| I read today where Davidson thinks Gale and Newman will be good to go for week 1. Means that theres less of a selection headache at least.

| I didn’t think we’d make much progress for 2021 but we have ended up with some intriguing signings, plus a good closed season into our upcoming talent.
Still don’t think we are quite there yet but if we get some luck with injuries for once then wouldn’t rule anything out. What is good is that we have fewer obvious weaknesses now which means we should be past major surgery and into tweaking stage now.

| I will be extremely surprised if Newman plays round 1 or any fixtures in the first month of the season.

You are correct we are past the major surgery and the early, mid recovery stage , but there is a hell of alot of tweaking to get to the standards of Wigan and Saints .

McClelland is injured isn't he? They've been running Myler and Sutcliffe in the halves before Eastmond came in.

Not 'rushing' player is a funny one. You can give someone a rolls Royce come back, but then one unfortunate tackle later that's it. Just ask Stevie Ward, or Don Manfredi.
The longer I observe sport, I kinda think that when your ready you should get back in as soon s possible. Mentally best thing imho..
Nothing wrong with from bench, 15-20 mins....

That didn't work for Watkins though. He was definitely brought back too early. He wasn't actually anything like fit until the start of last season

Perhaps. But you have to play for a fair while before you k back to your best. Running up and down a treadmill cam only go on so long.....
What makes you think Watkins was rushed back out of interest?

Pre Injury Watkins was arguably one of our all time top 5 centres. Utterly unrecognizable on his premature return.
Hmmm...Leeds top 5 Centres of all time...Hynes, Dyl, Senior, Watkins Godden (assumes Lewis Jones was a Stand Off)

He will have gone through and passed all the rehab milestones...
Just lost something with the injury, probably confidence more than anything with Watkins. agree back on good form now......

Sounds like me to be fair, except replace some days with every day and replace running with doing next to nothing.
