Connor Watson

[Nelson]

Dont know where he is headed but this what jumped out when i read the NRL article

Playing against his potential employers next season in a position he's not used to, Watson stole the show at fullback with _134 running metres, two line breaks and eight tackle busts_ in a performance that caught the eye of Knights coach Nathan Brown.

I know many here have said he is unproven talent but if he is consistent with these numbers he will be a super star for sure (IMO)

He was alright, he did some dopey things too. I thought he was going to carve up he Knights and VC'ed him in Supercoach. He wasn't a complete bust but I definitely won't be using the VC loophole this week…

Yes, but it was only against Newcastle.

Same as when we had a great game against them. There were people on here saying "it was only against Newcastle'.

So does that mean he will be a superstar, but only when he plays against Newcastle or are a lot of people wrong on here and Newcastle are a reasonable opposition?

thats why i had added "if he is consistent with these numbers"

Knights are going rubbish but they are not getting flogged 50 Zip, i give them some credit for having a dig.
I remember CW doing well against us too :frowning:

 

[TigerTone]

ok , this is how it is IMO. If CW has actually signed with the knights as stated in
the link below , which was dated 14/7/2017.
Then the ten day COP ends next friday. Unless they include the weekend
in the COP , it will end as soon as Monday.

[charlii72]

Shame, would've preferred him over Lolohea

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Yep he's stated many times that he wanted to play 5/8 and we couldn't offer that because we have Reynolds coming, so the Knights it is.

Another dumb decision by this club

Nope, we made the right choice.

Once Lolohea looses a few kilos and with a tough pre-season. He will kick Watson's arse.

 

[Spacecub]

Ive stated on here and i will stand by my words…we have signed rubbish for next year...Connor Watson was the only truely promising player...from a winning culture...and we panic and bought reynolds

And Lolohea is also a Goal-Kicker, something we need in 2018

Last time I checked, Watson doesn't kick goals

 

[TIGER]

Good maybe now we can all move on from our Connor Watson obsession.

Yes but only after..The Roosters utility has been granted an early release from his contract …

Tui may be a goal kicker …. but the jury's out if he can kick goals under pressure.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Calling it now, 50 pages before the end of the week and the conversation will have turned to the Rooster's salary cap or, even better, Tedesco and Woods.

Bingo!

Where do I cash out?

That could never happen….impossible

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Yep he's stated many times that he wanted to play 5/8 and we couldn't offer that because we have Reynolds coming, so the Knights it is.

But that was before Reynolds started on a life of crime. LoL.

Signed rubbish for next year?

What did you expect?

Instead of

Matulino we get Matt Scott

Packer we get Andrew Fifita

McQueen we get Boyd Cordner

Reynolds we get Jack Bird

Fonua we get Josh Mansour

Milne we get Jamea Roberts

Lolohea we get Moylan
???????
We did pretty well for where we are at the moment and thw player's we have lost.
Most quality player's stayed loyal to their clubs and we had to pay a little extra for the player's we got but i still think we sis alright.
If only our star player's cared about our club we might be looking alright for next year but Turde$co and Sharon didn't give a toss.
Let's juat give IC some time to fix what has been a shamblea for eternity before we get too carried away
