Initially I was very much "here we go again " when I read this however when you think about it a 2 year contract would actually make a lot of sense dependent on how the cap numbers stack up. Leeds desperately lack leaders and if Watkins came in would expect him to be made club captain. As a club trained player he could be marquee only counting 50k to the cap. I supposed the issue is who currently is that club trained marquee and what their salary is on the cap. Probably Newman or Handley.
Watkins could definitely offer the same as Martin minus the goalkicking on a 2 year contract in that hes a running back row who can cover centre. Would say he as quick as both our centres as well. The key is if we have enough cap left for 2 props.

No, Leeds are actually ahead of the game. Wait for the RFL to announce the 2025 Super Masters League!

You're right - I can see the link making some sense because of cap dispensation.

Problem is, are we building a side capable of being the best in the league, or just trying to be a little bit less crap...?

Presumably his age prevents us signing him. Obviously we are trying to construct an over thirties side.

We had leaders. Multiple grand final winning leaders. We then shipped them out to accommodate ‘leaders’ like Merrin and Hurrell. Big mistake…. We are now trying to turn back time….!

If we're going down the route of ex-players I'd get Hardaker back. One of the best defensive full backs I've seen, more dangerous in attack than half of our 3/4s, doesn't get injured often just he can be a bit of a div. Not sure if he's moved over there but would be closer to home.
