O/T but I see Kallum Watkins has apparently been poorly treated by Leeds who are trying to renege on a back end weighted long deal handed out before his injury. Whilst it's definitely noticeable that he is a shadow of the player he was, seems harsh to treat the club captain like that given he seems a model pro. Leeds is just a basket case at present.
I agree. It would be one thing not offering him a new contract - there is no room for sentiment as they say. But when it's already been agreed it's very poor form from Leeds. His injury has undoubtedly affected his game, but they should be sticking by their captain. He has given them plenty down the years. It's stuff like this that is contributing to their on field issues. It's not a happy camp, and with Sinfield ruling with a iron fist it's easy to see why. Furner got shafted simply because him and Sinfield didn't agree, Lilley and Golding (amongst others) treat badly, Garbutt let go because he was McDermott's mate. He is running them into the ground.
