Anyone know if the club did eventually receive a fee? I haven’t seen anything but could easily have missed it.

Not seen any announcements. Same applies here, I could have easily missed it. Haven't seen anything on the Dons site.

The fee probably allowed the squad to stay in a best western hotel rather than the university campus at cornwall!

I noticed Watson on a video congratulating Misi on 350 games.

I'm sure the club have not received payment for Watson as he is not registered on Sepik Pride's website and has not played for them, other than in a trial game early in the season.

I think they are yet to win a game ,so why would you have an international half capable of getting results for you and choosing to leave him in the stand if he is eligible to play?

Watson also commented "Come on Dons " on the video ,given the circumstances it does seem strange.

Could he be returning to the club as his facebook account has lots of messages saying safe travels and good journey?

I think it would be wise if Carl cleared the matter up one way or the other.

Hally posted on twitter yesterday evening a screen grab from Manchester arrivals. Make of that what you will, but its looking like WB is back in this country. One of Watsons facebook comments wished him well for the remainder of this season and looking forward to him being back there for 2024.

Best guess is that he is seeing out his contract.

Thanks for the news KLD. Not sure how I feel about this one...

Maybe there's more to it all than we know about?

Re: Watson Boas : Thu Jun 22, 2023 7:49 am  

His name will appear on the squad sheet for the Hunslet game...and some little fat bloke that used to be him will waddle out onto the pitch at the South Leeds Stadium...
10 mins later...he will be dragged off!

From what I could gather, it would appear that he was missing his family ( a big thing in PNG) unlike here any more. His love for his two lads looks amazing and I for one can fully appreciate that, I'm not commenting on his contract hicup thats for the big boys. What I do feel is that the Family tie is huge and I would not criticise a bloke for that. On the playing side of things if he can get up to any where near fitness he is class and that's in short supply in this League. Another body to the ranks and huge cover at half back or hooker IMO.

Feel free to argue against his return but I would sooner he was in our squad than some other teams squad.(not aimed at you DM)
