No Watkins named in team for Wigan. Injured already? Surely not dropped?

Wrist injury, according to the Leeds rhinos twitter feed.

Oh dear ! Looks like poor old Ablett will need to step up to cover centre yet again

Well worth a 5 year deal.

What a windy fecker

I suspect they have one eye on next week. if he has strained it theres no point in risking him this week

Agreed, because the NRL pre-season friendly fixture next week is far more important.

Flaming biscuit bones. When's Keef fit???

Just a waste of a first team shirt if you ask me - this young lad has spent more time on the treatment bench than he has on the pitch. We should get rid of him now before he matures into a solid first team regular and potential representative player. Just like we should have got rid of JJB when he was picking all those injuries when he was a youngster.

Hope he doesn't sneeze this coming week.

Might tear a pectoral muscle.

Only chance to get a season worth of work out of him. Somewhere there's a bloke who looks like Bruce Willis who's just realised he's indestructible.

Beginning to think this lad will go the way of Ash Gibson. His wrist was 12 weeks last year?

Always positive!!

You do love nothing better than when Leeds don't do well or a chance to slag the team off. Or get a bite

Think that win against Hull KR last week took a lot out of Leeds tonight ?

That's why our resident troll mysteriously disappeared when we took the championship last year.

He slips nearer and nearer his default setting of "AP" with every post.

Yes it is. A win against Manly on Friday is worth far more to the club than 2 points away at Wigan.

Totally agree, next week we have a chance to become World Champions. Anyone who's says it does not matter next week should be shot at dawn

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the competition, and if whatever the result next week, you only get a trophy for winning one of these two games, and let me give you a clue, it's not the round 2 one at Wigan...

Agreed

sad aint he

My fear too

Don't worry kallum, some people don't play super league, they just like to pretend they could handle it

Sad, not only for Leeds, but for RL in general if this becomes the case. 2 centres with all the potential in the world. Ash still shows glimpses (usually against Saints) of what he could have become. Lets hope this is just precautionary in the case of Watkins.

On a side note, I wasted £20+ today. The only reason I went to the game was to watch Watkins and to find out when I get to my seat that he wasnt playing was a whole heap of disappointment. Had I found out on the way over I would have turned around and gone home.

On a positive note, at least you got to see the world's best winger. That's when you could find him on the wing.

Also had the privilege of giving Damo-Leeds a lift back home too...

I can confirm he is not you

Two of a kind.
