Widdop>Briers imo. And hes only 23 and has the potential to make the England no 6 shirt his own for years to come.

Can someone point me in the direction of a big game Widdop has had? Genuinely, I'll download it and have a watch.

Whenever I've seen him he's just a steady bag carrier for Cronk/Slater/Smith.

Better than Briers? Not even close from what I've seen of him.

Only way a GB+Ire tour would work is if people stopped using Ireland and the rest as a stepping stone to England. If the likes of Bridge and Brough still played for Scotland/Ireland then a mixed side would be quite different. As it is it'd be the England side + Pat Richards.

Pat has said he wouldn't play for GB

I think Bilko asked him on twitter last night and he said yes, but that may of been GB & I im not 100% certain . Not that im saying bring GB back anyway because hes the only player i can think of thats worth bringing in

Not on this seasons form

About a month ago against the Broncos (I think), most of the big Storm players like Cronk etc didn't play and Widdop carried the whole team that day basically.
