He played scrum half! Most, if not all modern day half backs defend out in the centres.

well he is not good enough to play in that position as was proven yesterday.I am not having a go at Watson by the way but he should stay at 7 where he does a good job

There is a very good reason why Watson has to be in the team. Who else would direct the play? Watson calls everything, the problem is, a lot of the time its the rest that don't execute properly. Who else do we have that can direct play like that? I don't think we can play Ridyard and Watson together. Martin maybe a local lad and a nice bloke, but he is miles off at this level. The problem is what are the options, without Marshy. I can only think of Durbin with Watson, but that gives us more defensive problems.

Would that be the same injury prone Hartley who is constantly getting slagged off by the Widnes fans for being too slow and poor in defence? Sounds like he would fit in perfectly!

reay drop why he s the only back that makes any yards maden mort stewart a joke today reay coped for some stick because he has the worst tackler in the league defending by his side in ridyard the lad not up to this level when taylor and reay defend together there side is solid ridyard comes in and everybody all at sea because he has not got a clue what he s doing reay and taylor are takeing his man which is why they get on our outside quite a few people have seen this but our coach does nothing about it this has to be rectified now

Exactly we are a damn site better with him than without. Every one wants to shoot Watto but what about Stewart? Has he ever contributed anything to any game he's played? He's on a good contract from what i here and what does he do? he gets in the 17 every week!! Lay off Watto and watch some other players for a change!

Good post.

Is this the same Watson that scored two tries everyone is trying to shoot down? Get off his back we aint got any better.
