Watkins
Released at the end of this season. Who’d want to see us try to get him? I know he’s not been the same since coming back from injury but I think that’s got a lot to do with the situation at Leeds. I’d like to think we’d be looking at him.

We gave a 2 year deal to Shenton so why not!!derbystiger wrote:Released at the end of this season. Who’d want to see us try to get him?

Re: Watkins
I would like to think so. He's better than what we have and if he can find his form would fit right in

Re: Watkins
Why would we swap a player who is under contract for two more years for a player who is a free agent?Tigerade wrote:Watkins for Gale swap deal anyone ?

Re: Watkins
1. Gale is still injured and might never be the same.
2. Watkins (allthough not fully fit) is playing now and we need someone to replace Shenton in the long term.
3. Gale is 31 - Watkins is 28.

Re: Watkins
But Gale is under contract so if somebody wanted him they would have to pay a fee. Watkins is a free agent as has been released from contract so no fee.Tigerade wrote:1. Gale is still injured and might never be the same.

Re: Watkins
Watkins was inconsistent when he was supposedly "world class" this season he lost his only asset - pace, and looks a complete dud, could find better and cheaper in the Championship at this point.

Re: Watkins
With him now being released, is he able to sign for another club for free at end of the year or even now?
I assume they will now go after Hastings with the freed up cash.

James Maloney is the target, apparently.heritage1926 wrote:With him now being released, is he able to sign for another club for free at end of the year or even now?

Re: Watkins
Not that i'm bothered what Leeds do, but the last thing they want is another 30+ year old Aussie. Hastings would be a perfect for them, good player, controlling half back and age on his side.TheSheriff wrote:James Maloney is the target, apparently.heritage1926 wrote:With him now being released, is he able to sign for another club for free at end of the year or even now?

Leeds should be looking to get rid of Myler, Lolohea and a few other high earners and with the wage saves from Watkins, go out and buy 5/6 solid players. Marquee players guarantee nothing these days.
FWIW, I would happily take Watkins off their hands. Take all responsibility from him and let him enjoy his rugby again. Never seen a player with so much ability look completely shot.
Re: Watkins
Would love for us to go for tui I know he's not set the world on fire but I honestly think he would work at full back for us. Be even better if we could get a knocked Down salary if Leeds want to free that role up

End of the year but I'd imagine if the right deal came along they may let him go earlier.heritage1926 wrote:With him now being released, is he able to sign for another club for free at end of the year or even now?

I'm not sure. They are in a relegation scrap.
