He's got the fishing rod out again....

I’m still trying to interpret “beyond equal”. It feels like it means “better than” but RD would have said that if he meant it...

I would interpret it the same way as beyond the horizon which would imply lower? It must be that because after 100 games or so for us there would be more than one person on here championing his corner if he meant better!

If Dec Patton ever becomes US President, duckie has a job being that spokesperson hosting the press conferences.

“Dec has beaten COVID, befriended emperor Ming of North Korea, got world beating employment figures, is the greatest golfer in the world. Yet still we hear the fake news that he isn’t good enough to be first choice half back for the Wire. So sad. MWGA!

duckie is to Patton, as Alastair Campbell was to Tony Blair

4 more years Mr Patton

Anybody else see the interview with Widdop on facebook today?
He was asked about going home as the rumours of him leaving won't go away, and heres his chance to put the rumours to bed.
He said " I squashed this 5 weeks ago so i don't need to talk about it again. I'm here and a wire player"
Seems definitive for me, but seen things before where a player denies everything until it's confirmed.
I would like him to stay as i think he will become more consistant with his performances. He's had 2-3 games where i've thought $h!t he's awesome, but they've been few and far between.
Been a crazy year though with covid and with his family back in Aus (still a big red flag) it's not been a normal year where him and his family can get out and about etc so i'm hoping next year will be a better one and his family can finally settle in.......if he's staying that is.

Widdop is a class player. You don't achieve what he has achieved in Aus if you are poop. We just ned to work out how to get the best out of him.

Call me suspicious but "I'm here and a Wire player" is a statement about the current situation only. It says nothing about next year.

The elves at Wire have already told me he had granted compassionate contract closure following this season.

I'm surprised the club hasn't ordered it's staff to use alternative taxi services, considering the amount of leaks that come out of the club via yourself...

Ratchford will partner Austin.

Via elves, Facebook, Dec Patton or those voices?

Voices in my head.
Not sure. Siezer would be a good snap.

George Roby our England Academy hooker has been signed by Huddersfield so Ratchford in the halves is fine by me as we need to find starting places for both Matty Ashton and Josh Thewlis. Need to see much more from Doro and Longstaffe too. A solid base from the Academy is the way to go.

Sounds like there's a crisis in the gents toilets!

At the moment Ashton looks a bit shaky at the back & Ratch is wasted at halfback . He is better running into & through gaps.

I agree with you about Sezer, but can’t see it happening (I’m trying to persuade my voices otherwise).

Duckie's elves might just be right this time. Widdop won't be here next season and there's no need for any finger pointing.

It's not exactly breaking news, as there was a thread with several posts intimating he was going home the end of this season, back in the middle of September.

Awesome..which games were they.,..bang average at best

I’m not proclaiming about the speculation after his family returned to Aus. I’m just relaying the info that was passed by the elves last week. Make of it as you will.

If Widdop is here next season I'll streak round the HJ the first game we're allowed back in.

Oh please don't. There will be women and children present. Couldn't you relocate to the Wigan DW Stadium and give them lot a fright.
