I think covid will be putting a strain on all clubs financially, so yes a little different but not massively huddersfield n cas would not disregard a transfer fee straight away, they would have to seriously consider it

Same old chat going nowhere! Halves have been criticised for years and I wonder why good players become inadequate. Coaching is not getting the best out of the players. Beefing up the pack is essential starting with two props and time to question the role of Briers in the failure of the halves or is that not allowed. He is the common factor over the years. I recall with pleasure the rugby London played under Henderson and had high hopes. Nothing has changed but at least we know what he can achieve; as for Briers?

In the decade and a half before Briers joined the coaching staff we had one of the best kicking games in the league, since he became a coach we have not.

He's got the fishing rod out again....

I’m still trying to interpret “beyond equal”. It feels like it means “better than” but RD would have said that if he meant it...

I would interpret it the same way as beyond the horizon which would imply lower? It must be that because after 100 games or so for us there would be more than one person on here championing his corner if he meant better!

If Dec Patton ever becomes US President, duckie has a job being that spokesperson hosting the press conferences.

“Dec has beaten COVID, befriended emperor Ming of North Korea, got world beating employment figures, is the greatest golfer in the world. Yet still we hear the fake news that he isn’t good enough to be first choice half back for the Wire. So sad. MWGA!

duckie is to Patton, as Alastair Campbell was to Tony Blair

4 more years Mr Patton

Anybody else see the interview with Widdop on facebook today?
He was asked about going home as the rumours of him leaving won't go away, and heres his chance to put the rumours to bed.
He said " I squashed this 5 weeks ago so i don't need to talk about it again. I'm here and a wire player"
Seems definitive for me, but seen things before where a player denies everything until it's confirmed.
I would like him to stay as i think he will become more consistant with his performances. He's had 2-3 games where i've thought $h!t he's awesome, but they've been few and far between.
Been a crazy year though with covid and with his family back in Aus (still a big red flag) it's not been a normal year where him and his family can get out and about etc so i'm hoping next year will be a better one and his family can finally settle in.......if he's staying that is.

Widdop is a class player. You don't achieve what he has achieved in Aus if you are poop. We just ned to work out how to get the best out of him.

Call me suspicious but "I'm here and a Wire player" is a statement about the current situation only. It says nothing about next year.
