Just heard that Widdop wants back into the NRL..
Apparently the saints are hoping for a swap between him and Norman..
If it fails to go ahead though,Widdop wants back into the NRL regardless..
He would be a great get for us,and negate the need to re-sign Foran..
A plus that he goal kicks also..
Thoughts guys

No thanks. Stick with the youth. If we can snag a Starling or Burton next year. Concentrate on some big aggressive boppers we have done really good young back rowers comming through. And don’t want loose them because of a Widdop. Good thought but

no more injury prone players, they are not worth the risk for the money they command

I have no issue with letting Foran walk, assuming he still can by years end, but not sure widdop is the answer. Scared of injury prone players after Foran

LOL he went back home and then remembered what England was like so now he wants to come back. Either that or the missus wants to come back home
Burton for mine so thanks but no thanks

Yeah , he’d be a great buy. Can play fullback as well.

Widdops last year at the dragons was largely underwhelming if I remember correctly. No Thanks.

No no no... Let Widdop come back and play well for years to come. Cross our fingers that Clune plays out of his skin for the rest of the season and next. Why you ask? Well dragons have a insanely good young half we tried to sign late 2018 Jayden Sullivan, he's not off contract until the end of 2022 I believe, but the longer his path is blocked the better a poaching opportunity become. I know Biondi Odo has wraps on him but imo a halves pairing of; 6. M.Burton 7. J.Sullivan would be amazing

I dont think Foran is going anywhere i expect him to sign up again soon. Its a Shame we dont have a contract where as you don't play you don't get paid thats what we need for Foran

He can only come back to the dragons. It was in his release clause. Unless Dragons do t want him which is unlikely

Dragons want to ship Norman over to the UK to get Widdop back. For me Id rather have a younger guy with talent who wants to prove himself, like Burton.

Norman comes across as a mug lair but if he is getting released from Dragons it should be noted that he can play halves and fullback. Could do well under Barrett.

For the record I think a very green/rookie halves combination is a disaster. It’s quite amazing, after four years of dog shit and saving up for a phenomenal ‘war chest’ we will probably still have the worst spine in the comp. go figure.
