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

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.

It's about time. The guy is 28.

Oh, right.

Elliot Whitehead had a very good game yesterday for Canberra, scoring a try, looking good in attack generally, and tackling like a demon. His British team mate Joshua Hodgson had some spectacular touches, including a perfectly weighted kick into the in goal that enabled a try for Joshua Papalli.

Coming straight on the heels of the sublime performance by Gareth Widdop for St George-Illawarra against the Serbian influenced Manly team, little wonder that Australian TV commentators were noting the contribution of "English players" to the NRL.

At the minute Widdop and Gale in the halves sounds quite appealing.

A cheap penalty given away followed by a shocking failure to tackle by the player identified as ex-Wigan centre Daniel Sarginson early in the Gold Coast's game against Brisbane. Lucky that the rest of his team was doing better than him, and they managed to score two tries against Brisbane by 20 minutes.

Just watched the Canberra game, Whitehead and Hodgson both looking very good at the minute, Hodgson scoring the match winning try.

Not heard much about Dan Sarginson, even though I believe Titans had a bit of an injury crisis. Is he miles away from the first team? Is he likely to be heading back? I know he'll be 'another NRL failure' for whoever signs him (unless it's your club), but he's not going to be struggling for offers

I had my doubts about him holding a spot down, but you can't blame anybody from taking the opportunity if it presents itself
