Good to see Gaz going well at 5/8 for the Storm and has played solidly in both opening games for the Storm. Made a great break today to put Billy Slater in for a record 114 tries for The Storm. Quick interview with a mate of mine Steve Mascord. [urlhttp://stevemascord.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/gareth-widdop.wav[/url Good work Gaz and keep it up. The Storm were very impressive today especially considering the past 12 months. So Professional no matter who plays for them.

Will take time for Gaz to get his footing... Almost see Slater coming 5/8th and Gaz full back eventually unless he progresses rapidly..

Just thought you might like to hear how well Gareth is going at Storm. Hopefully he re-signs soon (or goes back home to the mighty Fax

)

Halifax even got 3 mentions on the Sunday afternoon Penrith vs Storm game. Woo Hoo!!! Gareth had a great game with 3 try assists and 2 50m breaks. Looks like he's going to be a good un.

GO THE FAX!!!

Disagree mate. Billy Slater hasn't got the fight to play in the line. Widdops defence is strong enough to play there. Also Widdop sees a better pass than Slater although Slater sees the slightest gap in the line from FB and he's through it.

A FUTURE ENGLAND STAR!

CANT SEE HIM EVER PULLING ON THE BLUE AND WHITE THOUGH UNFORTUNATLY.

You never know mate.

Good stuff gareth widdop. From our old club kxp too

I found this interesting article on Gaz...

What What What!!!!!

“It was a massive achievement for me, especially after only playing a couple of NRL games,” Widdop, who as a kid supported Bradford

and Brisbane and looked up to Darren Lockyer, admits.

Is this correct? He goes down a couple of pegs in my book if that's the case - just a demi god now..

Yes it has been mentioned on here before. Gareth is a Brad**** fan.

His dad Gary fell out with Fax and the regime at the time BIG time!! having been Fax fans all their lives jumped ship to the Bulls.

Aren't most folk in Fax Bulls fans?

Sir you make me ill

He didnt impress too much last night against Manly as the Storm were steamrolled. He had a very average game in fact deputising for Cooper Cronk. Methinks his best position is stand-off as he looked a little lost at scrum half.

If you get a chance to watch the game you should, it was one of the most incredible first halves i have seen in a long time. Full of aggression and the first try was breath-taking. There was an unfortunate stoppage for a suspected neck injury to David Williams (fortunately not too bad it transpires) then straight after two monster brawls, the likes of which i havnt seen in decades (if ever). It will be interesting to see what the repercussions are as i forsee quite a few long bans as a consequence.
