Well Charlie, I have seen a young Ian Watson give an on field master class in scrum half play on many occasions for Salford, Widnes and may I add against some of the worlds best 7's whilst playing for Wales.
Even in his later years at Leigh and from watching him at close hand, He was still great at marshalling the troops and directing us round the park with more than a decent kicking game on him as well.
A most talented and under rated scrum half for me. I would not mind an up and coming 19/20 year old clone in our ranks next year.
