He could end up in the second row like Delaney and McKenna.

Not sure he has the aggression or defensive work rate for that personally.

I still think he will come good, always gonna be a long road back after a long injury but we need the old Watkins now and i get the frustrations.

He needs at least 12 months to come back fully from this kind of injury. We have to be patient with him.

Agreed. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem except that it's a fantasy that half the side seem to be sharing right now.

Watkins problems are usually mental; something McDermott commented on.

Have to say I think money spent on top quality coaching right now has to make sense. No salary cap impediment, and we have a first team in some disarray and the most important batch of Academy players coming through for a decade. If Furner was enabled to bring in a right hand man, it couldn't hurt.

100% agree should have picked his own team from day one.

I really hope that the Merrin rumours aren't true, but if they are I'd love to see us go all out for George Burgess as a replacement. He's out of contract at the end of the season and he's stated a desire to play in the super league. makes it a lot easier to attract players of that quality when marquee money is available
