Watson is marked as "Unattached" in the EPS announcement - apparently Leicester were unable to afford to re-sign him with salary cap limits and their budget at the end of the season. England are paying for him on a training contract until the end of the RWC and it's "understood" that Leicester are heavy favourites to re-sign him at the end of the RWC, using the money freed up by Harry Potter's exit spread over a shorter period and the RFU encouraging this because they want him to stay available for England.

Lots of speculation in the article about this being a possible template for hybrid contracts with players going forwards and this leading to increased access and control for England.

Suspect there'll be a couple of clubs a little irked that Leicester are being given a hand by the RFU when no-one else is though.

Wasn't Te'o on his way overseas when that happened though? Wasn't really the same situation of benefitting a Prem team by taking on his salary for part of the time away.

Possibly, but I'd be really surprised if Cinti and Gonzalez didn't get very competitive offers from France - they're current internationals and exactly what a T14 or PD2 side would be looking for.

Might have been tough for them to get deals that covered the world cup period. Deals starting after the world cup finished were probably plentiful but would probably evaporate if a serious injury occurred though.
