I hope he goes well & hope he’ll bring an air of professionalism that’s not currently at the club, but I genuinely think his ability has been overrated. I’ve watched NRL, not religiously, for years & I thought he was good for a couple of years, but that’s about it - good - sometimes you just don’t see what others do in a player though so happy to accept your comments.

I think the same also pal
We do all see things different

Think he’ll defo bring some professional to the cas team too
He’s a very calm head widdop
A good signing for sure

Widdop is past his best, I don’t think that’s in doubt.

However it can go two ways. He might enjoy an Indian summer or carry on downhill, it’s the risk you take.

A huge amount depends on whether him and Miller gel.

See Corey Norman left Toulouse - still got 6 games of his bum poking suspension , but can’t really see any other sl club being interested

Will be interesting if a player like this fits in with Applegarth ethos, as he's hardly squeaky clean. I don't know what his attitude is on bad boy players but this signing would certainly tell us.

That said I'm sure the RL news sites get their stories and opinions off these forums.

I’m not keen on the idea of Norman. I’d rather see us look at Wakeham or even Abrahams to further develop his game. I wasn’t impressed with the few times I saw him at Toulouse.

There’s that Corkhill at saints who’s a young half who they seem a touch surprised he’s left.

Still tight lipped from the club but I can imagine there are lots of conversations ongoing.

Saw that AJ Wallace has made his way into the Jamaica team. Young second row who might be worth a look.
