So he is leaving Leeds because they wanted to reduce is salary.

No way!

Re: Kallum Watkins. : Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:08 pm  

Indeed, confirmed.

And no, we don't want him. An absolute shadow of the player he was before his injury.

Re: Kallum Watkins. : Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:35 pm  

No way he'll be getting a start in the NRL on his current form.

North America?

Re: Kallum Watkins. : Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:34 pm  

Sadly, no where near the player he was, as his pace has gone.

It’s actually a very good piece of business by Leeds. Ruthless but definitely good business

Not so sure about that. Yes they haven’t been getting their value out of him for a couple of years now, but they are essentially going back on a promise they made to him about terms and conditions - he was supposed to have been promised a salary uplift from 2020.

I’d imagine the morale round the place isn’t great anyway, but to know the club you play for are going back on promises made to its players - it’s captain and senior player of 11 years at that, surely won’t do much good to the atmosphere over there, or do them many favours reputation wise in the player market.

Short term gain for Leeds but reputationally damaging. Probably not great work by KW’s agent if it wasn’t in writing and in enforceable terms.
