Hope so, don't mind looking silly on an internet message board if it all turns out to be rubbish and he stays ........ really can't see it though.

I hope he stays in league. Not sure why some would want to continue picking him if he were to leave in June though. Since he'd not be around to help us in any of the games at the pointy end of the season I'd far rather perservere with Gibson, Watkins et al.

It would appear at this stage Watkins has possible defensive weaknesses.In close games that could mean the difference between losing and winning.He probably needs to be brought along in the "easier " games to develop,whilst Smith plays in the "tougher" ones.If as a result of playing Watkins all of the time and excluding Smith means we finish out of the top 2 then winning the GF becomes more difficult.

What do Rhinos fans in general think is going to happen. Does it look like he's off or staying? Am I right in thinking that Leeds won't have enough of their cap lest to bump up his salary considerably (after some of his amazing performances) but would be a loss to Leeds and RL if he went to Union.

We normally have some space left in case 'the right player' comes long mid season, and as we have no Eastwood we should have a pretty big bit of space to play with this year
