Yeah, I don’t mean to drop the BHQ meme line here but have you been watching Widdop at all lately? No good.

Okay, but I think you're probably being a bit dramatic

He must be pretty horrible these days then.. Doesn't this just mean we could sign him pretty cheap though? Players can always regain form.

I think he’s busted mate. Body has gone on him.

He's actually playing fine in the Super League, which any reserve grader from the NRL would do. He's staying in Warrington because he's not getting paid by a club in the NRL because they've seen what he has to offer and it's not up to standard and they don't trust his body

Come on Milf's manager, no one wants him, not above base wage anyway, just let it go.
Oh I'm prepared. it's my opinion, i'll stand by it.

But who will kick the midfield bombs from 45 out that the opposition Fullback catches in his back pocket?

Maybe you need to watch a bit more super league. He's pretty busted. Theres a good reason why they signed Williams and were willing to let both him and Austin leave. Comparing him to Cronk just isnt the same. Cronk was still a top tier half and a really smart operator even injured, Widdop is nowhere near Cronk as a player or as influential. I wouldnt take a single half playing in superleague right now, none of them are really good enough to play NRL.
James is another i wouldnt go anywhere near. Hasnt really played much footy in recent years and cant crack it down in Canberra.

Exactly. Clubs like United would literally 10k plus players, if not more in their junior systems both in England and around the world. Makes me laugh when they go on about Herbie being in their system. Its so common for big clubs in England to be looking at thousands and thousands of kids.

Imagine saying a few years ago that we should sign Albert Kelly instead of Gareth Widdop
I'm not saying that's what you're saying we should do.. But it is basically what will happen.
Glad we're on the same page with James.

if the choice comes down to a fit 30 year old vs a busted 32 year old ... i'd take the fit player every time, regardless of how good the busted player used to be
