If the forwards set the tone for him Watson is good enough to pick holes in a defence.

He scored two tries yesterday and people are all over him. Give the guy a break.

we cant help watching watson with his step step drag run

To be fair to the guy he shouts the orders and its upto the youngsters to listen.Would have thought Donlan would have been the same with the lads but maybe not

watson was the only player to come out of yesterdays game with any real credit,our problem is ridyard,no pace no rugby brain and will NEVER make it at pro level.This is my honest opinion and not a dig at the lad,I really think he wants to play but he dont have the ability at this level.we also need to get higson in the middle were he can be more effective.

If you watched Watson (and Durbin when he come on).....they were trying to create gaps to put players through and were screaming at the lads to run the angles and follow up in support (which hardly happened).
You cant blame Watson for this - some of the lads need to take a hard look at their own performance yesterday......simply wasn't good enough on the whole - but blaming Watson is harsh.
Ridyard had a poor game yesterday (agreed) BUT.....he has been very good so far and please give him time to get used to this level of the game as after all he has just stepped up from amatuer rugby.
Re- Stewart....have to agree - he ain't worth his spot in the team and dropping Reay and Stewart playing is plain stupidity IMO.

I agree our right side wasnt very strong in the first half but Maden and Higson cant do everything! If the whole team pulled together a bit more (or a lot more) then maybe we would be more sucessful. We have only lost a few games so far and was disgusted to hear Leigh fans booing the players! I thought we did ok in the end maybe if the players got a little more encouragement rather than negative comments their spirits maybe higher! its not all about scoring either!

It was crap, when its crap you get flack. The motivation was avoid flack and get cheers by avoiding the crap.

Exactly we are a damn site better with him than without. Every one wants to shoot Watto but what about Stewart? Has he ever contributed anything to any game he's played? He's on a good contract from what i here and what does he do? he gets in the 17 every week!! Lay off Watto and watch some other players for a change!

Someone with a bit of sense!

I wonder if Nathon Macavoy is back to full fitness? Always thought he was very solid b4 he got injured.

We would have to resign McAvoy as he was released end of last season.

Scot Naylor is a better option.
