| 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

No he didn't. He came out of the dressing sheds and was on the field for kickoff.

I watched about 40 mins of Friday's game v the Broncos and he seemed to be having a bit of a poor game.

My bad. I only saw a bit of the match and he seemed to be wearing number 20(?).

agreed. No disrespect to Sarginson, he is a very good honest pro and SL standard back/player, but considering the quality and depth they have in the NRL in the three quarters he falls short in comparison. Same goes for Turner who went to Canberra, he isn't a patch on the backs they have there and never will be. that isn't a sleight, just reality. Can't knock either for trying it mind and they will easily find a club back over here any time so no risk really.

| Quote: WIZEB "Another good piece on Widdop and his red hot form.
As a regular knocker of Widdop, I've been pleasantly surprised by his form so far this year - he finally seems to be playing what's in front of him. I still don't really see him controlling the game though, Josh McCrone is playing that role - Widdop is getting the headlines for the silky plays, but McCrone is stearing the team around the park - Widdop is almost then taking over once in good attacking positions.
It will be interesting to see how he fares when they come across stiff opposition - at the moment, they're comfortably beating the cellar dwellers, but have only just beaten the Sharks and a Cowboys team missing Scott and Thurston - and both the Sharks and Cowboys played terribly against them... I'd like to see how the Saints as a team and Widdop as an individual go when they meet a good team in good form.

He can only prove his worth by letting his football do the talking and he's been excellent so far.
Looks like SGI are trying their hardest to retain him now to play alongside Hunt after looking like he would be surplus to requirements.

They'll be kicking themselves they didn't tie him down early season when he wanted to sign - his asking price will have sky rocketed based on his form.... I still wouldn't hang my hat on him if I were running a club.
