I will thank Watson for his services to our club over the last couple of seasons. However I will not say he has been our best or most inspirational player.
Look at Chris Hill, Jimmy Taylor, Adam Higson, Dave Mconnell, Aaron Smith, Dave Alstead and Martin Ridyard as better examples of this. Watson has been average but also had the opportunity to develop all our young lads including Hatton and Powell along with Hemmingway for a time. Unfortunately I don't think he trusted his young colleagues enough and decided to take all the responsibility of the half back berth as his own. This has proved detrimental not only to himself but to the team.
Thanks for your efforts Ian and good luck at Swinton .
Unfortunately due to our lack of decent halves I think sometimes some people have expected Watto to do the jobs of a 6, 7 & sometimes 9 all rolled in to one. He might not have been able to do all that himself, but he carried us enough times, and when he was missing we saw how important he was to us. Tackled well above his weight, hardly missed a game and seemed to be a model pro. Thanks for your efforts Ian & good luck at Swinton.
Must admit as a Swinton fan I'm over the moon that he is on his way back to us! Good to see you guys think so much of him, also i'm sure you will bounce back from this!
he played exellent this season & will be missed but every cloud has a silver linning we now have Paul & Ridyard's coming to be a very good & a useful player we'll be reet nothing to worry about at all. Good luck watson i hope you do well in the future
