Hmmm you are truly geniused. What part of bugger off and do not involve or tag me in your idiotic rants do you not understand? We get it, you don't like Widdop and you are completely incapable of forming an unbiased opinion or giving credit where it due. Now piss off.

WOW, that was quite an outburst! Why can't you and the trippy old dude see the irony? Yes, after 3 years of rubbish from our highly paid "marquee playmaker", I can't see him gone soon enough. I freely admit that. Actually half way through his first year I understood supercoach Price and the club had screwed up very badly with him. I suspected it even earlier when Bellamy started raving about how good he is after he sighed with us.
But you and the trippy old dude accuse me of being too negatively biased on Widdop while the two of you (and others) consistently blame everything and everyone else on the "regular" or even "semi-permanent occasion" Widdop plays badly, or very badly, or shockingly badly.

I thought Widdop played very well yesterday; probably the best game ever for the Dragons.
I have been one of those who have been calling for him not to be re-signed for next season however, I now realise it is not the cattle, it is the way they are prepared for the game and the game plan they are asked to play to.

It was by far the best game I have seen him play for SGI. Ditto for McCrone and Lafai. So typical the usual suspects are doing handstands over Widdop but McCrone and Lafai don't warrant a mention. Especially McCrone who is probably making about 10-15% of what Widdop is making. I'm going to wait for games when the opposition forwards are matching or almost matching ours. If our forwards are getting steamrolled as Penwiffs were yesterday, I won't blame Widdop for playing poorly in attack though I will still expect his defence to have improved.

Two points only;

1. this Glenn01 bloke seems to be smoking non medicinal and,

2. I thought I was the infamous 'Vas'?

*Confused?*

1. What kind of medicine (real medicine) is smoked????
*Confused
2. You are, you just don't realize it.

So it seems not only do you lack comprehension skills but you're just plain ignorant.

I'm so glad I bumped this thread.

Vasglennurd did not disappoint.

Surely you would hav realised this from one of his former personalities?

Oh I know. This incarnation just seems a little stupider though so I felt the need to reiterate the point.

I knew you would be doing handstands. Widdop was average. In the second half he looked good when the Dragons forwards were rampaging. In the first 10min, while the Pewiff forwards were still holding on, it was business as usual and McCrone was taking charge. Let's see Widdop play okay when opposition forwards match ours. Who knows, if he can (which I very much doubt. I have seen enough for 3 years already) he may even get an offer from another NRL club as one hasn't been forthcoming from the Dragons and obviously Field is being groomed for 5/8.

Of course Widdop was average in comparison to the rest of the team. Compared to Penwiff players, he was very good. Compared to JDB, Duges, Vaughan, McInnes, Thommo and Frizz, he was average. I had to add that caveat or the trippy old dude may have lost his mind.

Glenn, I usually don't comment when I see an idiot poster making an idiotic comment but I feel that I need to in this instance.
Widdop had an excellent game yesterday. He was not average, he was excellent. He scored two tries, set up two more and kicked everything over the black dot. If you cannot give credit where credit is due then all of your posts mean nothing to anyone. You have no credibility.
Does that make sense? So when you say I think such and such had a good or bad game nobody will listen because you are the guy that says a player had an average game when he scored 22 points.
Your credibility is gone.
Do you get it?

 

[dragonssamy61]

You are wasting your time. As you eluded to, this guy (and BrissyRedV isn't much better. He is just more subtle about it) will blame everything and everyone for Widdop but never Widdop himself. And if you say something like Lafai or Aitken's poor defence is due to having to cover for Widdop, he will blow his top and start eluding to homosexual activity between yourself and Lafai or Aitken.

I'm more interested in what especially he but also others on this forum will do in the event Widdop is dropped and released to the ESL (he won't get picked up by another NRL club) this season. I'm highly confident that will happen. His form is so bad it's a sick joke even McIdiot can't ignore. And they (the trippy old dude, BrissyRedV and etc) have made it perfectly clear their loyalty to Widdop far outweighs the success of the team and club.

Well said dumb arse.
You dont have to prove it

Well, I did indicate "NON medicinal".

I think it's colloquially known as "yamba bamba" among the hipsters.

You're welcome.

Fine. Widdop and the rest of the team, including Lafai and McCrone had excellent games while JDB and Duges had "super excellent" games. Happy now? I did say "average in comparison" but you are right. THAT word beginning with "a" and ending in "e" and also containing "v", "r" and "g" has been struck from my vocabulary.
I have downloaded the game but haven't had a chance to watch it again yet. I remember Widdop delivered the last pass for one of Thommos tries, well out from the line and Thommo beat 2 or 3 players and carried over another 1 or 2. I can't recall the second but will check.

 

[Glenn01]

I see. I would have thought to say "NON medicinal" implies there is medicine which is smoked. But again, as above I'm wrong and I apologize. And you are definitely "Vas"!!!

Are you two the same person? I have suspected it since I first joined. You joined within 2 weeks of each other and you positions are identical. One uses the "holier than thou" attitude, i.e. "Anyone who can't Widdop is a marquee playmaker and a future immortal is an idiot only worth replying to in order to say he is ignoring you while the other comes across in a fatherly kind of way, patiently explaining that Widdop is a future immortal and the greatest ever Dragons player and when he plays badly, it's the fault of everyone else, not Widdop's fault.

You compliment each other quite well. Like Dr Jeckal and Mr Hyde.............

 

[BennyV]

We are less of the same person than you, Vasilevsky and Sigurd are!

 

[BrissyRedV]

Oh yes, me and Benny V are one and the same. Occasionally I like to have opposing views with myself just to throw you all off the scent.

No you dont.

[Gareth67]

Off the topic slightly but , Egad ! ! I just looked at the NRL ladder and those Dragons are sitting on top of the ladder - who would had thought .
To the media know-alls , go suck some bluudy big eggs !

 

[Glenn01]

I laughed.

No you dont.

I have no way of (legally) proving it and if you use the same security I do, no way of proving it at all but the fact you haven't denied it is pretty telling. You are both also online at the same time on Sunday night......I have said too much! This forum would be painfully boring without you so please carry on as you are.
As for Widdop, if he puts together games like that on a regular basis in the next 10 rounds, games where certainly Dragons forwards are not running rampant over the enemy as they were last game, I will gladly admit, I was wrong and if Widdop is willing to take a pay cut of at least 20%, he should be re-signed. If he is much better than yesterday over the next 10 rounds I will gladly admit his re-signing should be a priority.

I very much doubt the SGI forwards will dominate the opposition like yesterday very much. Just because the enemy will realize this is the game plan and be extremely fired up to prevent it. Of course I still think the SGI forwards are among the best, if not the best in the competition but they won't dominate like they did yesterday very often no matter how good they are.

I have to explain these things in full or you and Mr Hyde and etc will flip out on me, stating that I think the SGI forwards are rubbish and etc.

And BTW, I am not "Sigurd" or "Vasilevsky" but no comment on whether or not I also the other "smoker" (along with the trippy old dude), Saint_JimmyG".
