| I didn't catch much of the Canberra game today but it was a big win for them over Wests, Whitehead scored and Hodgson was subbed late in the game when the CAnberra win was well in the bag, from what I heard with the commentators Hodgsons impact was excellent although he didn't score.

Whitehead more impressive than Hodgson today.
Lovely hands to put Rapana in for the first, then bagged one himself.
Looked more comfortable back in his position than when he was covering for Croker at centre.

I thought he showed a few good touches when at left centre the last 2 weeks but really struggled defensively, looks a lot better back in the right 2nd row position

Very strong defensively with his usual decent kicking game. He's looked a little more creative so far this season than last season

I'd have said he was near his best - so average. Tackled well (as he always does), kicked ok, created nothing ball in hand.
Whilst it was a good win for St George, the Sharks were flat and the worst they've played for over a year, but St George only scored 2 tries, one from a kick (not Widdop) and one long range breakaway from a dropped ball... Other than the 2 fairly lucky tries, they created nothing all day - but did defend very well against an albeit poor attacking performance from the Sharks.

| Big Eight in the NRL:
1. Melbourne Storm,
2. Sydney Roosters
3. Brisbane Broncos, Canberra Raiders,
5. North Queensland Cowboys,
6. Penrith Panthers, Cronulla Sharks
8. Canterbury Bulldogs
So only Englishmen who will feature in the finals are Joshua Hodgson, Elliot Whitehead, and James Graham, with Jordan Turner at Canberra a possible replacement centre if a first choice is injured.

South Sydney are no hope without Gregory Inglis, so the Burgess boys will not feature in the finals, mark my words.
St George-Illawarra have done well so far, but don't have the talent roster to enable Gareth Widdop to feature in the top 8 at season's end.

I actually agree with you regarding Souths but I think St George have a shot at the 8 this year

| Widdop very effective in another SGI victory.
Leading competition point scorer after four rounds and must be the best tackling 6 in the comp.
Don't think the Dragons have enough to bother the big boys but starting to show belief and must be well in the mix for the play-offs.

| What a performance from Gareth Widdop, one of England's finest rugby league talents. He will pose a challenge to the superb and brilliant Theodore Fages in the England vs France game.
