Widdop seeks release

[Saint_JimmyG]

IMO Lomax is a better goalkicker than Widdop. Hits the like Daryl Halligan - straight and true..

Did you miss Lomax missing a penalty goal right in front of the “sticks” against Newcastle?

Even Lafai is a better goalkicker.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Yea, maybe you can tell me why we miss out on all the good players and instead end up with players with potential. I truly don't think Millward is on the ball; he has too many nana naps.

No, Millward is doing a FANTASTIC job! He let Dugan walk....remember?

Deep sigh

Hold no ill will against Gareth if he want's to go home and finish his career in England and the injury may have hastened his decision.

He's been a great club captain, won Dally M five eight in the Red V and played when his shoulder was cactus and gave up playing for his country for the team.

I've been around the block quite a few times in my life. I really can't remember know of a first grade goal kicker who did not miss a goal right in front.

I think you would do better to focus on the vast majority of great goal kicks that were successful, some right near the sidelines.

That was a shocker. However, wasn’t it his second kick in first grade? Probably feeling the nerves. From memory he nailed a couple of sideline conversions after that.

His conversion rate is about 84 percent which is the same as Widdop.

This is why I don’t believe it’s anything more than a made up story.
I get periods of incredible homesickness but I gave up a life and a career as a 31 year old, I have something to go back to if I really decided I couldn’t stick it out here anymore.
Widdop was still a kid his life and those of any of his friends will have changed so much he can’t ever go back to that even if he wanted to.

We don't want you back ;-)

Joking aside,good post.

Some crackers in here....enjoy

Losing our goal kicker is the biggest hurdle to overcome.....forget his captaincy!
Mcf**knuckle will be forced to pick Lomax and that's a bonus.

Lomax looks a pretty competent goal kicker as well.

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Can't believe how quickly some have turned on Widdop based on a news article. No one other than Widdop and the club knows the real truth. FMD.

I didn't turn on him.
I never liked him.

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Congratulations on possibly the stupidest post of the day.

Oh really?
What about my post is stupid?
The parts you don't agree with?

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Well, this is a shit way to start the day.

I wonder how good his shoulder really is. Maybe it’s cactus. Maybe playing in England is a now or never thing.

Or maybe he’s got wind of Mary being re-signed and is outta here

Whatever the reason, very disappointing news.

Keep rationalizing champ.
I'm sure you'll eventually work it out.

 

[Brutalitops]

Shitting on a goalkickers overall ability because of a single shank is one of the lowest footy iq things I've ever heard

 

[Dragon for life]

This could be a god-send. Get Shaun Johnson now. Like today!

Don’t bother. Mundine has said he will come back after his fight on Friday.

 

[grouch]

Idiots called Creagh a bad captain. He didn't bail at short notice with 3 years to run on his contract.

Worst captain ever.

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Where there’s smoke there’s fire! I think there is strong basis to this story.. real options because we do now have $900k to play with;
Moses
Norman
Maloney (will be released if he gets 2 year contract elsewhere)
Johnson

Mann IS NOT THE SOLUTION!

Out of that lot, Maloney is a stand out.

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

I'm sure he was moved to fullback by Bennett & was then awarded their man of the series. Not bad IMO!

That's where he would do best for us but it never happened.

 

[Redhoopz]

If it turns out to be true, it's a massive loss....

I have no issue with him leaving due to his reasoning...it's a bit odd with the timing. If Widdop then decides he wants to come back to AUS within the next 3 years, he has to come back to the Dragons.

 

[St Georgio]

If Norman is the Dragons target, then I suggest we sign him now and let Widdop go now. Parramatta are desperate to sort out their cap so I'm sure we could get Norman with no trouble.

How about this for 2019.
1.Widdop
6.Norman
7.Hunt
9.McInness

 

[Fire]

Maybe @GaryW has some mail?

 

[Twenty10]

100% true. He has asked for a release.. but not immediate. He’ll be with us next year but likely not in 2020
