From what I could gather, it would appear that he was missing his family ( a big thing in PNG) unlike here any more. His love for his two lads looks amazing and I for one can fully appreciate that, I'm not commenting on his contract hicup thats for the big boys. What I do feel is that the Family tie is huge and I would not criticise a bloke for that. On the playing side of things if he can get up to any where near fitness he is class and that's in short supply in this League. Another body to the ranks and huge cover at half back or hooker IMO.
Feel free to argue against his return but I would sooner he was in our squad than some other teams squad.(not aimed at you DM)

Cheers, Wilf. I suspect most people's first reaction on a human level would be that he let us down and left us in a tricky position. Previously, he's always seemed of good character and a decent guy, which is why I suspect there may be more to it than meets the eye.
I agree that family loyalty is huge - something that does sadly seem to be in decline in this country these days. Surely, if Watson had family issues, the Dons would have viewed the situation compassionately, as they did with Josh Veacock?
The involvement of lawyers and Watson appearing to sign for another club muddies the waters somewhat.
I'm going to respect the club's decision - if he has returned to play for us - as only they know the full facts. I hope the other players are onboard with the decision as well though.
The aim is to get out of this League, owt else can wait.
