I’d still have picked Taylor over Watts every time - if that’s really what went on. He’s had a good run of form since leaving us so don’t think he was happy, probably for the best.

Hope he like Satay because he’s got a big serving coming next season.

Normally I would agree with you cal train, but by his own super standards, Tag was not at his best this season, AP has openly admitted it was a mistake letting Liam go.

Hope Wattsy or Josh Jones can make a dent in the super league GF this year, I really didn’t fancy Cas last night, as Mrs B states the curse of winning the cup strikes again.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Fri Sep 20, 2019 1:53 pm  

just my opinion,but all this talk of whos going to win the gf is pointless.st helens are 16 points ahead at the top of the table and are the champions,bang average sides like Castleford or wigan winning a couple of ko games wontl change that.in any other sport saints would be acknowledged as a great champion team.

Its also interesting to see how Watts has come on under Powell yet Taylor has gone backwards this season.
Watts should make the England Team on form and ability.
No place in the team for Taylor.
Pearson did say they now regret moving Watts on but i suspect it was Radfords call.
Going to keep an eye on Josh Jones next season.Outstanding club form under another very good coach.
Lets see if he goes backwards under Radford or continues his Salford form

Let’s hope Tag recaptures his top notch form, which was also under Radders tenure, and let’s also hope JJ progresses to win further honours with his new club, this is the perspective of a supporter who as always, wishes the very best for the Airlie birds.

And we all know there are quite a few who don't fall into this category. No names, no pack drill, they know who they are.

Watts has been great this season. Big and aggressive but on the right side of the line. Partly down to him realising he needed to do it I would think and probably responding better to Powell than he did to radford. He also does long minutes which is invaluable in the current game with fewer interchanges. I miss him as part of our team and don't really see us replacing what he brought to the table easily. I hope he gets the GB call this time and he deserves it more than Taylor who I don't think will make the tour

On top form, there’s not much between them, he’s is badly missed, and has shown form which would alert the NRL. If the owner admits it was a mistake to sell Liam, that probably sums it up, the owners had the balls to admit it, we have to move on.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Fri Sep 20, 2019 7:54 pm  

Watts has left, hes gone, he doesn't play for us anymore, he plays for cas, not hull fc, how many times do we have to listen it was a mistake to let him go, maybe it was we don't know all the facts, but repeating it over and over again isn't gonna change anything, time to move on

Indeed. Hope Taylor gets a nice rest. Clean bill of health Cameron Scott apart for pre season.
