Drew Hutchison

[coast_dragons]

Back training with some contact work.

No time frame to when he will be back playing but looks like he will be this year.

Have to say this is good news and hopefully he decides to stay.

 

[Weipa Dragon]

Could huch be a dark horse for the fullback role? I remember he was pretty tall, not sure on speed but he could kick and pass well in the Halves.

 

[jeffdragon]

Not for me ,could be a lock
Doesnt have the speed for me
Kicking game average

 

[Dragon Revival]

I would not be surprised if Widdop moved to fullback and Hutchison played five-eighth next year with Hunt at half-back. If he stays we will have good depth with the playmakers.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Hutch / Widdop WILL NOT play fullback...

 

[one day soon]

The club needs to develop him into a ball playing second row. Wade Graham style of player, he will need to toughen up, but has the size, needs muscle. Too slow for the halves, but looks like he has a good football brain. Worth the continual investment, at the correct price.

I hope he stays and gets some opportunities in FG.
This kid can play and he is a lot better that perception dictates.
Should've been the half back instead of Benji...

I would be extremely surprised, Widdop is not a fullback!

 

[OzDragon]

Hopefully he hasn't inherited the Stanley genes. Good to see him back.

I was thinking the same thing, Wade Graham without the stupidity.
He's a big kid

 

[Spudd]

We obviously haven't seen the best of Hutch. Talented kid.

 

[Dragon Revival]

Did not Widdop play fullback for the Storm. I think that Hutchison will be a success if he stays. He has good skills and just needs to build his confidence and timing. He plays towards the gaps
and makes few mistakes. Mac Gregor never gave him a fair go.

Yes, Widdop has played FB for the Storm.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

I'm foreseeing a rotation of:
- Vaughan comes off for a rest
- De Belin slides from lock to front row
- Hutchison slots into lock to ball-play around the ruck and expose tired forwards.

 

[2010]

Widdop needs to stay at 5/8. With Hunt coming these two could be the best pairing in the league,

 

[Dragon Revival]

Widdop played fullback, centre and five-eighth for the Storm and the latter two positions for England.

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Widdop needs to stay at 5/8. With Hunt coming these two could be the best pairing in the league,

After watching Hunt tonight, he needs to be the halves go to man and Widdop to play a more supporting role.
Then it makes no sense having Widdop as captain - he has an awful record anyway.

He's a big unit for sure. Never thought of him as a fullback but stranger things have happened.

whatever we still have time this year for Hutch to go strait into Half as soon as hes ready to take his rightful place over ABYSMAL Mcrone!

Agree but wont happen , there have been chances for other players to be blooded , and given a go but dosnt happen . If it did , you can bet the first mistake he will be shafted and wont be seen again ......
