It wasn’t just Watkins though. Hedges and Ratboy II were playing well as were McCrorie and Ferguson. Plus Hayes was actually fit. The 3-5-2 worked for the first few months, not just because of Watkins (although he did fit the system well), but also because it caught a lot of teams off guard and our wing backs were fit and fresh.
Other teams sussed out how to play us by pushing us deeper taking away some of the wing back attacking threat.
I would take Griffith’s over Watkins as a permanent signing. They would probably be about the same age and want the same wages so no real difference there.
