Widdop was a starting half for 5 years at St George,
He was excellent the whole time, i especially enjoyed widdop and benji Marshall as a pairing also

Sadly that form never bar on a few occasions transferred to when he was playing for England

He had a really bad shoulder injury where he fell awkward tracking back from a kick
It was an injury he’d already had too

I don’t think he ever truley recovered from it

Unless you watched him in the nrl you’d have never seen the best from him

As it goes I think he’s the type of half we need
Some one to run the plays and tell everyone what to with a good kicking game

I agree with u re him not being cheap

Cheers Kev.
If it wasn't for the birds & the booze I could have been a contender.....
(In my younger days of course...)

I hope he goes well & hope he’ll bring an air of professionalism that’s not currently at the club, but I genuinely think his ability has been overrated. I’ve watched NRL, not religiously, for years & I thought he was good for a couple of years, but that’s about it - good - sometimes you just don’t see what others do in a player though so happy to accept your comments.

Agree be interesting to see how Wakeman goes
I was listening to a match in the run up to the gf and the commentary team said that although Koroisau is a hooker (and a v good one) he may play in the halves in the wc

Fiji will be a very exciting team once they have a full starting team out there

I think the same also pal
We do all see things different

Think he’ll defo bring some professional to the cas team too
He’s a very calm head widdop
A good signing for sure

Widdop is past his best, I don’t think that’s in doubt.

However it can go two ways. He might enjoy an Indian summer or carry on downhill, it’s the risk you take.

A huge amount depends on whether him and Miller gel.

See Corey Norman left Toulouse - still got 6 games of his bum poking suspension , but can’t really see any other sl club being interested

Prime Wakefield

Will be interesting if a player like this fits in with Applegarth ethos, as he's hardly squeaky clean. I don't know what his attitude is on bad boy players but this signing would certainly tell us.

That said I'm sure the RL news sites get their stories and opinions off these forums.

I’m not keen on the idea of Norman. I’d rather see us look at Wakeham or even Abrahams to further develop his game. I wasn’t impressed with the few times I saw him at Toulouse.

There’s that Corkhill at saints who’s a young half who they seem a touch surprised he’s left.

Still tight lipped from the club but I can imagine there are lots of conversations ongoing.

Saw that AJ Wallace has made his way into the Jamaica team. Young second row who might be worth a look.

I wonder if Norman was coached by john hopoate
