I dont think ANYONE is offended but, it just isn't going to help.
Any parent would want to see their son/daughter prosper in their chosen field but, ranting about it publicly will probably hinder their chances of progress, Bennett in this case isn't going to move a player up the pecking order because someone has publicly had a moan.
Maybe this is how you think pro teams should sort out their match day squads

My dad's bigger than your dad!!

He probably is

He wouldn't have been bless him, he was only a shorty like me!

Liam Watts hasn't exactly come out backed up his dads comments has he?

This cryarsing individual is hardly going to get his son up the England pecking order by whinging about it and criticising other players selected now is he? I bet truth be told Watts junior is very embarrassed about this.

It's just like an irate parent turning up at a school demanding why their son hasn't been picked for the rugby/football/cricket team and proper spitting their dummy out over it in front of their kid and all his mates.

Cringey behaviour from Watts senior who needs to have a word with himself. I can't think of any other dads of players to have done this in all the years I've followed RL.

Sorry Karen, if we can't have penis comparisons, then we can't have dad comparisons. Its only fair!!

Spoilsport!!

Don’t know about watts but Bennett clearly has his favourites.

How else do you account for Ryan hall getting in ahead of Tom johnstone?

One plays for the RFL’s team and the other plays for Trin!

The one who was selected is better than the one who wasn’t.

This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this is it? Ha ha ha he proper hates Hull doesn’t he?

Not necessarily, look at Gerrard and Lampard for England under Roy Hodgson. Hodgson favoured Gerrard even though Lampard was twice the player.

Is that the same tom johnstone who hasn't even been able to hold down a place in wakey's team all season? Talented kid but looks to have dipped in form this year

Your exaggerated football comment is irrelevant, my point was that Hall is the better of the two wingers.

He hates anyone who dares to deal with the issues his son has. He's been throwing his weight around since Liam was a kid at Lock Lane, and needs to grow up and realise that there's only one person who is stopping Liam from getting an England cap and that's Liam himself.

I do wish you'd wind your neck in with these ridiculous comments.

And for everyone else - this guy does not represent the majority view of WT supporters; I have my doubts that he even is one - he's probably another alter-ego, since that seems to be very much a la mode on RLFans these days.

And another one......

What a plank his dad is!

Noooo, really?? Not seen this one



Edit: Oh dear

I understand as a Father that you want to defend your son. But real life has to kick in at some point. Taylor is a much better player than Watts.

But then again, young Mulhern is better than both (sorry couldn't resist it - its a Rovers/Hull thing).

Most Hull/Rovers things tend to be realistic though!

And also Irish

Don't worry it's fairly obvious.

Only kn08heads send ranting letters into League Express anyway don't they?

It's fast turning into the 'Steve Watts League Express letters page'. The man is quickly turning into an embarrassment to himself and Liam.

Hey Mr Watts, the whole world of Rugby League doesn't revolve around your son, you know.

When already deep in a hole you should stop digging. Can someone please confiscate Steve's shovel?

I see Scott Taylor appeared as a guest pundit on the Super League show this week. Came across quite well too.

No doubt though Steve Watts has now sent typically bitter correspondence to the League Express crying at why the Beeb asked Taylor to appear on the programme instead of his beloved Liam.

I wonder if Liam's idiot of a dad will now finally stop sending embarrassing bitter correspondence to the League Express now his beloved son has been chosen for the England performance squad?
