Watkins has done that to better players than Welham, to be fair.

...and now, [url=http://www.loverugbyleague.com/news_19850-off-the-record-rugby-league-transfer-gossip-5.htmlRiley[/url. A bit of a ginger theme developing!

It's political correctness gone mad.

I blame Corbyn.

Please god no!!!!

I still can't decide if I wanted him to stay or not. He's had a good season to be fair and has a great try scoring record, lots of SL experience.. I can't understand the people saying 'God no', if you come up you'll be a lower half side which Welham has proved he is capable of, if you lose on Saturday Welham would be a very good championship centre. His defensive reads are his biggest flaw, flying out of the line when it's not needed. Not always clinical putting his winger away and has lost some pace, but this year he has been good for us. He is apparently on a lot of dough because we offered him a lot when his stock was high and bigger clubs were sniffing around. Now we don't want to pay him that much any more as his stock has fallen and we want better value I assume, it's a shame but can't blame him for looking elsewhere. He's a good bloke, no on or off field discipline issues and I think he'd be a good signing for

you.

You've not sold him to me.



I think the "God no" above is aimed at Riley.

It most certainly was!

I tried to give a balanced opinion on him, but it doesn't really work when you just read the negative and ignore the positives



The 2 seasons prior to this one I'd give you 'God no' bad, but he's redeemed himself enough this season for me to stick up for him

Just jesting my friend. I think he'd be a decent addition. He's always seemed to play well against us. He wouldn't be guaranteed a starting spot as our current centres are both signed up for next year but competition is good.



The only negatives comments I've seen in the past were on your forum about him being a "revolving door". He was linked with us a couple of years back.

Yeah at his worst, revolving door isn't far off. Although I put some of that down to our defensive structure under Sandercock, we tended to go umberella style trying to shut the attack down before it got out wide which usually leaves your centres as the fall guy. In reality if everyone inside you goes, you aren't left much choice but because you are the last man to come in it looks like it's your fault.

He has been much improved this year defensively, and has developed an awesome fend to compensate for his loss of a yard of pace, makes good metres coming from your own end. If he signs I hope he goes well if he plays like he has this season you'll all be happy with him I reckon.

He has ,admirably, stuck to his socialist roots, but I'm afraid he is trying to disguise his ginger roots.
