Only one? Ok. He kicked 5/5.

In attack.

 

[j0nesy]

In attack.

Goal kicking is defence?

 

[SBD82]

In attack.

So we can confirm that capital is, in fact, Mary.

Points scored off kicks don't count.

 

[Miller was a legend]

In attack.

He kept his team running in the right direction, directed his forwards and focussed the attack to achieve an outstanding win on the back of his amazing ability to read the game and execute his coaches boring as bat shit game plan!

How's them apples vasso boy

No. Goal kicking is goal kicking.

No Capital is the brain transplant recipient from Glenn 01 an operation often performed with failed consequences by the late Dr Vasilevksi.
The brain was deficient in the beginning and has lost more and more of its initial minute capacity after each transplant as is now evidenced by the latest recipients loveoursaints and Capital.

I think a big congratulations is in order for the Captain in being the 3rd player since the joint venture to score 500 points. A solid game for him tonight with 5 out 5 off the boot.

100& Agree. He played very well tonight his vision was great and he led the team around the park, bloke is impressing alot and if he keeps it up I dont see us letting him go

In 2015 the few times I went and watched the Dragons Widdop along with Dugan was always among our best . I think he isn't a natural captain or leader and his game has suffered since he became captain . If he stays I think 2 simple changes would see him at his best .
1...Make Hunt the general out there ( Cronk like ) make it his team to lead around . I also think that will bring out the best in Hunt not being in the shadow of Milford and Boyd .
2...Make Dugan the captain . He is in the perfect position at Fullback and he is the natural team leader anyway .
I think that would free Widdop up to be what he is ...A natural running 5/8 . He could just concentrate on his own game , not have to deal with refs and everything else a captain has to do . And playing with a quality 7 he could well go to another level .

 

[BrissyRedV]

What is your relationship to Widdop? Do you think 0 tries, try assists, line breaks and line break assists is acceptable for a playmaker behind a dominant forward pack?

But he did have a try assist and a line break assist as credited by the NRL statisticians. Perhaps you should check your facts before making bullshit statements.

Oh, and he is still our equal leading try scorer and has currently scored the most points out of any player in the comp thus far.

Lafai had a bit of work to do but great vision by Widdop to notice ayshford was out of the line

If Widdop is a natural running 5/8, can you tell him to start making some line breaks please. No, Widdop is gone. No NRL clubs have made him an offer.

Goal kicking was my biggest concern with Gareth leading in to this season.

He hasn't just improved, he's improved out of sight. His improvement in kick % represents in a microcosm his refound confidence in all aspects of his game. And with it, my confidence in him.

What is your relationship to Gareth Widdop? Why don't you want to answer?

Until you come clean on that, I will continue to not understand why you take criticism of him so personally. You are more than happy to criticise other team members. Regardless, I will continue to state it how I see it whether you like it or not.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not just Widdop. I now Aitken scored that try last week and Lafai today but most of the time they look like slow second rowers. Nightly is safe and reliable but given the lack of creativity and speed in the backline, I think we need a little more than "reliable". McCrone was very good today but compare his ball running and ball playing to Sean Johnsons even behind a dominated pack and with backs who can't catch or hold onto the ball.

That's it Sammy boy - don't you take no shat from anyone , be brutally honest .
P.S. What did he mean by elephant , what in the name of f@@k , has an elephant got to do with anything ?

Well that would just prove all he has to do is pass the ball to Lafai who had to run and beat a few players all ends up in order to go down for "a try assist". No, sorry but in defence today, he was great. In attack, utterly useless. Good teams playing well like Melbourne and Roosters will shed us to pieces if we don't have palymakers who can set up tries and line breaks.

Obviously you don't know who Gareth Widdop is.
You and all your alter ego's claim he has done nothing since he has been with the club.
Maybe you should watch this little trailer from 2015 to familiarise yourself with the bloke you say has done nothing and then you might stop making such ridiculous accusations.
Now please clarify is the bloke in this video the same Gareth Widdop you keep banging on about as being no good ever since he came to the club?

 

[Dragonslayer]

According to the game statistics Widdop had a try assist tonight as did Aitken and McInnis. Go read them., they're there for everyone to peruse.

 

[Gareth67]

Hell , I always knew that he was a very good player , but watching that video , one could almost put him in the ' great Dragon player ' of the modern era category .

I really believe that it is time to give the man a few very well deserved kudos' .

Played well , although having a serious car accident today and then reaching the magic 500 points for the Dragons , very well done Gareth !
