.....in SL ? Both English too.

It's exciting to think how this pair will grow in stature, ability and threat to other teams. The rest of the present three-quarter line aint bad either

Still a long way to go but i wouldn't swop ANY of them for the other young English backs out there in their positions.

well, maybe Lee Smith for Sam Tomkins

No doubt you get the opposition fans who pipe up with 'watkins aint fit to lace wheelers boots', 'charnley is 1000 times the player hall will ever be'

blah blah

Sure there are other good young english centre and wingers in super league, but I don't think any other team has the total package we do in that respect, of good young english players who have it all in potential ability.

Watkins, hall, BJB and hardaker all have the potential to get better and better. They aren't too shabby as they are now.

People trot out the old cliches about an ageing team but our team is suddenly looking very fresh.

Smith is utility outside back and far from been an emerging youngster.

The team is getting younger gradually too,not as old as last year

Agree with you, I don't think there's a 3/4 line up in the all of Superleague that is better than our first choice selection.

Wardle & Cudjoe both young centres at the Giants.

We have a real industrious pack which is really mixing it as well, if they get on the front foot, and with Webb, McGuire, Sinfield, and Burrow looking dangerous, this backline could really run riot. Watkins is looking a class apart at the moment, Hardaker has a great running game and has that try scoring instinct which just comes natural, but Watkins has all the skills and is looking really explosive.

I've only seen the highlights granted but was very impressed with Watkins.

They couldn't handle him G and he was involved alot more than the highlights suggest and also very strong defensively.

Excellent.

I really hope he fulfills his potential. He's heading in the right direction.

Set up some tries with some amazing footwork.

Expand it, do we have the best in super league? forget age.

who else would you want to have?

Watkins is delivering, a joy to watch, and he is full of beans.

Remember rhinos are past it!

Just watched shenton in the Bradford game

I've been watching him for years now and still don't get the hype

What's the difference between Atkins and a really good centre?

The letter 'W'.


Might not be the truest thing, but I like the gag.

Watkins made a fool of his opposition last night, certainly on the up and close to wiping all those flicks into touch from memory, Hardaker also looked good against little opposition but he still cannae pass!

Agree with everything apart from the last.

Took far too long for the penny to drop

So true though!

As a gag OK, but in reality Watkins is by far a superior player with plenty more to come, meanwhile IMO Atkins is at his peak.

Never rated him at all. TVOC wanted us to sign him. I said Owen was a better prospect. Looks like both are shanter.

If they can develop hardaker physically in the coming years like they have watkins he can be devasting. Compare watkins build now to when he made his debut in 2008!!!

They're going to be the dogs bollox!!

Watkins' footwork is unbelievable. The amount of times he stands up his opposite number and goes around them is ridiculous. Makes it look easy!

Watkins is already 1 of the best 2 or 3 centres in SL already, and I think he has has as much potential as Sam Tomkins at the same age. I just hope he can stay fit.

BJB has been excellent too, it wouldn't surprise me if he forces his way into the England team if he maintains his form.

Owen was shocking last night, didnt know his from his elbow

Injury seems to have spoilt what was a promising youngster, maybe he can shake it off but it's sink or swim this year with the way Mathers was dumped to give him a run at FB
