Toronto are c really interesting coz they've got Dundee c absolutely top draw players, mixed with some not so.
Leutele has really impressed me. Watkins and Leutele in centres is mouth watering for them....

Personally wouldn't have Watkins back. He's been a great servant to the club, and is no doubt a fantastic player. He's certainly one of the best athletes in SL IMO.

For me, he's really gone down the route of being the ultimate team player. Obviously very disciplined and a leader in the group. The problem is for me, is that he has modeled that on player like Peacock and Sinfield who were the ultimate pro's and may not have had the careers they would have had without their discipline and determination.

With Watkins athleticism, I think he needs a bit more ego/confidence. He should always have demanded the ball way more than he did, and backed himself to always beat his opposite man. I think it was a bit of a mistake for him to go down the steady-eddie route to become captain rather than be a bit more of an individual

They have Chase Stanley too who is arguably better than both. It doesn’t really make sense for them to have Leutele, Stanley and Watkins, unless one of the others is leaving which could free up some cap space if they pick up Watkins on a bargain contract.

Not that it matters as he is nothing to do with Leeds these days but this move just confirms to me he wasn't going to cut it on the NRL. Shame for Watkins and at least he gave it a go but moving to Toronto just shows that the talk about wanting to be closer to home was a convenient story. I'm afraid that knee injury has really done for him by the looks of it.

Needless to say I wish his father well.

Toronto are currently based in Manchester aren’t they?

Toronto are based in the UK for the majority of the season and he’ll spend the off season in the UK, he’s closer to home, in fact he will be living at his Leeds/Manchester home so he won’t be closer to home, he will be at home.
