And I've been watching Benji for more than a year and have seen him do it plenty of times throughout his career.

Fine. Don't be shy. Provide an example. I have provided 4 of Widdop doing it (jumping out of the way of opposition ball runners) but only watched about half the game time this year.

Well go and watch all the games and come back to us when you have all the facts and stats FW.
Good old Benji often runs up out of our defensive line and even past their attacking line tnd leaves a huge hole and an overlap then the other defender will be considered to have missed a tackle.
Smart way to get the stats in your favour.

And the relevancy of your post to mine was?????????

Did you forget to take your meds? Do I have to spell it out? I'm disgusted by the state of the club. The Widdop situation just being the tip of the iceberg and very much typical of the incompetent idiots who been running the club for the last 5 years. But I'm not going to jump ship. I will take more of an interest in the more entertaining sides like Canberra and Warriors until Widdop and McGregor are gone and the rebuild begins.

I still think something is going on behind the scenes. Jazz Tavanga and Lolohea are in NSW Cup now. One of Roberts, Taylor or Elgey are going to be in QLD Cup next year. The 3 of them would be a god send provided one of them replaces Widdop. If not, Widdop will manage to screw them up.

We all know McGregor is an incompetent idiot but he has watched the games this year too. It's inconceivable he doesn't know how bad Widdop has been.

So provide an example. Tell me the game I will check.

He hasn't played too many games so watch them all and then make an honest appraisal because it happens in every single game.
No doubt you will look just like others at the 1 or 2 big hits now and then but its not actually about them its about the regular everyday ones.

Let me know when they start publishing "missed tackle assists" stats and I'll have a look.

Very amusing indeed just as well my bladder was empty when I read your post..

Overlaps in the modern game so often mean no tackle at all so just another stat to consider.

I remember talking to an ex Balmain player years ago and he said that the worst thing that could happen when playing against the Dragons was to get a 2 on 1 on Changa..

I asked who so and he said the attacking side always new one of them was going to get smashed or coat hangered.

Ah those were the days no stats and life was pretty enjoyable really.

Imo ,apart from McGregor, stats is another thing ruining the game.They can be very misleading.Only i stat counts & that's the win/loss column

I think it may be you with multiple accounts, this just being your latest!

You're a funny guy. The fact you put an exclamation mark on the end of the sentence surely makes it true. After all, it's inconceivable more than one person would be critical of your superstar playmaker husband and Dragons captain!!!!!!

"Yet again" would you be so kind as to cease your gibberish when you are replying to me and let me comment on whatever I like! Who TF do you think you are? Am I supposed to kneel in front of the computer every time you forget your meds and see fit to bark commands at me?

No team will ever win a premiership with Gareth Widdop in the halves.
No team will ever win a premiership while it falls upon Gareth Widdop to be one of the main playmakers. But that's right. Apparently he is a running 5/8 now. Seriously! Have you seen how devastating his running game is?

Read the rules and try to follow them and stop being a spoilt child.
There are plenty of threads about Widdop by all means blurt away in all of them.
Your constant references to meds etc is just a reflection of your inability to enunciate your arguments in a creditable manner.
Now back to Benji good luck at your next NRL club can't wait for the announcement.

Point out the specific rule. Until then, take your meds and stop barking orders at me!

Personally #8 is my favorite!

Anyway, There must be something going on behind the scenes we are not privy too. As incompetent as McGregor is, there is no way he could get rid of Marshall but keep Widdop as things stand as we know them. Not saying he wasn't justified in getting rid of Marshall and Rein for that matter as well. But not get rid of Widdop??? That makes no sense at all. As I said previously, jumping out of the way of opposition ball runners is actually the least of his problems.
