Kallum Watkins - A view from the Carnegie Terrace : Sat Apr 25, 2009 9:33 am  

I feel strongly about this, hence a new thread.

I am not doubting the young kid's potential talent. However 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.

He will learn in National 1

what will he learn there that he cant learn at the Rhinos?

He can learn about his own game in a less intense environment.

I understand your point, but we simply cannot "carry" players, especially in those positions that are crucial.

In fairness, if he played a season of NL1 he'd be making mistakes (and learning from them) and those mistakes wouldnt be adversely affecting us.

You are a cracked record!

You've just started 2 threads talking about the same rubbish!

So do we send ablett,diskin,kylie,baileyand jjb with him then because they've been passenger's for the last few week's aswell????
I know what yer saying but he's no worse than many other's at the moment so why just highlight him??

Do you have to post 2 sets of crap? Really??

The biggest passenger on the pitch last night was Ablett IMO. He has had a poor few weeks now.

Coming into the team the way we are performing at the moment doesn't do Kallum many favours, He came in last season when we were in form and played well, Just look at the St Helens kids who look at home playing in the First Team due to the confidence around the team...
