There must surely be off field issues....if this decision has been made purely due to his on field disciplinary problems it's a crazy decision!!!!

gutted hes gone, but something has gone on which we will properly never find out, gonna back the club on this one as you don't get rid of him for nothing,

The thing that surprises me is that cas have so much space on their salary cap

Disappointed with the news on Watts as thought he was a real threat for us on the field. However reading the piece in the HDM it would seem there is more to the clubs decision than just his lack of on field discipline.
We have to back club to do what is best in terms of the whole team and professional ethos of the club.
If Radford & Ellis feel it was decision that had to be made then we have to trust them.
Hope we look to replace Watts though will be a difficult task.

Hearing Watts is pretty upset by it but if it's off field as well as on field discipline then it's his own fault and the club has to stick to it's morals. Burgess for next season?? He was seen with the FC players in Australia and with Ellis!

Never replaced Hardaker

It's a massive statement.

Short term pain for long term gain maybe?

Really disappointed to see Watts go, I'd hoped he'd spend the rest of his career at Hull. Having said that, I'll back the club over this. I'd heard he'd been on a warning for some personal stuff and no player is bigger than the club. As DGM said we released Lineham and Westerman to much hand wringing from some supporters but both moves worked out OK for us in the long run.

It's difficult in these situations because we never get to hear the full story.

Watts does have 'history' of off field problems such as him & Cockayne in a car chase with police and then trying to leg it. Cockayne was slaughtered for his part in the incident but actually Watts was the driver.

Long time ago but he was forgiven by Rovers only to fall foul of club discipline again and allowed to join Hull.

He was kicked out of Castleford at an early age too for reasons unknown.

You've had 6 good years out of him it was Justin Morgan who rescued him from the scrapheap and then developed him into a England Knights player. Now you have got a healthy transfer fee. You've done very very well out of Liam Watts and who knows possibly had his peak years. If Pearson & Radford think the time is right to part company they are probably right.

yeah, jog on troll.
