Looks like Mitchell pearce is on his way out of Newcastle Knights due to sexting another woman. Looks like the club are saying he is on the outer and him being there is now causing a divide in the locker room indicating it was another players Wife/Girlfriend.
1. If he is moved on it could free up a return for Widdop back to the NRL.
2. Potentially he might want to get away from the limelight if it goes wrong, and may be an option for us?

Not sure how viable it would actually be to come over here as his wedding as been called off, although they have said it's due to covid not because of this. But even if he does move on it could still pave the way for Widdop. Which would suddenly free up alot of money for us to make a play for someone else......but who?

It’s like an “Only Connect” question, I think I’ll need a few more clues and that’s without the distraction of Victoria’s décolletage.
Happy New Year everyone.

Probably another misfit on a huge contract.
I think we've been here before

My "horned viper" agrees

Widdop isn’t going anywhere

Victoria Coren Mitchell Pearce, is that the answer CH?

Yeah i don't think he is either which is a shame for him if his Family stay in Aus.

It's not a shame at all if he gets himself settled down, price gets sacked and we get a new coach who uses him properly, for his kicking game especially.

Can't disagree with this

Let's get the positivity flowing before the season kicks off...want away marquee player becomes a hostage of fortune aiding and abetting the sacking of hapless coach

U R a one!

Haha works for me. Seriously though I just don't think we will be able to get a better player than widdop at this stage so if he is happy to be with us then I'm happy with that.

I agree CW8 freeing up the money works if it can be better spent on a replacement or elsewhere.if the coach wants to shuffle the line up or has a ready made replacement coming through the ranks

As it stands we are a better squad with him than not and having his wages in the bank imo as he wasn't stealing a living a la Roberts/Asatosi and doesn't appear to be a disruptive influence like Pogba at United

He's not a disruptive influence and he is a good professional, but he may just not be that good any more: injuries and age have taken their toll.
