Stating the bleeting obvious , we will never know.
I couldnt care about comparing the 2 players, as to me they both have class and experience, and are big time players.
I see Widdop as future captain material, should he renew, moreso due his his inspirational defence and level headedness. He rarely seems rattled.
There were 3 or 4 times that i can recall that a try was imminent, and a great 1 on 1 tackle by Gaz saved the day. Thats leadership.
What Benji brings is that element of sheer surprise, entertaining, rocks and diamonds maybe, but for us i would dare say more diamonds. I get it that many want to see him move on, but in the early rounds of 2016 he is playing for probably his last contract, and I expect him to perform.
Just my 2 cents worth. Im happy with or 6 and 7, even if it ends up being a 7 and 6.
