Quote: Hangerman2 "Watson is pulling the wool over your eyes. This season was over before it began when he failed to notice what was blatantly obvious to anyone who was watched rugby for any amount of time, he failed to recruit in the areas we are obviously weak. We have a shocking three quarter line (only Naiqama is anywhere near the required standard), and lack pace in the halves and Watsons answer was to sign more forwards and the slowest outside back in the league (Jake Connor)
As recently as this week, he said he signed Milner because we 'need a bigger body in the middle'. He has no clue what he is doing, SIDES ARE CRUCIFYING US DOWN THE WINGS and with pace from acting half.
This the team HE built, the team HE said would be competing against St helens regularly every year. The team HE said would build into the season, the team HE said would be fine once we got our first choice spine back. We currently have three injured players, less than nearly any other team and yet in his interview with Sky today he blamed not having Olly Russell in the spine as to why we are not clicking. NO other super league side would touch Olly Russell, he is championship standard, NO other superleague side would touch Nathan Peats, he is championship standard, NO other supeleague side would touch Adam Milner , he is past it.
Please get rid of Watson before he lumbers us with anymore deadwood, we already have Nathan peats occupying an overseas spot for 3 years, and Adam Miler for at least 2. He is going to keep making more terrible signings and wasting your money. I know you were taken in by him as we all were when we got him, but he has no clue what he is doing as a coach. He does not identify the right areas we need to improve, he is now signing terrible players.
Look at the players who either didn't want to play for him or he didn't rate. Jake Wardle, Ricky Leutele, Owen Trout, Aidan Sezer, Kruise Leeming (not sure if he left before watson arrived) , all quality attacking players and what we have replaced them with. If it wasn't for Wakefield this year we would be FULLY embroiled in a relegation battle.
Get rid of him now'"
Leeming left Giants in 2019 & was before Watsons time.
From what I've heard from certain people Sezer was an arrogant so & so who upset a few of the players & off field staff.
I'm not for one minute defending Watson after watching that tripe earlier either, the players look disinterested, lacked any kind of passion in their play & christ knows what our game plan is.
I sent a text to a mate of mine, I'm just fed up, fed up of signing these over 30s who are coming in for a last pay cheque & pension.
I looked at that team today & for the 1st time, I thought he's bloody lost it - Cudjoe in the 2nd row! Are you serious right now, he's a centre, always will be a centre.
As we've already spoken about before, the lack of pace in our team is frightening, we have 1 (Naiqama).
The balance of the squad is all over the shot, far too many forwards, not enough backs.
Not seen his interview & have no interest in even listening if he thinks Olly Russell is the answer - as you say he's a Championship halve at best.
I've written this season off, maybe even next year as well, we aren't good enough.
I get sick to the back teeth of hearing how strong this squad is, its weak, there's zero fight in any of them - what reay boils my p**s is watching the players after (Peats, Fages & Naiqama) all having a natter & smiling after that performance.
Get rid - rebuild.
