Looks like he's been disowned by the nrl a la Carny and Sandow would saints take a punt on him ?

He'd be an amazing signing , we'll probably pass though as that would be showing some ambition
If we can get him he is the man we need!
Add Luke Lewis as a leader in the pack and surround him with the good quality youngsters we have in the forwards and we will be on our way to some decent recruitment next year

Mitchell Pearce or Matty Smith? Hmm, tough decision

True he's got his issues but Pearce is clearly a talent, he's durable, can organise, has pace and an excellent kicking game. If we aren't in the running, I'd be disappointed
People think Sandow is good, Pearce is ten times better. Every club in the league would be better with him at 7
Love Rugby League alluded to a player moving to Superleague in their off the record column.
"An NRL player is on the move to Super League soon had little choice but to head to the UK. This player has all the skills but has issues off the field and has been involved in a recent incident. One of our Aussie insiders tell is that this player is damaged goods in the NRL and no other club wanted him or could accomodate him. We hope Super League can be a haven for him as it has been for the likes of Todd Carney and Chris Sandow."

Not sure it's a signing that Saints will chase as we have a record of offloading players with emotional baggage.
Edit Where has this rumour originated, I can't find a thing linking him with a move to Superleague?

If there's any truth that Watkins is up for grabs then I'd stop everything we are doing and focus all our attention on signing him. He would instantly change the look and feel of our attack and we would be equally dangerous on both sides with him and Percival; as opposed to things being so lopsided as they are now.
I could even forgive them for signing Matty Smith if we got Watkins.

Whats going on at Leeds all together??!

I said this the other week mate over txt to someone I think. Amongst all the doom and gloom, all it takes is 3 or 4 correct decisions in terms of recruitment and retention (or not) and we would be right back up there. We would still need to play a more expansive style as well to go with it but we certainly don't have any problems that aren't fixable.
It's all going to boil down to what McManus/Rush/Cunningham decide over the next few months. If they are lazy, sympathetic and short-sighted then next year could see us mid-table playing in front of 6000 fans. If they are ambitious, bold and ruthless then we could fear nobody and fans would be back on side.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Will the club or McManus spend to bring top players in?
If hypophetically we signed Mitchell Pearce, Kallum Watkins and Luke Lewis for next season and released Turner, McDonnell, Burns, Walsh, Vea and Owens we'd be right up there and would still have reasonable depth to cover the squad.
It's all about quality rather than quantity next season and there's a good opportunity to release some deadwood and freshen up the squad.
