Quote: Shifty Cat "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  That aside, he's;
A) Finished at a decent level from what I've seen this season.
B) Wouldn't be asking for peanuts.
So basically you're looking for a club with money who isn't d about getting value for money. If he gets a gig at all I'd put my hat on Toronto.

| Quote: Or thane "I genuinely don't think we could afford him but i could be wrong. Widdop will take up the second Marquee spot so if Watkins will only move for a marquee wage i doubt we could fit his wage in the salary cap. But as Luther Burrell won't count on the cap next season aswell as this year, we could possibly use Goodwin and Atkins wage on him?'"
He could always get his wife/partner to work in the club shop, it used to be really well paid 
I dont think that counts on the cap  |

He was excellent in the back row yesterday, it could well be his best position from here on in.

They have and its been discussed in the media a lot.

Why are Leeds letting him go mid season when they are in a relegation fight?

Two possible reasons.
1. To immediately free up cap space for a major signing most likely a half back.
2. He is so far off the pace this season, and looks a shadow of the player he was, and simply will not be overly be missed |

The first reason is the only one that makes sense in terms of early release. Being currently hopelessly out of sorts just means he's in the same boat as most of our squad. Doesn't stop a whole bunch of players getting picked.

Sensible from Leeds - he’s been abject and they can bring in someone to strengthen the squad, which is badly needed. Question is whether they will recruit poorly again and waste the chance.

Not sure if it's been talked about anywhere but are Leeds subsiding any of his wages for the rest of the season as an incentive for Gold Coast to take him early?
