Evans? Have I missed something? When did we sign Tex Evans?

need to get the Thompson one past the line. Good player and a Evans- could either be a Sam Moa on prime or a Paul McNicholas, so jury is out
Sao- Never seen him so can't judge
Edwards- IMO no improvement on Manu. Would like to see a few more names linked and yes I would take a gamble on Watkins but not as a marquee

Why would you take Watkins? We have three very good centres as it is. Would be a total waste of cap!

Connor will be playing in the middle sooner rather than later. Griffin can cover back row if Hadley, westerman, Jordan Thompson and washbrook go. I admit Watkins has been garbage this year but he is still a quality player and playing in a poor side. I sent saying we should sign up but I wouldn't be upset if we did.

No thanks to Watkins, 2 years ago, then yes, but too many injuries, loss of form and would still command a huge salary.

I'd expect Wigan to sign him

IMO Wakey or Cas.

I've watched Evans for a while now. Not good enough in my mind. Mark Jones only he's even softer. He will be a nice bloke I'm sure. We need a big mongrel type front rower

I've only seen him 3 or 4 times but I've never been particularly impressed. Don't think he's any better than Green but he's probably more injury resistant.

Certainly hasn't played the number of games & will be WAY more expensive.

We were first linked many years ago to help him with his development, IMO he hasn't developed !!

Ben Matulino anyone? Been shipped round to English clubs.

No chance at Trinity, wouldn't get in the side with Tupou and Lyne. Even leaving the money thing to one side I'd even have Arundel over what I've seen of Watkins since injuries.
