be good to see him back - good player IMO

If your refering to Scott Watson i'm not so sure that would be wise...

Eagles appear to have parted company with back rower Scott Watson who they signed from Doncaster at the start of the season.

Watson made substitute appearances in the first three Rail Cup games but has been missing from training in recent weeks. Aston said: “I’ve not seen him, as far as I am concerned he has gone. (from the Star)

we could do without another anthony seuseu, I think - does anyone know why Watson left us? perhaps a tendency to skip training was known about by the coaching staff and so they did not try so hard as they otherwise might have to keep him?

The Seagulls offered him a lot more money than we could afford

One problem with our level of the game is that some players can earn more in their day job than playing RL. Without knowing his particular personal situation it is not rare for a young man, possibly with a young family and responsibilities to get to a situation where they can earn more away from the game and so drift out. Having said that, you'd expect them to give the club notice of this.

Also sometimes a players heart just isn't in it any more, it can't be a good game to play if you're not feeling it!

Re: Former players : Wed Mar 23, 2011 1:29 pm  

True, but like you say you would have expected him to give the club a heads up

Gareth Handford, Mark Castle and Andy Speake all are part of Frystons BARLA National Cup Final-bound team.

Fryston, 29-10 Semi Final winners over Wigan St. Pats will meet Sharlston Rovers in the May 28 Final at Fylde RUFC after Sharlston's 22-21 victory over Queens for whom Aaron Henry was a tryscorer.

Henry .... he could have been special.
What a shame.

Re: Former players : Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:53 pm  

Henry would have been better option at full back in Butters absence than anyone on the books at present.
