Are we seriously going to value him at this ridiculous amount just because he is "in form"? Form is temporary. Remember how rubbish he was last year?
Spot on mate. People are wetting themselves over this bloke because he has played 6 decent games this season? RL is madness these days where a bloke plays a handful of good games and suddenly he is "elite" and their asking price shoots through the roof (Think of the hype around Moses after 4-5 good games at the end of last year). It is definitely an era where "great form" is basically 2 good games in a row. Madness.
People seem to also forget that the teams the Dragons have beaten this year are mostly clubs who are in the bottom half of the comp, judgement on how good Widdop and the Dragons team as a whole are should be reserved until they have mixed it with the big guns of the NRL. They have proved nothing so far IMO.
That said, it would be great to have a better than average goalkicker if we were to sign Widdop. Would be the difference between winning or losing an extra 2 or 3 games per season.
Also Widdop being a Pom means we would never have to worry about losing him during the year if he was in good enough form to be considered for Origin. Big bonus.
