Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "I'd heard on the jungle drums that he'd done his knee again, similar to currie when he came last year, its just not right.
I was amazed he was playing at the start of this year to be honest.'"
Yeah he was rushed back at least a month or so earlier than most ACL returnees and was dropped/rested several games into the season as he was still experiencing pain in his knee. Can’t imagine that’s been solved with the 2 games he had off but Hurrell being injured has meant Watkins has stayed in the team otherwise he’d have lost his place to young Newman....or forced into the 2nd row which he really isn’t suited to.
Any club interested in signing him should be looking at doing a good medical on his knee and that could be a big stumbling block.
Could see Toronto going for him as a big signing even with the fitness risk and has the McDermott connection who was the guy who made him captain at Leeds.
