There's been rumour and speculation in the UK over the last few months about Widdop signing for Leeds but the club have not made a comment. Widdop has previously denied it. How reliable is this new story and is it really going to happen ?

You keep asking the same question hoping for a different answer?

Widdop is staying he said so himself.

His family are settled on the south coast for now but he might go back to the old dart in the future.

I like Widdop. Admittedly he has been a bit off the last several weeks (the whole team has) but he reminds me a lot of Hornby. Cool head, does his job without fanfare, never complains, completes his one-percenters (all the little things most of the experts on here miss and criticize him because he's not laying on 20 points a game instead).

I don't get drawn into these armchair coaching debates, but I think you have pretty much hit it on the head regards Gareth, Nick!

And for the record, as stated before, "GARETH WILL SEE HIS CONTRACT OUT"!!

Just take a look at who started the post!

Thank you for your post, much appreciated Gary.
Can we finally put this to bed the next time that Rhyno dude asks or mentions he keeps hearing it ?

I've said the same thing since he signed with us!

Ben Creagh is not the best option for a captain. Just because you are one of the longest serving players doesnt automatically mean you are the best choice for a leadership role.

Yep. Widdop should be captain. While has has the off games here and there, when it comes to competing he is way up there. How many games is he the one to charge across the field for a cover tackle, or dive on a loose ball. Also the team seems to listen to him. Benny Creagh is a nice guy but Widdop has the respect of the players.

IMO the best people for the captains role are either Widdop or Thompson.

Sadly Ben is not suitable for the on field requirements of a captain. He is too nice a guy. Also his starting games days might be over.
