Watts in particular should be pushing for a spot on the plane to the WC at the end of the year, I think he can be that good, but there's no way he'll be taken when his discipline is as poor as it is.
It's not just the incidents he's been charged with and copped bans for, but it's the giving away of needless penalties at crucial times or crucial areas of the field.

It's worse than that because they usually follow an error so we go from attacking to defending our line in a few seconds. les cats had no chance of scoring last night if we played out our sets and kicked well
Watts charged grade A so he may escape a ban, not that I'll be putting my life savings on it. Griffin charged grade B so at least one game.
Regarding the game then yes Hull's players did some pretty idiotic things and fell for the baiting far too easily but the Catalans time wasting was so flagrant that even the Sky commentators were harping on about it. Plus we got to hear a fair amount of what the referee was saying. Now I'm no fan of Child at all but he was put under enormous and constant pressure by several Catalan players and at times was basically ignored by them. I would like to know the RFLs view on this where organised team dissent is used. As for time wasting the NRL has done much to speed up restarts - maybe its time for SL to consider how to deal with this problem.
watts got off lightly with that I reckon but it wasn't malicious so hopefully he'll get away with it. I didn't even see the griffin incident but any player who touches the ref is a first class fook wit IMO. They know what will happen.
