Surely there's a case for getting Widdop over here for a year. If we're going to do a loan deal then that's the one I'd go for. He needs game time for the Storm and England's benefit , isn't going to get past Slater any time soon and at least won't bite us on the bum like BJB could when he goes back to his club. It would put pressure on Tansey too if he stays and I guess that Widdop would be reasonably versatile as a three quarter generally. Still leaves us with a quota spot as well doesn't it cos he's English? Or would he still be non fed despite that?

cant see him giving up the life he has now for a long time to train in drizzle and snow mate

IF he's playing first grade I agree with you , if not then it would be in his interest ....and it'd toughen the lad up a bit too!

The problem there is that the lad will be living the dream where he is, fun sun and the rest that goes with it, he knows his time will come down under hence why he wont come back here, i seem to recal reading a pieve where he said as much a few months back .
would you give up manley beach for Odsal or similar

He's plays for Melbourne!!!

That's about 500 miles away from Manly beach.


That would be like Tom Briscoe saying i'm not leaving Hull for the NRL because i'll miss Copenhagen too much.

Can you remember when we signed head on loan for a few games well i remember when the name jamie soward was flying about as a young number 6 but couldnt get infront of the half backs at that point DOH what a stupid mistake that was not 2 get him on loan/3 year deal or something!! might be worth while taking a chance on a big teams fringe players!!

I know how ridiculous this sounds and personally I can't see the club being able to afford him or the player wanting to come but I keep hearing Cooper Cronk's name being mentioned................takes a deep breath and waits for the inevitable abuse!

Cooper Cronk !! Agar says in HDM that he is after halfback cover .
A top class halfback is not going to cover Long and Horne in case they get injured !
Mind you with their injury records he would end up first choice!
