Gareth Widdop review

[j0nesy]

My memory of his short kicking game is the opposite. I seem to only remember him constantly kicking the ball into opponents legs 5 metres out from the line.
Having said that it was an enormous waste of his talent playing under McGregor. He’d have a few more premiership rings if he stayed under Bellamy.

Mine too, I also remember completely missing his foot with the grubber, more than a few times, and knocking it on.

On the other hand, he was excellent when he decided to take on the line.

Widdop was good in his early years at the Dragons but fell away to loose constancy. Won some games for us and lost some too. Move on, it is what it is but we don't need him. We have Sullivanand Amone coming through and they are our future.

He has announced retirement
Fantastic player. All The best mate

If it hadn’t been for the peanut I think he would have stayed and the club under his captaincy gone on to bigger and better things. He was a great leader and dare I say it not a whinger or quitter like someone else.

I think his shoulder was the main issue with him remaining a NRL player.
Mary or no Mary.

All the best to you Gareth Widdop. Your time at the Dragons to me was the highlight of your career other than winning the grand final with the Storm.

I hope life after footy will be good to you.

Same here. Out of Widdop and Hunt I know hands down who I'd rather have worn the famous RED V jumper. If the club had talked him into staying then we'd have been a far better team than after Hunt took over as prime play maker.

What a joy it was to watch Widdop when he was on. As soon as he left the halves went to poo. All the best for his retirement.

I will never forget how he got up from a hospital bed on the Friday to play against the Bulldogs on the Saturday night in a semi final .

We were going to be thrashed then skinned alive just for good measure - at least according to the critics , however
Widdop played one of his best games to have the Dragons ahead with only 10 minutes remaining.

However those big grubs Kasiano and Frank Pritchard flatten Widdop in a tackle and the dogs scored shortly after . Still the Dragons could had won , with the game in the balance until the final whistle.

A very good all round player who most certainly could had taught our present captain about the true qualities of leadership and never giving up .

Many memories from his time at the Dragons , enjoy a well deserved retirement Gareth .

Wow the joys of hindsight possm

Gareth was a top class player. Strong runner with ball, wonderful cut out pass to the left, solid defender, top goal kicker and never seen him run down even from 90 metre intercepts.
