Quote: ThePrinter "Exactly, considering people like to call ourselves “the rugby league family” and express sadness and well wishes when players suffer those type of serious knee injuries (note reactions to the likes of Manfredi and Johnstone earlier this year) and hope they recover fully from it then it’s been quite interesting (poor/hypocritical more apt) to see the mocking many have given to Watkins on his struggles to recover from his serious injury.'"
You never stop stirring the pot do you. Watkins has received in general a similar amount of sympathy too the two players you mention. That said there is one crucial difference that you've missed in your latest attempt to be outraged on behalf of the Rhinos. Manfredi and Johnstone are both youngish players who are yet to hit their true potential, Watkins has had a brilliant career that has unfortunately ended in a way that he'd rather it hadn't but he still has a sack full of medals and a full career behind him so lets not get too precious.
Surely even you can see the difference and thus its obvious why the two you mention probably got a tad more sympathy
You need to take another break you really do.
