Well I'll bow to your more up to date coaching techniques.
However, Graham is a freak, a real one off in any generation of players. My worry for player like Watts is burn out, we've managed him really well for the last three years but this is a seriously physical game and what I don't want is for him to end up like a Fielden who after about four years in the wilderness is just about getting back to a forty per cent of his form or Sonny Bill Williams whose had (is it?) three shoulder reconstructions and has to hide in Onion. Not that Watts has the talent of either of those two, but it's a very short career, which he won't hit the heights of for about another six or seven years.
I'd like to see Liam Watts fulfil his potential and play for Rovers over that period of time.
As an aside, I've done rehabilitation work with a couple of former GB Internationals from the fifty's (it was a while ago now) and in their late sixty's they looked and had the bodies of people twenty years older than them, this is not a good thing.
