Possibly mate but Holbrook might give him a chance at Titans.
Only time will tell.

Yes he looked awful in SL, no chance of ripping up the NRL from where he was. He does need a full pre season for sure and to get his sharpness back and as you say bulk up. With Holbrook joining that should help him a bit. Good luck to him

| Wish him so much luck but the odds aren't in his favour I'm afraid.
Looked a shadow of himself at Leeds early season and nowhere near SL mid table standard so to go to the NRL mid season and make any kind of positive impact on one of the lesser teams was always a tough ask.
Can see him at a lower level SL club at the end of next season and then, sadly, a downward spiral from there.
Hate to see it but the knee injury has done him.

| Hardaker had the same problem in coming here when he was playing badly in a poop Leeds team.
Watkins' technique was horrible yesterday - he needs to understand he's not the big centre in the NRL he was in SL and bend his back when tackling.

Kallum's problems are more mental than physical I think. SOmething McD stated a year or so back, when he was happy with Kallum's mental state. Until he gets that confidence back he will not be back to his physical best. In the pressure pot of the NRL that is going to be harder to attain.

I still think he can get back but he needs to clear his head and get a strong pre season in. I assume he won't be playing in the test series so he should get an extended period to train and prepare for next year and with a new coach coming in clean slate.
I tend to agree with others that the likely scenario is back to SL sometime next year but at this point he really has nothing to lose and everything to gain with a huge incentive to put 6 months of graft in which i'm sure he will. We need him back close to his best.Centre is not a position the national side has tons of depth and quality in and the 2021 WC will surely be on his radar.

| With Aus training facilities, weather etc. he has the best chance of achieving full fitness again where he is.
He looked shot to me this year, sadly, but it could well be that his injury needed another year to recover from. It's been painful watching him try to reach a top pace he no longer has.

| Maybe he should quit a go and do something else. Nothing to prove. If he's unhappy in the game he needs to be out of it. It's a long life yet.

| Watkins hasn’t been fully fit all year, hopefully after a long off season and then pre season he will be back to somewhere near his best

I dunno, it may be that the top gear has just gone. As with McGuire.
