So there are a couple of Rumours on the Total RL forums about Watts going to be announced as a Toronto player soon. A Cas fan then said there are rumours over there that he is to sign a 3 year deal with them! Is this all rubbish? Is there some foundation to it due to us getting fed up with him missing games?

I guess Toronto could afford to pay us a fee, Cas are not in that position.

FWIW I think it is rubbish, but odd for him to be mentioned on t'other forum by someone who has been 'in the know' with some Toronto signings in the past

This is all over Cas at the moment, 3 year deal starting immediately apparently. I'll believe it when I see it, after all Shaul was going there to replace Zac before Christmas!

Sounds ominous. We would need another prop - unless we put in a bid for Kopczak with Salford looking to offload. Interesting times

We need to get rid of Watts, and if we get a fee all the better. There's precious little point having a player who is constantly banned, I can't imagine he's that popular in the dressing room either!

They reportedly paid £100,000 for Gareth O'Brien, how much would Watts be worth ?

I'd hate to see him go. I think he is our best prop who wins us games. But he is an idiot who costs us games. The good outweighs the bad for me.

Who knows?
Maybe Radders has blasted him and he's taken umbrage?
Maybe he wants to go and grow podgy like his mate westerman?
Maybe it's all bollards?

But is the bad affecting the other players. They are having to play matches with 12 men because of his brain farts. Radford is about unity and togetherness and if there is some hostility toward Watts due to his disciplinary record then it may be swaying the club's thinking

I'm not going to speculate on how other people feel. I'd understand if any of this was true. However I'd also be sad knowing that I'll have to wait a few years to see another offload from a Hull prop.

Unless we arrange a swap for Junior Moors

Done.

Rumours is a cracking album.

Couldn't disagree more. We dont need to get rid of him at all, he's our best prop in my opinion. Yeah he's copped a few in the last couple of seasons but the Gale and McIlorum incidents were harsh. We'd be a worse team without him for sure and at 27 he's just hitting his prime as a prop.

will be gutted if he let go a big step backwards our best prop

Just seen the Liam Watts to Toronto stories coming out. Story online shortly, but Watts won't be a Hull FC player much longer.
