O/T but I see Kallum Watkins has apparently been poorly treated by Leeds who are trying to renege on a back end weighted long deal handed out before his injury.

I agree. It would be one thing not offering him a new contract - there is no room for sentiment as they say. But when it's already been agreed it's very poor form from Leeds. His injury has undoubtedly affected his game, but they should be sticking by their captain. He has given them plenty down the years. It's stuff like this that is contributing to their on field issues. It's not a happy camp, and with Sinfield ruling with a iron fist it's easy to see why. Furner got shafted simply because him and Sinfield didn't agree, Lilley and Golding (amongst others) treat badly, Garbutt let go because he was McDermott's mate. He is running them into the ground.

Id be happy with Sao and Evans, guessing Sao for the loose forward role if were signing Evans too.

Bieneks been playing for the reserves, at his age no need to be rushed, develop nicely playing reserve grade imo

Think savelio will play loose myself. Thompson and Jones are 80/big minutes men and savelio can play middle well
Bowden Taylor rotated with soa n evans would be very tidy with Matongo n bienek fighting to get in

I'd be happy with that

If this is true then players will think twice about joining Leeds. If their prepared to dump on their home game town club captain who has been the model professional and a one club man, then they will not bat an eyelid at any other player.

Think Kallum was from Lancashire, Oldham I think.

Radford is a massive fan of Watkins.
Its the pace he has lost that makes him a shadow of the player he was.
Cant see anyone paying him big money on his current form.
If his salary became realistic Radford could be on the phone to him as it looks like he wont be a Leeds player next season
