Right hand side - cracked record : Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:23 am  

Despite sound like a cracked record, once again the right hand side is awful.

The young kid Watkins. He's young. He's English.

But he aint good enough.

Not good enough yet but may be if he's given time to fulfill his potential, I would love to know what benefit throwing him in now and having his confidence destroyed is providing.

No there not over - but at present we cant carry any passengers. He is a passenger, and is offering nothing.

He loses the ball or does a daft off load on a regular basis.

He needs to play National 1 for a year, against experienced older players. In the meantime, we need to sign an International centre of any nationality.

If I was that way I might 'Screen Dump' this. He'll be far better on the left, and also far better when he's filled out abit. I do however wish he'd stop going for the daft offload so often.

I think you might have slightly (deliberately I hope) missed the point there.

Leeds' choices are limited (until Smith gets back) on the right but at least Gibson had a decent defensive performance at Huddersfield. His non selection last night was bizarre or was it another perceived (by the coach) easy game where the team just had to turn up to collect the points? Bradford was another such game and Watkins was given a hit out in that one as well and found wanting.... again.

Unfortunately I doubt Smith will pull on a Rhinos shirt again.

Thought Senior was owned on every occasion by Gaffa to. To blame the kid alone is stupid.

i think he has a point. at this moment in time watkins isn't ready.
we should have got in a centre on a one year deal and loaned him out to play week in week out NL1
