  He's ok I still think a genuine 7 like Sam Williams is the sort of player this team needs

    X2 on a one year deal can't hurt

  Seems like all everyone is concerned about is every possible signing's defence ...maybe IDG can play half. At least he can tackle.

  But back to the original question, IMHO Watson would be a good pick up. Has had FG experience this year and done OK. Should only get better.

  Played 12 games. Made 144 tackles and missed 15. But has 26 tackle breaks, 6 linebreaks, 5 try assists and 3 tries.

    Everyone is scared of another sandow situation. It is true that a good half doesnt necessarily need to be a good defender (i.e. thurston) but he must be at least ok. Sandow was well well well below nrl standard and now all parra fans are shit scared of the thought of another similar defender in the line.

  Watson is a good talent but he's a running half. He doesn't have much in terms of creative play-making skills or direction. With Pearce running the show at the Roosters, Watson takes the line on and goes to the line often. 

  We need a bit of a director when it comes to the halves alongside Norman. Someone with a good kicking game, that can lead the side around and take control, allowing Norman to target opposition defences with his own running game.

    Roosters are now in a position of 4 halves. Can see them letting 1 go, which can only be Watson or Hastings.

    Keary has just signed and Pearce in contract and their leader.

  He looks like a pretty good player but unless were are going for an established halfback i think goal kicking ability should be a factor in who we sign

    We have signed a goal kicking half, why is everybody writing this guy off? I'm sure BA, and Fogarty himself, signed to play NRL. Its up to him now to prove he is of NRL standard, and he isn't afraid to tackle.
