Very excited, on one hand he is very solid & on the other he is quite flashy. Due respects to Sowie who I love but widdop will bring that extra attacking flair as well as being a good goal kicker.Cant wait let's pray that he stays healthy for the rest of the year.

Great signing.

It happened so quickly that the mail almost missed it. I like it when the Club keeps things like this under wraps. Memories of how St George used to do business.

Things come in threes - there's one more signing to come.

A good way to start my weekend, especially with the Dragons not playing!

I feel like our sane is getting strieghtened out and strengthened up.

Still looking for 1 or 2 more key players to come for next year. Come on Doust, deliver some more.

During Origin Widdop runs the team and is the leader with Hinchcliffe,certainly can play without the big 3.

He's actually struggled to have an impact during this time which is why I have my doubts about him being a #1 option at 6 away from the Storm.

He has played well though at FB when one or all havent been here

Great signing!! Where did that come from!!
Wow!!
Chase/Widdup is a gun combo.
Dugan just waiting green light from NRL..
And this Aubusson rumour will not go away!

I do believe Sheens head coach And Price to be the assistant. Announced after the test match!

Get off the drugs you spanner. If we sign Sheens, Price won't be hanging around. We'll also be beating your team next Thursday.

Mad signing. Up the f**king Dragons!!! The best club in the world!!!

So proud of our club going hard for the best players. Loving it and has been a long time coming. I just hope we retain Weyman and Rein and not lose them.

Yes I agree Noa, while Widdop is a good signing, he is not a game changer player, and certainly not a $500k marque player. The danger for the Dragons is the overs they are now paying for players, Joel Thompson at $400k is overs in my opinion, he has achieved very little in his time at Canberra and has been plagued with injuries. The Dragons have now set their bar very high and will have some of their current squad looking at their own pay packets, if Thompson commands $400k, what would Merrin and Creagh be expecting. But good luck, fortune favours the brave.

Yes, a few players off contract, Weyman, Rein, Creagh, Godwin, with Fein and Cooper maybe in retirement? So either a few need to go... So could be some tuff love, boys".....but really excited, about Widdop signing, with Rangi pending.

Salary cap goes up to 6.3 mil next year and word is that we have front ended a few deals this year. I don't think we have salary cap issues.

I am delighted with this signing
This bloke is a star IMO no ifs or buts
Fast, tough and resourceful
He'll create doubt in defensive lines and create lot of opportunities
