2nd chances? Hasn't Watts been sacked from his past 2 clubs, plus not played any of a 1 year deal with us? I'd regard his new deal with us as at least his 4th chance + if the rumours are true, he stiill hasnt learned. Quite amazing that the club seemed to be so quick to blame the fans yet every bit of their recruitment and performances have been such a let down.

Well if that's the case then he's very lucky to still be a professional rugby player.

Not so Lucky this time, shame but he's brought it on himself. I know what's happened but clearly can't say anything, until the club release a statement. Which they will soon.

The thing is he isn't even that good, Vikings fans have built him up as the big white hope probably because he is an Aussie.

You're probably right, certainly not considered top class by NRL standards, but probably would have done a job in SL (if fit). I think people were clinging on to the hope that the club had somehow stumbled upon this great rough diamond, but in reality, sadly it seems we were no nearer to taming him than anyone else.

IMO it was kind of worrying when people said that they had seen him out drinking within days of him being here - even though a lot of Widnes fans thought this was great and a sign of him settling in well.

Ha Ha!It's like a bloody good soap opera this.Gotta hand it to Widnes,we are great entertainment value in some ways.

(Is Matt Diskin tied up for next season?)

He's goin home and won't be returning according to his twitter page 15 mins ago from the airport! P%ss poor show by him, you gave him a decent deal first off after injury plagued period in NRL, then he gets another injury before SL season gets underway and he lands on his feet again with a new deal. I'd be very, very suprised if any club offers him a deal anywhere!!
