In the last two seasons we've had several good youngsters break into the first team - Stevie Ward, Brad Singleton and Liam Sutcliffe for instance. Watkins now looks the best centre in SL by a mile, and Zak the best fullback. Both were given their chance in the team by BMac.
I was worried early doors 2011, but I wouldn't swap him for anyone now.
