Since when did Watson become a genius who eclipses CC. Even for you this seems a very desperate attempt to denigrate Chester, why I don’t know.

Watson has had one good season with a limited resources whilst up until this year Chester had three in a row. Chester has a far better record and deserves more respect than that.

Chester’s future at BV for me is still in the balance with the next three games being crucial to both him and club. But as I say he’s still Watson’s superior. It takes more than one season to become a superstar in my eyes, if Watson doesn’t crash and burn next year then I’ll be a bit more inclined to agree with you.

Still it’s all just opinion and I’m bound to prefer mine

They were discussing Watson the other week on Rugby League Chat Back, and along with crediting Watson they also mentioned Salford’s conditioner Greg Brown.

Martin Gleeson leaving and Paul (Must be on his last chance) Rowley taking over might not be a step forward

Just seen Darren fritz at 50 running out for runaway seagulls seniors and still putting the effort in ,now that’s what you called a quality overseas player , pity big lad didn’t have the same desire to put a shift in for us

Df was brilliant, sheer class

We have a long line of outstanding imports that couldn't stick around long enough to build anything on, back in the day..
I guess there were a lot of reasons for that.
It has improved over the past few years though.

I’d go with zip zap as the best overseas player I’ve had the privilege to watch in a wakey shirt if you discount Lewis as a stunt

Re: Pauli Pauli : Fri Aug 30, 2019 8:50 pm  

I thought Collis on his day was class, just injuries thwarted his full potential and game time but a pleasure to watch when on the park.

Re: Pauli Pauli : Fri Aug 30, 2019 8:53 pm  

Don’t know about the rest of the team but the first name I’d put down is


No6 - Henry Paul

Lewis coming to Trinity wasn’t a stunt, it was a big gamble to stave off relegation. Wally certainly didn’t just come for money, he put his body & health on the line every time he pulled on the shirt.

If you’re referring to the low number of games, that’s the way it was back then as the seasons weren’t coterminous.

Certainly worth the entrance money win or lose to watch the great man, wish more of the younger generation of today could have seen him play.
