The only risk Wire have taken is on keeping him fit not his ability. Whoever says different doesn't know his a rse from his elbow. Who says he was the 5/8th of the year 2017? Was it the Stevie Wonder magazine? Sorry I don't rate him at all,but like I said let's see what he does at super league level (eventually) and maybe I'll eat my words,but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e he is the Dally M 5/8th of the year 2017. Similar to how SL has the Dream Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allora Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have never been much of a fan on his Club form. He seems to be one of those players that gets hyped and pumped up far beyond his actual ability. His best years are behind him. Why would top shelf player from the NRL sign for Warrington... Getting a Dally M award in some cases is like getting the Golden Boot or whatever it is called nowadays, its spin, bullcrap and polish. Talent is secondary to whether players are confident.

Dave T Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I've never been Widdop's biggest fan, and there are serious question marks over his injuries, so this signing could go either way. But he is a far better option than Patton and for me our halves have been the issue that has held us back in recent years. Get that sorted it could be our year.

Apart from his very first season at Storm and his very last at the Dragons, he played over 20 games a season every single year. In a league that only plays 24 regular season games that shows he comfortably played the vast majority of the time. You know that doesn't tell the whole story though don't you? I stick to my earlier statement, his body is broken, and as he gets older, it will become more of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your contention that he is not made of biscuits has fallen at the first hurdle as he will be missing for the first month of the season. Please come back with a coherent argument when, or if, he actually takes to the field of play. In the meantime, he will continue to prove that he is made of biscuits whilst sitting on the touchline injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said ‘he’s been made of biscuits the past 5 years’ - missing the first 4 weeks of a season doesn’t prove that, Jim. 3 hours ago, Jim Prendle said: Please come back with a coherent argument when, or if, he actually takes to the field of play.

You’re asking me to provide a coherent argument when, with very little effort on my part, I’ve pulled to pieces everything you’ve said and shown you to be way off the mark. It’s easy being right on this forum sometimes when you see some of the rhetoric spewed on here, with attempts to pass it off as fact.

MattSantos Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Presumably he'll play 6? Ratchford at 1 and Austin at 7? What's Austin like week to week? I suspect he's very hit and miss and certainly not a classic 7. Too many players of a similar ilk maybe?
