An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

Don’t worry I’m getting use to it being the go to line for a certain few posters just because they don’t agree with an opinion.

The Leigh and Wakefield fans mentality......

Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion

Say something negative about Leigh and Wakefield - TROLL

You never stop stirring the pot do you. Watkins has received in general a similar amount of sympathy too the two players you mention. That said there is one crucial difference that you've missed in your latest attempt to be outraged on behalf of the Rhinos. Manfredi and Johnstone are both youngish players who are yet to hit their true potential, Watkins has had a brilliant career that has unfortunately ended in a way that he'd rather it hadn't but he still has a sack full of medals and a full career behind him so lets not get too precious.

Surely even you can see the difference and thus its obvious why the two you mention probably got a tad more sympathy :roll:

You need to take another break you really do.


An injury is an injury. You don't have to love Watkins but equally the criticism is uncalled for, especially when he's been clear that depression and general mental health are part of the issue.

Possibly, because despite the issues with his form, if anyone thinks he’s agreed to cancel the final 2 years at Leeds without something well paying lined up then they’re mistaken.

Re: Watkins : Wed Jun 05, 2019 11:26 pm  
I genuinely don't think we could afford him but i could be wrong. Widdop will take up the second Marquee spot so if Watkins will only move for a marquee wage i doubt we could fit his wage in the salary cap. But as Luther Burrell won't count on the cap next season aswell as this year, we could possibly use Goodwin and Atkins wage on him?

Where did I criticise Watkins? I certainly didn't, great player. I've said nothing about his mental health not sure anyone has?

Bit harsh. Wasn't that long ago i would have liked him for us. I think this last injury has hindered his game big time.


yep agree, but to be fair we are talking about his 2019 form
