The fact that MC and MR are on longer contracts made the decision for him. If Watson was contracted until 2021 and Reynolds was out of contract this summer, Reynolds would have left and Watson would have stayed.

Worth noting that Connolly and Reynolds had very good seasons and not horrendous as you say. So Watson leaving makes sense to me assuming we replace him with someone better which I expect to happen.
In your opinion they are at the same level. I thought Watson was more level headed and steadier than both of them. And I wasn't stating that Connolly and Reynolds were horrendous, although I see it might have looked that way. I like both of them for different reasons. You are either the best player in that position or you are not, contracts should never come in to it, it should always be about the best team on the park at the best given moment.
