is he really a loss ? just every time i see him he looks fat and unfit and does not do a great deal. I am sure you have better in your system than another overpaid Aussie ??? Correct me if I am wrong

Yes he is a loss, been one of our best forwards since he came over. He may look unfit but that is decpetive he has scored a 70m try v bradford, and a 50m one v salford before now, on average scores a try every 3 games, often while playing from the bench. He can spend longer times on the pitch than eastwood. When shifted to centre last year he was targeted as a 'weak link' but held firm (against hudds he made 40 tackles at centre and didnt let them through), and he was the differance between us winning and losing in several matches last year. How can you say he is overpayed when you dont know how much he is on?

Spot on pyeman and the other guy. It might be a blessing in disguise losing Dean if we can put Stuart Jones back in the back row and use Netherton off the bench. Jones for me isn't at his bet at 9 and if Netherton can rediscover his form from the start of last season then losing Dean might not be too much of a blow. But Widders is a decent player and will always make my 17. As stated, his effort at Huddersfield last year was immense, he'd barely played a longer stint then 20 minutes then to go 80 against a very good Huddersfield team in which they scored once, shows he is a good athlete.

who needs flankers? wrote: Hope he isn't out too long! http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... dders.html Thankfully 2nd row is one position we have well covered. Snitch is looking like one hell of a signing, but Widders is a good impact player from the bench. Did he break his pie eating arm, my god he is a big lad - he could be quite good if he was in condition.

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's all fun and frolics this afternoon isn't it? And oh SO original too. Looks like you're up for the Perrier Award this year.

Yes it was irony.... I know they've not been the Perrier Awards since 2005. I just thought one tired old joke deserved another!

Nah, Solomona was good, more akin to Owen Cragie (who also liked a pie)
