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
