Personally, I cannot see Kallum Watkins being signed by a top Super League club, let alone an NRL club.'"
Can’t see an NRL club but wouldn’t be surprised to see a top SL club sign him. Granted they shouldn’t do on current form but history is littered with clubs signing struggling players thinking/hoping they’ll get the best out of him.

Anything to say about your beloved Dragons’ abysmal showing in the Cup? Their/ there/ they’re performance cannot be set aside without your glowing report.

Not necessary. Stick to discussing the subject matter please.

The subject being a troll poster trying to bait an actual member of the board by being anal about the incorrect usage of a word when he should have been discussing the release of Watkins from Leeds? That subject matter?

| I hope his agent isn't trying to get him a gig using a 2019 highlight reel.

Oh, you have crawled out from your hiding place after 4 (four) days of hiding. Nothing to say about your beloved Crapalans getting a spanking, only a snipe about some posters spelling. You have sunk lower than a snakes belly.
As for Watkins, I expect to see him in a Toronto kit soon enough.

| So sad to see such a skillful player " loose it " , in Kallums case not sure it's his knee or from his previous problem/s a temporary depression this affecting his confidance. Leeds will always want a player at his maximum best, they have a history of moving players if they don't continue to deliver !
I feel for him as he comes across as an honest person. However, he may find it difficult to get another SL club & if so it will be no where near his current salary ! Good luck to the lad, he is after all a rugby league player.

| He will get a gig on a good wage and has probably already sorted it . Been a great player for Leeds and i for one can see him bouncing back to form once he gets settled at his new club

Almost certainly, doubt he agrees to end his contract without his agent putting some feelers out and knowing he’s got a few interested parties. Probably what’s happening with a few other Leeds players at the moment but perhaps they haven’t got the interest from elsewhere to end their deal at Leeds and move on.

| Quote: Fully "In terms of Super League
Wigan - very likely - replacement for Sarginson - most likely to have/use marquee spot for him particularly if Williams is off
Hull FC - likely - massive overhaul - looking to throw cash at players - may try and release a few players to get him in
Hull KR - possible - McGuire connection - maybe offer a bit more cash but wouldn't get marquee there
Castleford - possible - Daryl Powell connection/Hardaker effect/doesn't have to move far
Huddersfield - possible but think they're likely to be blown out the water
Warrington - i'd say unlikely with their cap situation but you never know
Catalans - unlikely - think living overseas may be too far
Saints - unlikely - think they've better centres at the mo
Wakefield - Very unlikely - don't think they could afford
Salford - Very unlikely - definitely can't afford'"
It’s nothing to do with Wakefield being able to afford him we could do that easily. But why would we pay over the odds for a player who on present form isn’t as good as the three we have? Now we also have Jack Croft who looks to be a SL centre in the making.
It’s not about how much you can afford but what you’re willing to pay and I can’t see many clubs coughing up what I suspect Watkins thinks he’s worth.
I’d pay him the same as Lyne or Arundel and I can’t see him going for that.

| Watkins was one of the few world class UK players in SL. I really admired him as a player & as a bloke & will be forever grateful he didn't go off to yawnion. To see him in his current form, & not being sure whether he will ever get back to his best, when he should be at his peak, is not enjoyable.

Bit harsh. Wasn't that long ago i would have liked him for us. I think this last injury has hindered his game big time.
