You're very easily impressed if you think that Widdop is Brilliant
IMO Joey Johns & Wally Lewis were both Brilliant
Widdop is sadly a million miles away from players of that ilk and I don't know what you see in him that makes him so Brilliant in your opinion, so please enlighten me of why he is so Brilliant

I thought Widdop was very good also. He is not the best tactical kicker but he did everything else really well.
I think we lost out at dummy half today and our forwards were just a little too predictable. In the past offloads have troubled Australia. They don't like playing against teams that break up their pattern. It's risky but we just can't beat them at the percentage game, especially not with the poor passes we had coming out of dummy half and another baffling performance from the referee awarding totally random PTB penalties.
I also thought the most disappointing part of the performance was that it took till the game was totally fine before someone gave an Australian a slap. Watkins should have stuck one on Cronk first half, he'd already been penalised (wrongly). This was a test match.

Well IMO Johns and Lewis were far above that. I just think Widdop shows a lot of skills that would be great with an excellent scrum half.
I don't remember such a fuss of corrections to the average selection of players we ourselves have had over the years, that some now even call "legends". So don't get the fuss.

The same coaching staff said McGuire was excellent whilst you said he was dreadful, and the same coaching staff you call incompetent most weeks on here
Just highlighting what has to be the one poster on here who comes out with the worst evaluations of player performances I've ever heard....Widdop brilliant when he's come up with three schoolboy errors in 2 games that's cost us points every time. Really don't know what you watch or if you've ever actually played the game in your life, doesn't sound like it.

| My feelings are that in general play we can certainly live with the kiwis and Australia. Over the two games I think the game management side of things is what we miss. Drop kicks turned down, interceptions against the kiwis, and penalties missing touch are only small parts of a game, but the cost us points on each occasion. The Aussies just dint give points away, you have to earn them.
I'm not sure what Bennett has added yet, it may be that he needs a period of time to get us where he wants.
Biggest disappointment has been Sam burgess. So much hype but he's been a pretty average player giving the ball away and numerous penalties. Another player ruined by Union

| We won't beat them by playing the game their way, that's for sure.
Reduce the level of over-protection the modern player enjoys - and reduce the number of subs
Play the f****rs at Millwall, Workington, wherever - just remove them from their comfort zone and make sure the pitch is narrow and the in-goal short
Play them in January
Put the refs and touchies in front of a hostile crowd
Wane as coach
I'd pay to see that and probably enjoy it even if we lost. The current fare is simply rubbish.

Yet I don't call a HB whose 99% of people will agree had a very average showing at best "excellent" and resort to repetitively using a childish name when addressing me. Honest question have you ever played the game, because your views on the game and performances seriously suggests you haven't.

I agree, part of the problem could be the bloke has basically played 3 seasons back to back, including a RU World Cup and the 4 nations.

I have a different view to you, that says more about you than me, considering you only started supporting as a badwagoner when successful. My comment about Widdop was about him, not his performance today, which I didn't discuss.
I have had several pm's requesting me to ignore you, due to this constantly happening. In view of consideration for them, I respectfully ask you to jog on mate.
