CHAMPION NSW State of Origin and Australian Test forward Anthony Watmough could be forced to retire effective immediately due to a chronic knee injury.The Parramatta Eels forward, whose four-year deal with the Eels started last season, has been discussing the possibility of hanging up the boots since the start of this year. Watmough, 32, had surgery last July on a chronic knee injury and has since endured a hugely disrupted pre-season at Parramatta due to the injury. Foxsports.com.au has been told Watmough’s knee has degenerated so badly the Eels backrower struggles to train and required painkilling injections to get on the field for the majority of last season. If forced to retire, the champion backrower will depart having accomplished everything there is to achieve in rugby league. Two premierships with the Manly Sea Eagles in 2008 and 2011, 14 State of Origin matches for NSW and 16 Test matches for Australia are among his numerous accolades.
