What What What!!!!!

“It was a massive achievement for me, especially after only playing a couple of NRL games,” Widdop, who as a kid supported Bradford and Brisbane and looked up to Darren Lockyer, admits.

Is this correct? He goes down a couple of pegs in my book if that's the case - just a demi god now..

Yes it has been mentioned on here before. Gareth is a Brad**** fan.

His dad Gary fell out with Fax and the regime at the time BIG time!! having been Fax fans all their lives jumped ship to the Bulls.

Aren't most folk in Fax Bulls fans?

He didnt impress too much last night against Manly as the Storm were steamrolled. He had a very average game in fact deputising for Cooper Cronk. Methinks his best position is stand-off as he looked a little lost at scrum half.

If you get a chance to watch the game you should, it was one of the most incredible first halves i have seen in a long time. Full of aggression and the first try was breath-taking. There was an unfortunate stoppage for a suspected neck injury to David Williams (fortunately not too bad it transpires) then straight after two monster brawls, the likes of which i havnt seen in decades (if ever). It will be interesting to see what the repercussions are as i forsee quite a few long bans as a consequence.
