I think Watson is trying to sell the move to him as he can play centre here, but would be much happier with him coming as a winger, as imo neither senior is good enough for top level SL and Jerry isn't getting any younger.

Think the only thing that’s missing now is that belief and confidence to just back himself for the line as he can sometimes play it too safe and hesitate or cut inside rather than just go for the line.
If Innes had been alongside Leroy last night that would have been 6 points when he broke.

Decent enough as a player but as I say Watson seems to be very narrow minded in his player selection!!!!

Watson has confirmed interest in Jake. A decent enough player and still young, but hope its not at the expense of either leutele or wardle. Watson does seem to keep going back to the same players. Thats fine but hope hes not being too narrow minded.

I agree and maybe i am being a bit harsh, he could be like Ollie Russell and be a slow burner that's getting better all the time. I have also noticed how confident he is in defence, and his pace is great. It's difficult to trust that a player will become the finished article, if they burst on the scene with natural skill and flair like Will Pryce it's easy to say a player will definitely make it, much harder when they don't have the wow factor but gradually improve. Well done to the staff for improving both him and Russell both of which could have been thrown to the championship and probably would have been in bygone days.
