Thoughts on the other Connor - Watson?

Only contracted to the Knights for this year. He could compete for a halves spot perhaps. Pretty good utility too.

Dunno if I rate Watson.

I actually would be keen on May. I know he has had his issues but us being overseas might be a good option for him.

If the Dragons don’t want Dufty, is he an option at 1 and Walsh in halves?

Bring back princess - $300k pa on a 2 year contract?? I know he was a real dick and rather left us then earn the market salary. We would have given him what Cronulla paid him but he wanted million plus from us I hear

For his sake I hope he doesn’t go to Canberra as Ricky has ruined many halves with his over interference

Bit sad to see a career fizzling out, that never really met its full potential, Kiwis excluded.
2011 final the only highlight?

He played well up to 2015 injury in club footy. The missing on finals footy was certainly not his fault we had plods in and around the club. We're slowly transforming into a more all around team with investment in youth and homegrown talent. It's looking good despite being short of that experienced half and backup hooker. I already feeling good this far out from our glory.

Is that the year where we were running 5th, then he had his injury against manly and we lost 8 straight to tumble down the ladder?

That wasn't fun.

Yes it was. And in 2014 he was unstoppable just seemed to slice through defenses. Saw him carve up Australia in front of my eyes in Wellington. That will never be forgotten felt on top after that game after missing out on finals footy that year.

SJ also has the best RL career highlights of any player. Who knows what his last NRL deal brings. He could still win a NRL trophy / ring before he moves on.

We have a better forward pack now aswell.

Honestly, Im down for a 2 year Johnson deal.
The club meaning Cameron George and senior leadership team decided not to have him back. For that to occur must mean he has some issues we aren't of aware of. It's unfortunate because he's always the Warriors to me.

I wondered if at the time the club asked the players about SJ, money came into it?
“Hey boys, SJ is interested in coming back but we’ll have to spend almost all of Rogers money on him”.
If that were me I’d be like heeeeelllll no.

If the club came back and said we can essentially get Reece, SJ, and someone like Woods or Lodge next year (factoring in Ah Mau leaving), then I’d be way more open to it.

Sydney Morning Herald suggesting we’re looking closely at Gareth Widdop...

There a link to this?

Dunno about Gareth. Although I'd rather have him over Sezar or Austin who both also want to return.

Warrior Widdop?​

It’s no secret Gareth Widdop is eyeing a return to the NRL, and talk out of the United Kingdom suggests it could come in the form of the New Zealand Warriors.

We’re hearing the Warriors are keeping a very close eye on Widdop’s performances in the Super League, contemplating a play for the former Melbourne and St George Illawarra five-eighth for next season.
Widdop’s children are now living with their mother in Australia, with Widdop desperate to move closer to them.

A contract with the Warriors still has its obstacles given travel limitations and potential restrictions, but it could provide him with an opportunity to see them more regularly.

The Warriors went after Nicho Hynes, offering a three-year $1.5 million deal. They were blown out of the water by the Sharks. Widdop appears to be their next target.

First Manu, then Hynes, now Widdop. We're being linked to Five Eights, which is interesting considering Kodi has a year to go. Looks like the club is planning to replace him sooner than that.

Widdop isn't looking for much $$, wouldn't be upset if we did get him for a year. Seems like a stop gap move, obviously not long term. Perhaps they are looking for some experience to help CHT and Walsh's development.

Depends what shape and form he's in - if he's like Green and his body can't keep up with his brain then he'll be a waste of space blocking the development of a long term player. Obviously if the opposite is true he'll be awesome.
