and Eastmond is coming back to league.
But frankly that's a guess and it's just for a bit of fun so don't start having a pop. Just laugh.

Any club daft enough to swap one of their best players in exchange for Falloon would be a shock.

Let's f@cking hope this is something to do with the coaching (lack of) we've had all year, I'm still confident that under fresh guidance we can challenge for honours again with these players.

Stevo "isn't" retiring?

Eddie Hemmings' wig is the new controller of referees?

Shaun Wane's DNA isn't human?

Leeds are so far under the cap that the RFL is giving us 6 points?

Ian Kirke's compromising photos of Leeds CEO (that he lent to Mitch Achurch) guaranteeing him a place in the team will finally be posted on Instagram?

Serial Miscreant Zak Hardaker ate a hamster (and then had the tattoo of it done on his left butt cheek)?

Brett Delaney is fully fit? Nah, that's too far fetched.

On a serious note, please just say what you've heard, rather hear it and be wrong that be kept waiting around.... This is the whole point of a forum!

Watkins to NFL

It seems to be a game on here....so many 'in the know' but unable to actually spell anyhing out.

I can hear it now, "FUMBLE!!!!!!!".
