I really like Watson as a football player, but Lamb’s a better half IMO. I think it’s only a matter of time until Lamb finds himself in the 6 jersey. Even still, he won’t be quick to re-sign with us and will hit the open market to test his value. He’ll have plenty of suitors and teams throwing money at him. Whether we can match or will be prepared to, who knows.
An outside thought; Watson could eventually be on the move again. He was signed to decent money to be our five-eighth. IF Lamb beats him out, outside of injury, Watson will likely be bench utility/hooker which is the exact same position he found himself in at Roosters and was unhappy. (That obviously opens up a whole lot of questions about Levi, less so about Griffin, but that’s another discussion.) IF that’s how things play out here, you’d be more inclined to look to move Watson on so he’s happy and can get a start somewhere and put his money towards retaining Lamb, because he won’t be cheap. Would love to keep both, and Levi, but I don’t know if that’s feasible long term.
Just my 2 cents.
