Bring back the Boyd Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I think this is good business for Salford. Watson appears to believe in his players and has the ability to install the same self belief in his playing staff, a lot of whom have been cast off or written off. It’s not too long ago when Watkins was one of the first names on the England team and I hope he can recapture his form of old. Good luck to both parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Happy to see Watkins get a gig. Hopefully with a fair amount of rest he can put his injury problems behind him and after an off season over in Australia he looked as fit as he has been in a long time. He is still only 29 and could have a few good seasons left. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

ghost crayfish Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 This is great news. I thought he looked fully fit and ready to fire at the start of the year. If he'd stayed at gold coast I reckon he'd be going great now, so I'm confident there's good footy ahead for Kallum Watkins. A world cup next year would be a big motivator for him too.

Futtocks Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 He was starting to look like his old self this season. Salford may well have snapped him up at the right point in his career.

RigbyLuger Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 A race with Hull KR and union? They may have won by default. Hope he finds his form back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrisbaneRhino Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Really happy for him. Like a few Brits going to the NRL he chose the wrong club to go to (Ryan Hall at the Roosters was always daft given their depth on the wings) and he shouldn't have tried to play last year, as he was embarrassing himself. If he gets fit he's a super player, one of the very few English SL outside backs with real physical presence. A shame he didn't stay at the Titans as they are starting to look more promising than for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG70 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Outstanding signing by Salford if Watkins can hit the heights of previous years, every chance he will do so under Watson, and that backline of Escare, Sarginson, Sio, Lolohea etc looks extremely dangerous with the addition of Watkins.

Yes, I believe he joined the Salford Academy as a kid before moving to Leeds. As a Wigan lad it would have meant the world to me to have represented the club if I was good enough.
