| As my previous post was 'locked', on the face of it to avoid justified criticism of your new 'illustrious' signing, I address my comments to the hilariously funny and original 'Lefty Goldblatt' and the trolling, banjo-playing, 'Rubber Dickie'. First, yes Goldblatt, I have polished my shoes, I always do, I have manners, do you whitewash your trainers? Secondly, my banjo-wielding friend, yes I did watch the match but I base my comments on the fact that Widdop clearly ain't now good enough to play NRL and is hoping for a last pay-day with the team with the best track-record of signing over-rated has-beens.

| We've just had an insight in to what Widdop looks like in a mediocre and uninspiring side, which isn't able to impose itself on its opponents.
If we were hoping that Widdop was going to be the guy with background at the top of the NRL, to reignite an average GB side, we were disappointed.
This doesn't mean he is a bad player but he might not be a player who is going to have a transformational impact on an otherwise pedestrian side. How he looks playing for GB might be a better predictor of how he will look for us than watching clips of him playing in St George Illawarra's best days.

Think we might also keep Charnley & Lineham on the wings & Austin in the halves.

We've just had an insight into how Hastings MOS would have looked in the second half of the season at Warrington. I don't what the answer is to our problems, but I hope Price has worked it out.

He’ll be playing for a higher quality SL side than he was an NRL side (in relation to how both sides are in their own league) and when he was fit last season he had some brilliant performances.
