Rumoured on the Leeds board that we have signed Watkins (according to a Wigan fan who is normally spot on with his news)

So, if this was to happen, would we pull out of the Joel Thompson deal and move Griffin to the back row? Carlos @ Left Centre, Watkins @ Right Centre, Connor to Stand Off and Kelly to 13?

Would be a strange one Before his injury was superb but been a different matter since.

I'd be surprised, think Hull might mean Hull KR (has happened before), link back with McGuire and Smith.

I did post earlier in the week that Radford was a massive fan of Watkins so it wouldnt surprise me.
He is a class centre but needs to get his speed back in pre season

Yes you can
With the correct speed training anyone can increase their original pace.
I dont know who conducts speed training at the club but i have no doubt with a full pre season Watkins can regain his speed

Well apparently the desire to leave was sparked by Leeds not dangling big bucks in front of him. If he's just after a big payday, then no thanks.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Fri Jun 07, 2019 3:54 pm  

Not entirely true

They had a gentlemans agreement that Watkins would go onto marquee wages for this season, but after his injury Leeds have decided to go back on it, which hasnt gone down well at all, hence coming to the agreement Watkins can now leave

Leeds acting like poop houses again it seems

AP says in tonight’s program notes . On signings “2 have been announced, another 2 confirmed . Also ,”some interesting conversations going on”.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Fri Jun 07, 2019 5:15 pm  

Are we confident the 2 confirmed are Thompson and Sao, possibly want to complete their seasons before any announcements, orrrrrrr Hull want to time the announcements for marketing
