Mary has killed Widdop's career mainly because Mary is incapable of recognising each players strengths and weaknesses.

When Bennett designed his game plans he took into consideration Soward's strengths and weaknesses and kept on challenging Soward to improve on his weaknesses. When Soward moved on, he was a more confident and better defender than when he arrived at the Dragons. In the end, his back injury to limit his desires to perform well in defence.


Widdop needs to be given space to play as a running five-eighth and be given room to move/kick. Dugan is much more effective in broken play or also when given room to wind up. The game against Penrith, with our forwards dominating, is the exact environment that suits our attack. But unfortunately that situation is not always going to evolve and a good coach would know that and design a B plan for the team to adjust on the day.

In my opinion Widdop will not be at the Dragons in 2018 mainly because he is asking too much coin and his ability to shine is limited to a very narrow set of circumstances. In the same way, unless Dugan backs down on his 1m p/a salary demand, he also will not be at the Dragons in 2018. Milne at right centre and a new BIG left centre will be what will be required in 2018 with plenty of cap to meet this requirement.

Mann should be retained and I believe any new coach will quickly move to keep Milne and Mann however, Lafia and a number of others will be moved on. The focus should be on stacking our squad with players with size and speed and the skill set to perform well at first grade level. We already have a couple of light weight players who have that x factor but are still to prove themselves at first grade level. Maybe Field and Dufty will be given that opportunity in 2017.

I have just noticed two posts have apparently been deleted , 1 of mine and also 1 from he with the many personalities .
I being somewhat guilty of going overboard with my remarks , shall therefore take the hint and refrain from replying to or creating any new posts to that particular member (s) in future .
Hopefully as a result , I shall be able to return to my former gentlemanly like manner .

Just when I thought it couldn't get any weirder, the trippy old dude is at best, expressing hope that "ybur" dies for being critical of Widdop. At worst it could be considered a death threat.


And then this genius endorses that and calls it "a lovely thought."

WTF is going on with this forum and Gareth Widdop? Incredible! The trippy old dude doesn't count but someone like BennyV obviously isn't an idiot yet his loyalty to Widdop is unwavering. I can only come to the conclusion he has a vested interest.

Glen you are getting boaring saying the same thing over and over.
You can do better than that.
Can't you.
If not just give it a rest you wanker

Sorry, I'm a bit late to the party on this.

Is our resident fruitcake now calling himself "ybur"? Does this mean Glenn01 is finished now?

It's hard to keep up sometimes.
Hi Walpole
Trust you are well.
Somebody was having breakfast the other morning and knocked the packet of "fruit loops" over and obviously missed a few with the vacuum cleaner.
Before Glenn leaves we have to go through the mutual admiration posts whilst the new identity settles in.
Glenn's ascension should not be too far away and how ironic he will end up in the bosom of Mary "Priceless" if you know what I mean.

I wouldn't let him get under your skin. He wants you to start cursing and get banned. Unlike BennyV, I don't think he has a vested interest. At some point, probably before Widdop was even at SGI, he developed some kind of infatuation. In the context of his habitual illicit substance abuse his mind is no longer working perfectly so will not and cannot let the infatuation go.

I just randomly went back a few pages and checked this thread. At first he claimed I was the same person as someone else who was/is unhappy with Widdop and tried to illicit laughs and back up from other less intelligent forum contributors. Of course he got it from the usual suspects and few ring-ins like "ALSGI". He then launched into a preemptive excuse for Widdop but went very quiet right after the eels game regardless. He then returned to theme of me being me and several others who are/were dissatisfied with Widdop. Shortly thereafter, seeing this thread wasn't disappearing he almost pleaded with me but then went on to call me a clown. Holding out hope I would take pity on his pleading but throwing out what I presume he thinks is an insult to try and pretend he really doesn't care.

He then started talking about fishing...... Seriously. Seeing the thread still wasn't go away he turned to deal with you.

He started it off with what is at best wishing for your death and could actually be considered a death threat. That was enthusiastically cheered by "Gareth67" who called it "a lovely thought".

He then went back to the theme of fishing............... (WTF?) and then about me suffering from multiple personality disorder or something to that end. Sometimes it's really hard to make any sense of what he is saying.

Now he has gone onto interrogating you. Seemingly thinking something like "This person is criticizing Widdop. He or she can't be for real and I am determined to get to the bottom of it."

Most of this all in the space of one day. The guy is seriously out there.

Glen 01 and ybur
Why don't you both get a room and both just f**k off .
We no you are both the same person don't we vas.
Why don't you come up with somthing more interesting and original.
Instead off continually repeat the same thing over and over.
You think you are smart but you are not.
We get it about widdop.
You think he is crap .
Just stop messing up every thread that mentions him.
I no it gives you a chuby but you can get it in other ways

Thanks OT, I'm going along fine.

I saw a movie a little while back about a bloke with 23 different personalities. I guess we still have a few to go. It's a little strange though that all 23 hate Widdop so much, you'd think one would spring to his defence. Vas is still my favourite.

Widdop has played well so far, ok he doesn't make all the newsreels, he is just doing what he knows best.

Just had a look on NRL stats, 12 missed tackles 36 tackles. Widdop is the weakest link in defence, fix your shit please.
