Now that is great news for the club. Very sneaky if you ask me. It was kept very quiet until this week.
Widdop in Dragons' sights
St George Illawarra may boast the English halves combination next season after expressing interest in Melbourne's Gareth Widdop as a replacement for Penrith bound Jamie Soward.
Fairfax Media understands the Dragons have had discussions with Widdop's manager, Paul Sutton, to lure him from Melbourne in a move that could see him play alongside England half-back Rangi Chase.
i think soward will be more valuable to penrith than widdop to dargons next year. i love widdop but % of stormers who leave melbourne and maintain their form is like 1 out of 10? (inglis, j smith and folau the only ones off the top of my head - but i could name quite a few that become total flops)
Where have the Sheens to the Dragons reports surfaced from??? Haven't read it anywhere, someone with some inside scoop??
I think with the personnel we have recruited and still chasing, it would suit Sheens' coaching style. Chase, Widdop, Thompson, Dugan, all attacking weapons.
So I guess we say goodbye to the carney rumours for good?
Great news! Celebrating with an early beer here. Think the club deserves a pat on the back for this one.
Fingers crossed they get Chase as well - suspect compensation (transfer fee) is all that's holding it up.
