Dugan and Widdop to leave dragons thanks to Ben Hunt

Posted by RazorRam0n on February 15, 2017 at 10:25am

I hear dugan's now chasing top $ and putting himself on the open market thanks for the money the dragons paid Ben Hunt.

Would that have happened to us? Unlike the dragons we locked and loaded our roster before needing to chase a big signing.

Dragons don't see Dugan as a fullback that's why he's leaving.

Widdop probably leaving due to Ben Hunt but he probably just wants out of St. George anyway.

Wouldn't take either.

both will get good money elsewhere.
im sure Knights will go hard after Widdop now they lost Mullen.

  i really hope not, we need a halfback not a 5/8th, we have arguably the best 5/8th in the comp not playing in his best position. benji had to play halfback because widdop can't and even with benji gone they're trialling out a handful of reggiest at halfback because widdop can't play there

  God let's bloody hope not

  Why another 5/8?

I'd take widdop, he would form again under BA and in the parra environment...plus he can kick goals

Don't think I'd take either of them, a couple years ago before we discovered French in First Grade I would have taken Dugan to play Fullback, and I would have taken First Year at the Dragons Widdop, but not the Widdop running around now.

Ras is spot on here Norms is a natural running 5/8 if we look we look at a 7 and no Raz this would not of happened at Eels if Hunt came because we were looking at him at a lot lower price and Dragqueens swooped and other a motza to nab him..Can't blame Hunt for grabbing it..
