Drag queens will be on the lookout for a half now. Maybe TB could cone out of retirement.

They have a guy that went through Flegg last year (season before this past one). Tall and rangey, but damned good.

I think they have him covered.

Landing pad for SJ.

Didn't seem to be homesick when playing at the storm all those years.

Haha some kid from Flegg adequate cover for Widdop?

Put a fork in them for at least next year if he goes.

 

[The Who]

Widdop is their best player; a 'gun'. He also is a fantastic goal kicker.
It would take a player such as SJ to come close to replacing him.

 

[brad]

Ben hunt will be crying in his coco pops. Saints will struggle .

 

[maxta]

Johnson at his best is 1 of the most gifted players to lace a boot....
The problem is, seems to only be on the field 10 minutes a game.
Widdop is very classy and consistently involved....probably as good a replacement available, but will be a far more erratic Illawarra with him partnering Hunt who has thrived on Widdops direction.

Where are the hysterical Media headlines critiquing Klemmer and Widdop that Chez had to bear

Doing what's best for the family ...

Yes, that pisses me off as well!!

 

[The Who]

More Fake News from a RL journalist - and I use the term with derision. Widdop has committed to Illawarra for 2019.
And as soon as one lie is published it allows all other media to report it as fact.

 

[Rynostradamus]

I have no doubt he will sign on in england for a year to get out of his current contract and land at the chooks in 2020

 

[double hoops]

Fit and healthy you won't find a better half in the game ATM. Would love him at Man. No doubt offered a packet by an English club. Fit and healthy at finals Dragqueens could match it with anyone. Big chance of a premiership in the next 3 years if Widdop is steering the ship.

 

[midsteyne]

He can't be missing his mum,she lives in Gympie,QLD,works with my daughter.
There is more to this story.

 

[globaleagle]

Now he's come out and said he hasn't asked for an immediate release, it's hilarious that the DT has removed their story.

"Oh look, er, nothing to see here. We never said immediate... cough cough. What story?"

peanuts.

FAKE NEWS,these dickhead reporters need to be held accountable for making this ****e up

 

[yokahontas]

He said himself yesterday that it’s no secret he would like to play in England at some point, he’s always says that.

But the homesickness angle is balls - whoever came up with that didn’t think it through. Not like the guy moved here for footy, his whole family migrated here when he was a teenager, for Mum’s work. And he’s now got an Australian wife and kids - so homesick for who/what, exactly?!

Pork pies and spotted dick

 

[Tomay]

Widdop is criminally underrated. He’s a great player. I don’t think he’s going anywhere but if he does, saints are stuffed.

It won’t , but should stop.

The bull**** they come out with is appalling at times.
