i think there was only Keith Mason missing, could be wrong though.

sorry i am wrong, Stephen Wild too

I dont want to get shot down for this but young Watts reminds me slightly of a young Mills a good few years back. I remember Mills having all the attributes, size, strength and aggression, all of which I can see in Watts.

Lets hope Watts can live upto this early promise.

Strange. For me Cooke was one of the few who was at least trying to make things happen on Sunday.

thought he was on par with most of them to be honest, I personally think Dobbo may need dropping for a kick up his rectum.(And maybe afew others aswell)
Far to many players in our team know they will be playing week in week out and that needs to change.

Depends. Makka if you want impact and experience, Watts if you want youth, enthusiasm, potential for much more game time, and a player for the future.

Ageing overseas players have been replaced by young homegrown ones who have the potential to be at least as good as those who've left.

Even if they don't hit the same heights straight away, it's a policy you yourself have been calling for for long enough, so at the very least needs to be seen as one step back, two steps forward.

More of an off-the-field-based decision I reckon mate.
