Widdop seeks release

[Brutalitops]

You can't really believe he wants to come to England? It does make any sense.

I believe that there's more to it. Someone who lives somewhere since age 15, is on almost a million already and just signed a 4 year deal with a local wife and kids doesn't just up and move around the world for what certainly won't be more money.

I think there is a catalyst for it, maybe a family issue or something we can't see. Which is why I'm not going to bitch about it if he is released. It must be very important to him to give all that up

There goes 2019.

No club in England can get anywhere near his current contract. Like you have surmised, something else is going on here.

Shattering news he is our best player goal kicker captain and helps duffy's game he is also our mp who does a lot of things that goes unnoticed homesick buĺlshit their is something fishy going on here that could wreck our season please dont try to tell me mann or field can replace gaz because they cant reckon mary would be shutting bricks

Just confirms what I have always thought.
Thanks for not much
29 and homesick...very cute

Kids get homesick, ADULTS manage it
Adults sort it out and plan the change, not seek immediate releases, in my opinion
As far as I am concerned this tells me why Widdop has never reached the heights he promised, it’s always about him
Surely he could say ....how about this is my last year, not 3 more.
or back a few months ago he could have said it, not months into the off season.
Plenty on here will support him in this, well frankly I don’t.

You're a piece of shit.

I think you'd be best suited to a career as a punching bag.

There goes 2019.

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.

 

[Dragons4me]

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.

No such luck.

This news simply underscores what is wrong with our club.
You are talking about theTeam Captain just up and leaving!!?
Loyalty - zero.
Flashy and impressive when the forwards are dominating.
Unable to close out games and soils his shorts when the games are tight.
In spite of the support he enjoyed by many fans, Widdop was one of our long term problems.
Overrated. over paid and over here.
Couldn't stand his weak kneed captaincy and pathetic presence sitting next to McGregor facing the press.
Hope this opens the door for a key signing that will actually provide some real game management and balls in the halves.
As much as I like watching Shaun Johnson play, he is in the same mold as Widdop and is not a specialist 5/8 as well. He is not the answer.
However, a tough nut like Maloney may well be the perfect foil for Hunt.
Of the younger brigade AJ Brimson is a standout in my opinion and we should pull out all the stops to sign him long term.

Congratulations on possibly the stupidest post of the day.

 

[Red V for life]

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.

I'd be jumping to conclusions here, but I'd be more inclined to think a possible breakdown in relations between coach & captain could be the catalyst here.
It seems bizarre for a captain to walk out on his club as the leader.

I don't think something like that would lead to an England move, he could walk into any NRL club if he wanted

 

[dragon thomo]

Has Cameron Munster signed. Also sack McGregor

Not if the club declined his release to another NRL club. Our club does have history in creating spin!

 

[jeffdragon]

Need a replacement asap

 

[ViceVersa]

We need a recuitment update from Millward. He needs to address this circus

 

[Como Connection]

Need a replacement asap

Kurt Mann !

Hope he doesn't go to England for 12 months then comes back and links up with bennet at souths

 

[dangerousdave]

If he's homesick, that surely means Melbourne

 

[Pommy]

Does anyone really believe he is homesick? He moved here as a minor, and has spent almost half his life here. Realistically this is home at this point.
