That was the best I've seen Widdopp play in ages. As a plus Tom and Sam played pretty well in a well-beaten Souths side as well.

Joseph Greenwood got knocked out in a head clash and had to be taken off during the Gold Coast Titans loss to New Zealand Warriors.

As I've rarely got much positive to say about Widdop, it's only fair I give him some credit on hid last couple of performances. He was very good this weekend, and finally appears to be playing with his eyes up and playing what's in front of him, rather than just sticking to a boring structure relentlessly even when it's not working.
Hopefully the improvements can keep coming and he can be the half back England need.

Yes, this. He has been very good in the last few games. |

He's played already, hasn't he? Although maybe not started.

Picked a terrible club to join, Canberra have 2 quality centres and a pretty good second row, If I were him I would be asking big questions of his agent

The other things helping Widdopp are a far better forward pack which actually bends the line, and a complete rethink in attack. Last year they were probably the most conservative team in attack, and played very flat close to the opposition line. This year they've added a bit of depth which is giving Widdopp more time.
I'm still not entirely convinced by him, but the current signs are encouraging.

Not in the NRL no, played in the Nines and was rather average. He's played a few games for Mounties at SO but hasn't played the last 1/2 |

Only 2 tries, 4 conversions, a penalty and a field goal from Widdop today in his nineteen point haul.
Sure is making some on here eat the pie of humbleness.
