Crazy if so, we don't need to become a retirment village for players that are past it especially in positions that we are already pretty strong in. Spend the same sort of money and bring in 3-5 quality forwards would be my choice.
I'd be surprised if Widdop would command the same money as 3-5 quality forwards, Greg, but I share the same view that we could be taking on somewhat of a white elephant. He's got the size, however, to play at loose so if he's not asking for a lot and he keeps himself in trim, maybe he could be useful with all his experience.
Looks like we're announcing a retention at 5.
