If Watkins wasn't on the pitch, then it would be impossible for him to apparently not pass to team mates.

Great joke though, ha. ha. ha.

Ask Tom Briscoe. He got a hat-trick of tries in a Challenge Cup Final from Kallums passes and Rob Burrow also got one. That'll do for me!

That's doesn't fit the narrative, though.

Some of the Leeds contingent not showing any bias, no?

Watkins seems to have lost his mojo over the last couple of years.

He's got natural ability a plenty, just seems to have lost his motivation.

I'm sure the season he's just had must have been a shock to his system, but he needs to get his head back into the game. Maybe a season long loan at Wakefield would assist in his rehabilitation & make him realise how lucky he is.

Last couple of seasons? He was outstanding in 2015. He was also good in the 2nd half of 2016.

He's been playing in a very poor team this year. I've rewatched the 2015 GF several times (my son loves watching matches repetitively) and he was immense, mainly in defence where he was covering a huge area. The try he set up for McGuire was superb from him (and Briscoe). He will have lost a bit of confidence this season, which is one area where Bennett excels. In any event he'll be in the team so I hope he plays out of his skin - along with the rest of the team.

He is without a doubt the most naturally gifted centre in Super League - and I'd say has all the attributes to be one of, if not the best centre in the world. He's big, strong, fast, good hands, runs good lines, great motor and is a brilliant defender.

His problem is that he doesn't impose himself on either the game or his opposite number - or certainly not often enough. He should be demanding the ball, and often. I think a big part of his issue is actually his quiet and unassuming personality - he needs a bit of 'jeremy hunt' in him. If he had a Justin Hodges type attitude, where he wanted to destroy and humiliate the opposition at every opportunity, you'd see a much more consistent performer.

I doubt if any opposition see Watkins as a major threat anymore.
It's no big deal, indeed rather enjoyable, when he's got a Leeds shirt on but is cringeworthy watching him in an England shirt.

Think that is spot on. I think of someone like Sean Long, when he stepped onto a pitch you knew he wanted to be the main guy and the star of the show. If Watkins had that kind of mindset he'd be so much better but as you said he has a bit of a quiet, I'll just wait for something to come my way approach.
