Its time Watts was chucked in at the deep end for me. Lacked some punch up front on Friday and this lad, although young, can make ground AND offload, something that our forwards lack drastically. He may not be good for 30 minute stints yet but worth a gamble, after all Lovegrove has had his shot.
What about Wheeldon? What's gone on there - was he rubbish in the friendlies? When he signed it was reported:
Wheeldon revealed that the opportunity for a regular place in the starting XIII at Rovers was his main reason for returning to his former club.
"The priority at this stage of my development as a player is more game time," he said. "I will be 23 at the start of next season and am keen to expand my game, which can only be achieved by more time on the field.
Hull KR head coach Justin Morgan added: "Scott is a talented young man with huge amounts of potential and with regular game time all will witness that he is a force to be reckoned with.
"It's fantastic that we can attract young players of his calibre, he has invaluable game time under his belt and I'm sure will regularly feature within the side at Rovers next year."
