He'll promote an obvious talent that can't be ignored, but how many of them does each club have? Not many. When he joined your club he highlighted the 'wealth of talent' available in the academy as a big factor as to why he joined, yet us Salford fans knew the smell that came from that statement the day he made it.

Plenty of youngsters have made their debuts under Watson- plenty of youngsters getting game time. Ever thought that the reason Watson didn’t play your academy players is that they just were not good enough?
We’ve had a few make their debuts under Watson he’s playing plenty of youngsters....
