Short term he would do a job but if we are looking at second rows then Sam Stone could be an option and if the quota is free could be a good long term addition.
Stone’s alright isn’t he, but even with age against him I’d still prefer Watkins. Honestly don’t think Singleton, Bullock, Ormondroyd et al would improve our squad, which is testament to the job Paul Rowley’s done with them all as a unit.
In terms of pure talent, McDonald, Nikorima, Lafai and Sneyd are the standouts. But I’m not sure how/where any of them would fit in our system at the moment. The first two are also big hard-to-coach characters and we seem to be avoiding those types at the moment, which I’m all for.
I’m happy with where our squad is - it’ll be easier to see where we really need to strengthen by July.
I trust Powell and Steve Mills if they think they can get Watkins and he’ll improve the squad then that will do for me. A lot of experience was lost when Ashurst went and Watkins would be good value on a 2 year deal. Plus he could also provide cover at centre as it’s a long season and a relatively small squad of 30 players. 43 were used when last in SL.

Shorrocks and Watkins would be 2 who I think would really improve our squad.
Shorrocks is a very talented athlete and his ability to cover all positions in the pack apart from Prop along with high level skill set meaning he can also cover 6 would be very useful.
Watkins is just a great pro and he’s become a very good second row as well as his leadership qualities.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Looks to me they are having a sale to bring better players in Thought they were in danger of going bust and they were selling players to stay afloat ..Stinks to me or am I reading it wrong
