Watkins isn't the best Centre at Leeds never mind is SL.

The rest I wouldn't argue with.

Speaking of which, I was delighted to hear that upstanding example of principled impartiality Phil Clurke pointing out that the team selection owed much to journalistic bias on the part of Yorkshire hacks.

He's got a point but coming from him that's laughable!

People need to stop listening and repeating what Phil Clarke says.

Ignore the fool and hopefully he'll disappear. He's at the bottom of the cesspool of rugby league 'pundits' and that is some achievement.

Re: SL Dream Team - Leeds Representatives : Thu Sep 18, 2014 2:56 pm  

Oh, I dunno. I find that he plumbs the depths of tooldom to such a degree that listening to him actually renders some of the other pundits almost listenable.

Watkins is a popular fella for not being the best centre in Super League http://www.totalrl.com/kallum-watkins-three-super-league-dream-teams/

Watkins is an enigma - easily the best centre in SL on his day, but rarely imposes himself consistently on a game. Still not sure whether it's him or the players around him who are to blame for this.

I hope he doesn't go the same way as Kevin Iro, who he reminds me of a fair bit - a devastating talent but seemed asleep for most of his time at the club. One game against Widnes in which he repeatedly ran through Jonathan Davies, as well as picking him up several times like a rag-doll, sticks in the mind. A less happy memory was in the CC semi at Elland Road against Featherstone when he failed to ground the ball over the line correctly without a single opposition player within 20m.
