apparently GARETH WIDDOP is heading home immediately - and looks like going to huddersfield - that would turn them into a top 4 chance .

they must of known that when they released DB to us

wish we had the cash

Overated

He’s an excellent player, I think to say he’s overrated is harsh.

I wonder why he’d suddenly be heading home.

Would be a great signing but he counts as no fed trained doesn't he, since he's never played over here at any real level and moved to Aus at 16. It makes the homesick comment a little bit strange having lived there for 13 years but what do I know.
As it says, I'd be surprised St George will let him go and he's on a million dollars a year currently.

This on the NRL site says that they are prepared to release him after next season to finish his playing days in England.
It says on that, Huddersfield told reporters in England they were not in a position to make an offer now.

Shaun Johnson also released by NZ Warriors. Wonder if he might come over for a year? Would be brilliant to see either over here

its a merry go round over here this week players and coaches going everywhere!!!!!!!!

Just my opinion I do not rate him that high

I'm not sure why but he always reminds me of Mark Conway - technically very good but still something missing.

I have never really watch him in the NRL but when he has played for England he has never really stood out. I think he is a good player and probably better than most halfs in SL at the moment but not quite sure he has that X Factor to make him world class.

Similar to yourself I haven't watched much of him but in the games I have seen he's never really done anything spectacular, but he seems to be consistent, versatile and an excellent goal kicker.

180+ NRL Games
Represented England and the NRL all stars
450+ goals kicked

Record speaks for itself I guess.

I see that
his gait/running style and posture is very reminiscent of Mark Conway
he doesn't have Conway's kicking stutter though

The thread is about Widdop. Not Tom Johnstone
