That didn't work for Watkins though. He was definitely brought back too early. He wasn't actually anything like fit until the start of last season

It didn't.There no need to rush him back with Sutty going well in the centre.

Pre Injury Watkins was arguably one of our all time top 5 centres. Utterly unrecognizable on his premature return.

Hmmm...Leeds top 5 Centres of all time...Hynes, Dyl, Senior, Watkins Godden (assumes Lewis Jones was a Stand Off)

He will have gone through and passed all the rehab milestones...
Just lost something with the injury, probably confidence more than anything with Watkins. agree back on good form now......

Any update on the extent of Handley's MCL injury yet? He was due to be scanned on Mon. Is no news a bad sign?

I think this has to be seen as a plus. It could well have been a lot longer.
