I was waiting to see how long it took for poss to bring up Millward :joy: thanks Poss!!!!

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 , no , not Gareth ! Why couldn’t it be Mary that is homesick ?

Seriously I for one do not wish to lose him , undoubtedly he has faults in some areas of his game , but he is also a damn good player whom the club would miss more so in the end of season matches . I hope this is only media bullshat and nothing more.

If Widdop’s shoulder is stuffed I’d release him now. Or renegotiate his contract down to the 2019 season. If he suffers another injury to the same shoulder playing for us in 2019 his chances of getting an English contract would diminish and he’d want to ‘fulfil’ his St G contract.

He's in the conversation for best 5/8 in the world in my book. Would hate to lose him but family comes first

If reports are true then:

Widdop stays with us for 2019.

The target then should be Corey Norman. His game as a 5/8 would compliment Hunt very nicely. He is also off contract at the end of 2019.

Co-incidence?

Locking in Norman now for 2020 and beyond would be a very astute move and may explain why we have been very quiet on the recruitement front.

Johnson a big no. His game has crashed considerably since his ankle injury.

Gareth there is some truth to it. He will be with this year but mybe not after that.

Well, who said the offseason is boring.

Would be very surprised if Widdop had not previously made his intentions clear to the club.

I am a proponent of OT's JFK conspiracy theory.

Hope Widdop plays out 2019 with Saints.

If the club were able to secure Norman or Munster immediately I would let him go now.

The club can't afford to play Widdop if his heart and focus are elsewhere.

It may prove to be Field's opportunity to trial at 5/8 before we attempt to sign a high profile 5/8.

Personally, I would attempt to target A.J. Brimson asap as a long-term solution.

One thing is for sure Lomax and Field should start practising their goal kicking as it may be the key to playing FG.

Makes sense, last years haircut was a cry for help.

He thought if he went bottle blonde Peter Dutton would send him home.

Of course with the sexy blonde look Dutton might have mistaken him for an au pair with that European accent and tried to f**k him instead.

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.
