I have a bad feeling that Leeds will sign both Hastings and Maloney and we will be stuck signing somebody like Watson Boas :shock:

All the comments from Leeds about Watkins' contract though are made by Hetherington and not Sinfield.
That shows who's running the players contracts and it ain't Sinfield.
Poor Kev has just been hired as a front man to take the blame off Hetherington in the current Leeds blame culture.
Poor Kev/? the most overrated overhyped player in SL history with the personality of a busted rugby ball,he has made a right cock up of the Lees job and i for one have little sympathy.
Whilst he never caught the eye with a huge tackle or line break or amazing bit of skill, he marshalled the team for a decade and his trophy cabinet is huge.

Ironically the exact type of player Wigan actually need. Experienced, game manager with an amazing kicking game and rugby IQ.

He looks a shadow of the player he was unless he took a big pay cut he’s not worth the chance.

That said I think it’s a wee but shitty the way Leeds have gone about this but that’s up to them

Well there is a surprise. Another club besides Wigan finds out if you sign a contract with a player to pay him £x and then ask him to take a pay cut he isn't happy.

Yup does sound awfully similar to Sam last season doesn’t it?
