Watkins aims to win silverware

Salford Red Devils centre Kallum Watkins says winning silverware has to be the next target for himself and his team-mates.
Morgan Escare, Krisnan Inu and Joe Burgess and Watkins will link up in the Salford backline, with the Red Devils having reached the Challenge Cup final last season and the Super League Grand Final in 2019, losing out to Leeds Rhinos and St Helens respectively.
The next step for us is to get to a final, but to go on to win it.

Those near misses are clearly being used by Red Devils head coach Richard Marshall to try and inspire his revamped squad and Watkins is relishing the opportunity to try and add to his own medal collection.
The 29-year-old England international won six Grand Final, two Challenge Cups and a World Club Challenge title while with the Rhinos and he hopes to be aiding Salford in challenging for honours in the coming campaign.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "With what the club have achieved over the last couple of years, the expectations are now a lot higher.
"The players that are signed up for the next few years are showing their ambition. We've got some players here that have been at the top and been to big finals and won trophies.
"The expectation for ourselves is to compete as best we can, but a lot of the guys want to be successful in this side.
"The next step for us is to get to a final, but to go on to win it."
Salford can be backed at 41.00 to win the Super League Grand Final next season, while they are 26.00 to lift the Challenge Cup.
