Sharks five-eighth Anthony Watts yesterday revealed how a mid-season phone call from Cronulla assistant coach Jim Dymock fast-tracked his dream of playing in the NRL.
"I was playing Premier League at the Roosters," Watts said. "I'm a halfback or five-eighth but I was playing on the wing with a lot in front of me.
"Jimmy called up a few weeks back and said there was an opportunity at the Sharks if I wanted it. I jumped at it.
"I still can't believe I am going to being playing first grade."
In a strange twist, Watts will be playing against his former teammate Jamie Soward, who also changed clubs mid-year.
