Calm down...I think that the Club is already onto this one.

The club, his team mates and the members/supporters all want him to re-sign...now all it will take is Gareth Widdop wanting to re-sign.

I liked his interview at the end of the game today. Seems like a really down to earth kinda dude. Really well spoken.

I loved the fact that he mentioned that the game was being broadcast live into Melbourne for the fans. How good was that!

He had an awesome game and I hope he signs asap.

He's grown up in Melbourne. His parents live here, he went to school here and played for Altona Roosters. I think he will be the easiest re-signing in Melbourne's history. At least it's not like he's homesick or anything.

Pretty sure his parents are still up in Perth, but what will help keep him here is that his future wifey is a melbourne girl and her family are here and they are pretty settled here with their baby.

Andrew Voss remarked that his Mum & Dad would be very proud of him. I happened to be sitting several metres away from Mrs Widdop when he said that. The look on her face will live with me for a while. She was so happy she had tears welling in her eyes.

Awesome stuff!

Was that in Melbourne, Sydney or Perth because there appears to be some conjecture here about where they actually reside and what impact that may have on Gareth's decisions to stay or not stay with the Storm

I think he'll stay, Id expect him to stay. I also expect a club to put a massive offer to him and test his resolve.
