But is he likely to give up rep games to play here? I doubt it. It's the usual come and give me money or I'm off stuff

he has played enough rep footy. won a grand final. so i beleive its all show me the money now . europe super league

I agree.



Unlikely he would give up his rep career.



However .....the article says......



'[i''I have a couple of kids to feed,'' Watmough said. ''If I can't start getting the runs on the board, I can't get them set up for the rest of their lives. You don't get long in football so hopefully I can get as much out of it as I can.



''If it [changing clubs makes their life a lot easier, I'd be happy with that. I have a young family and a young girlfriend. If I can set them up - I'm 26 now so there's not long to go. I want to hopefully have enough money to retire and never work again. I just want to get that bit of stability there."

Maybe he will join Bradford with his old mate Beaver!!!!

Or now he's limped off the pitch - Wigan

go to the giants

Clubs have $4.1 million to contract 25 players, with a minimum salary of just over $50,000, setting an effective upper limit of about $500,000 for the game's best players, such as Thurston, Darren Lockyer and Cameron Smith.

Bring him to Leeds please.

He's the best back rower in the NRL and teams would be throwing money at him if he left Manly, there's no way he'll come to SL while he's the top forward and he's playing for NSW and Aus. Hope i'm wrong but i very much doubt it, he'll stay at Manly.

He had a decent game against Leeds in the WCC warm up game this year.



I'm sure he is just making the 'I need a pay rise or I might have to leave' noise though

He isn't worth more than he is on.





The bloke has the brain of a cold fish. I'm sure he has already forgotten the crap he was rambling on with. Hell the next day he started talking about wanting to be a role model....PLEASE!

Whoever signs him in UK,just keep him away from your sponsors at the season launch !!

got history i believe so wouldn't get a visa anyway IIRC

A few big players are off contract at Manly next year also.



So:



1. They realease them and keep him with the money they save.



2. They let him go and spread the money to the likes of Kieron Foran and other youngsters coming through.





I personally, think they'll do 2.

He just got owned big time by the Melbourne pack. There goes his bargining power!!



Looking at these he'll fit right in at HFC!
