In terms of Super League

Wigan - very likely - replacement for Sarginson - most likely to have/use marquee spot for him particularly if Williams is off
Hull FC - likely - massive overhaul - looking to throw cash at players - may try and release a few players to get him in
Hull KR - possible - McGuire connection - maybe offer a bit more cash but wouldn't get marquee there
Castleford - possible - Daryl Powell connection/Hardaker effect/doesn't have to move far
Huddersfield - possible but think they're likely to be blown out the water
Warrington - i'd say unlikely with their cap situation but you never know
Catalans - unlikely - think living overseas may be too far
Saints - unlikely - think they've better centres at the mo
Wakefield - Very unlikely - don't think they could afford
Salford - Very unlikely - definitely can't afford

afford him why the hell would we want a turn stile anyway we have topou and Lyne far better players than him

I don’t think he’s worth marquee money but even if he were I doubt we’ll be offering it to anybody. We look like a club cutting costs at the moment and once Williams departs we’ll have no marquee spots taken up and no players worthy of one.

Unless we make some big plays in the player market for 2020 then I’d guess we’re spending well under the cap limit and can probably count ourselves as a club who’ll challenge for a top five spot at best and be relegation candidates at worst (if we get on a bad run).

Possibly Saints, their short of a class centre.

Re: Watkins : Mon Jun 03, 2019 1:52 pm  

Won't be Hull, we have 3 decent centres, we need forwards not backs.

Not he player he was, might come to Leigh Centurions.

Shafted by Leeds. Gave them the best years of his career turning down more lucrative offers only for Leeds to go back on what they said they were going to offer him.

But then this is Leeds so its no surprise

Is he not in his testimonial year, I think he's been on a good crack for many seasons.

It'll probably give him a new lease of life, unless Leeds know more than their letting on, so based on that I'll go for Cas.

Maybe he’d be a good fit for Salford, its his hometown club?

I'd heard on the jungle drums that he'd done his knee again, similar to currie when he came last year, its just not right.

I was amazed he was playing at the start of this year to be honest.

Yeah he could pick up where he left off as ballboy, albeit that was at the Willows.

Not sure why you think he’s worth a big contract, he’s gone and will do well to get another SL contract imo. Leeds well and truly had the best of him and he never really developed in to the player everybody had hoped, internationally etc.

It's not that he's necessarily worth a big contract, just that I don't see him leaving Leeds unless he knows he can get a deal comparable to his current one. Otherwise he may as well have stopped at Leeds and sat out the next few years.
