I like Widdops style.
No Hollywood about him and goes about his business in an unspectacular fashion.
His short kicking game inside the oppo's 20 today was very good and pressure accumulating.
I would also agree with you about Cooper and looks a shoe-in for international reconition imminently.

Gareth.

England now has a luxury of choices in the props and hooker positions. What a pity that the selector has no such luxury in choosing whom to partner Gareth Widdop.

Halifax a very underrated place.

He has stated more than once that he hopes to play for Halifax one day.

Widdop is a very classy no nonsence player who should be England first choice No6, but why would Leeds want him? If you watched the youngsters they had playing last night they won't need to be splashing out for years to come I just wish our club could find the likes of the lads Leeds get.

Leeds already have Liam Sutcliffe and a resurgent Daniel McGuire. Why do they need Gareth Widdop? McGuire is the resilient past. Sutcliffe is the exciting future.

Show us the evidence -- preferably on a website rather than a secret conversation you think that you have overheard -- which will prove the truth of that unlikely statement.
