Now how can I believe you Vas? He plays well and you say he plays like poos. He plays like poos and you say he plays like poos. We win, and you say it was Benji or a team effort. We lose and you say it was all Widdops fault. I can't possibly believe you when you are incapable of unbiased opinion!
So as a sucker for punishment I had to at least watch the highlights as I can't at this stage bring myself to watch the whole game and you have forgot to mention that Gaz is credited with our 2 try assists! You also forgot to mention that he was very unlucky to not score our 1st try thanks to oke of those 'obstructions'. Now, I know you will say Aitkens try should not have been deemed an assist but didn't he just do what we have all been calling for and giving quality early ball to our centres? And the 2nd was a quality ball again on a wrap around.
As to blaming anyone, please feel free to highlight when I have blamed Benji? I may have blamed Rein at times but never have I blamed Benji. The blame for all our woes lays at the feet of Doust and Mary. No one else. For the most part I believe we have the cattle just not the coach. On a side note, suggesting Widdop is out the door and on the open market wouldn't attract plenty of interest from the best coaches in the game is ridiculous. Another occasion you cannot get past your blatant bias against him.
I have almost always credited Dugan though last year Benji was very good as well. He was certainly close to the best against the Shonkies this year and again today.
All he does is catch and pass 5 meters away from the enemy defensive line. Is that enough for a playmaker in your opinion? As I said earlier on this thread, the move he put on with Benji for the second try is the best pass I can remember seeing him throw..... and it really wasn't that good. As a result I upped his passing rating from 1.0/10 to 2.0/10.
Yep. Completely ridiculous just like it was when I ridiculed the recruitment of Kurt Mann and the idea of having him play fullback moving Dugan to the centres. And just like it has been ridiculous that I have been saying Widdop is a f**king terrible playmaker. How many halves have been tried with Widdop and how many has he struck up a good combination with?
The only hope Widdop has of staying with Dragons is if McGregor isn't sacked. 4 absolute shockers in 9 games should have him looking at a stint in the NSW Cup but as McGregor made him captain and called him "a marquee player" 2 weeks ago, he isn't under any pressure. His fate is tied to McGregors.
