Not really a big surprise that Widdop and particularly his family are homesick for Aus. In an interview in England in late 2017 he said:

"My wife Carley and Kids Braden,Harper Rose and Willow all call Aus home - and while I do as well, having spent over a decade here, it's like the saying goes, there is no place like home. England will always hold a special place in my heart."

I'm with Lefty on this. If I was offered the chance to work and live abroad witb mg family my first question would be "how will the wife and kids manage?" because if your home life is poor you ain't gonna stick it out no matter what your bank balance.

So, do what most families would do and look at the climate, where you'll be living, what amenities and social life there is, the experiences of others etc.

Frankly, some of our recent imports priority list seems to be :

1). Salary
2). Get-Out Clause
3). Opportunities to sample the fermented delights of the UK

... ...

654). Will the wife and kids like it

Let him go and throw a blank cheque at Sezer.

Infamy
Infamy
They've all got it infamy

I didn't realise Inglis was leaving his kids in Aus, that's a very hard decision to make.
If he only stayed for 1 year and we got a 70% inglis i'd be happy, i just hope he'll come over and be happy here.
Aiden Sezer would be a nice edition to the squad.
The way our luck with halves is going though we'll end up signing Rangi Chase. Literally can't think of anyone free that would add alot to us.
Joe Mellor would do a decent job for us but don't think he has the Quality of the likes of Widdop....but who does?

More like Lorraine Chase

She could fly into Luton Airport

Maybe give Riley Dean a few run outs soon?

‘Halton Lea Shopping Centre’... the place where they stick Widnesian refugees after they escape across the water.

The dinghies going across from West Bank are like the scenes in the English Channel. Boatload of Wid scratters, going over to the Promised Land...... Runcorn

Nowhere to be seen again in today’s lineup. The silence is deafening.

How soon do you think it takes to get over Covid?
My pal got it 4 months ago and he still takes oxygen and is now registered disabled.

His social media shows he's doing ok. Doesn't look ill and he's out and about too. If he's back Friday brilliant but we have proven over the last few weeks we can still play and win without a number of our 'star' players. For rotation it's always better to have as many as possible.
Not sure Sita will be back anytime soon. I know it's a Widdop thread sorry for derailing, but we need to get shut of Sita if he's gonna be missing so much and as Price has already said, he's not up to it.

Add Latu to the Sita list. Let’s then recruit a couple of props next season and also a half as I’d be surprised if Widdop will be around next year. I do however think Latu has another year to run on his contract.

He’ll be back in the team next week apparently.

I was surprised not to see Latu on the bench this week, thought he’d done ok last couple of weeks. However, was always going to be a quick game that one. Maybe Price wasn’t confident Latu could keep up.

I think we could afford to rest Cooper plus possibly one other for the Catalan game.
