Possibly mate but Holbrook might give him a chance at Titans.

Only time will tell.

Be better to judge him next season I think but he looks to have lost so much weight last 12 months. He really needs to bulk up in the off season.

Hope he can make it back to his best.

Yes he looked awful in SL, no chance of ripping up the NRL from where he was. He does need a full pre season for sure and to get his sharpness back and as you say bulk up. With Holbrook joining that should help him a bit. Good luck to him

Wish him so much luck but the odds aren't in his favour I'm afraid.

Looked a shadow of himself at Leeds early season and nowhere near SL mid table standard so to go to the NRL mid season and make any kind of positive impact on one of the lesser teams was always a tough ask.

Can see him at a lower level SL club at the end of next season and then, sadly, a downward spiral from there.

Hate to see it but the knee injury has done him.

Hardaker had the same problem in coming here when he was playing badly in a poop Leeds team.

Watkins' technique was horrible yesterday - he needs to understand he's not the big centre in the NRL he was in SL and bend his back when tackling.

Sadly his injury has finished him at the highest level

Kallum's problems are more mental than physical I think. SOmething McD stated a year or so back, when he was happy with Kallum's mental state. Until he gets that confidence back he will not be back to his physical best. In the pressure pot of the NRL that is going to be harder to attain.

Fingers crossed he gets it back.

He has too much talent for it to go 5 years before it should
