Also, looks like Jai Arrow is just about to ramp up his rehab with access to innovative rehabilitation equipment which we should be able to catch on a channel 7 exclusive tomorrow night.

The man who could finally awaken the Titans
He’s got a winner’s mentality and that’s exactly what the Titans’ latest recruit hopes to bring to the Gold Coast.
TITANS recruit Kallum Watkins is confident the NRL will bring out the best of him as the England Test star vows to deliver his winner’s mentality to the Gold Coast.
The 28-year-old only touched down in Australia last Friday but has set his sights on adding a positive note to an otherwise forgettable campaign for the Titans.
After helping Leeds claim six Super League title across his 252 matches, Watkins is now ready to test himself against Australia’s best.
Yet his arrival comes just as Gold Coast are mired at 15th on the ladder and have now been rubbed out of finals calculations.
The 100kg centre says he will take “massive” inspiration from the successful relocation of English recruits like South Sydney’s Sam Burgess and Caneberra’s John Bateman.
“All those guys have done really well and it was expected of them because they are quality players,” Watkins said.
“We have a young team so for me it’s about integrating with them and getting the best out of myself.
“I always want to compete and want to win.
“I have always been part of a successful period with Leeds, winning trophies and winning big games.
“I want to help give that experience to the younger guys here.
“Hopefully the NRL will get the best out of me.”
Watkins admits he previously had opportunities to move to the NRL but says the Titans got their timing just right.
“During my time at Leeds I had such good fun and we had a really successful period; my time and my happiness was there,” he said.
“Things change and I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to come and compete in the NRL.
“To come to a club like Gold Coast with fantastic set-up and facilities and people, I’m just looking forward to it.
“Right now is an opportunity and I’m taking it with both hands.”
Reporters are getting so lazy these days. The clip is on the Titans website and all those quotes are answers to leading questions - of course he will say those things. He could be the best player ever but it's not going to be good enough to awaken this team.
Sorry about the rant but journalism these days really grinds my gears.
Leeds have been wonderfully successful over recent years but the article doesn't mention that Watkins has been part of a Leeds team this year that is running equal last. At least he has transitioned to what he'll be part of here.
There is no water tank Mt thats just an illusion….but he may walk on water lets see?
Jordan rapana anyone?
The winemaker on Triple M saying that Kurt Capewell and Manu Ma'u are trying to get here next season. He also says that the Peachey to Penrith deal has been sorted out for next season. Thoughts?
