I still think he can get back but he needs to clear his head and get a strong pre season in. I assume he won't be playing in the test series so he should get an extended period to train and prepare for next year and with a new coach coming in clean slate.

I tend to agree with others that the likely scenario is back to SL sometime next year but at this point he really has nothing to lose and everything to gain with a huge incentive to put 6 months of graft in which i'm sure he will. We need him back close to his best.Centre is not a position the national side has tons of depth and quality in and the 2021 WC will surely be on his radar.

With Aus training facilities, weather etc. he has the best chance of achieving full fitness again where he is.

He looked shot to me this year, sadly, but it could well be that his injury needed another year to recover from. It's been painful watching him try to reach a top pace he no longer has.

Maybe he should quit a go and do something else. Nothing to prove. If he's unhappy in the game he needs to be out of it. It's a long life yet.

Watkins hasn’t been fully fit all year, hopefully after a long off season and then pre season he will be back to somewhere near his best

I dunno, it may be that the top gear has just gone. As with McGuire.

The one he let in after that was even worse. Totally lacking application. It's terrible to see one of our few world class players in this condition.

He's been leaking those trys for the last few seasons at Leeds, no real surprise that in his current poor form that he's leaking them against superior opposition.

I hope Im wrong, but its gonna be make or break for him as soon as Holbrook walks in to the training ground, I really hope that Kallum can get fit, get healthy (mentally and physically) and fight his way back to the top. Its horrible to see such a great servant to Leeds becoming a mere shadow of the player he was through injury.
