am happy for him to play like he did Friday but its been his first good game for the club in my opinion - maybe his experience might help in the big games ahead

How would you know he had a good game on Friday when you apparently live in Aus? It's pretty clear at this point you're just a fairly rubbish troll.

because I subscribe to trinity tv

Well you've presumably watched all the other games he's played well in this season then.

There is at least 3 games where he has provided the winning pass or kick?

Leading the team with 16 assists, only two less than golden boy Gale. I bet you wish all our players were as bad as him!

I agree with you there Jakey.

It has taken time for him to settle, but for me since about the halfway point of the weekly rounds, I have seen enough to warrant a contract extension.

Would like to see him do a bit more of the kicking on the last as I think he is better at this then Finny, but Finny is the better goalkicker.

It does though seem to have gone quiet over him staying, and the longer it is, probably the less likely he will stay. With this in mind, plus the fact that I think we need to start looking at Finnys successor, I think of the right half back came along, within budget, there would be nothing wrong in taking an interest

I think comparing Finn and Williams is a bit of a red herring. At the moment Finn is better in almost every way imho. However if you look at finnwhen he was Williams age then you have a more interesting comparison. I'd say Williams is better than Finn was at that age. So long term Williams looks a good bet.

Watched the game back on TrinityTV with TC and cameraman Andy Davies, Williams try from the scrum was a throw back. Good old fashioned running stand off try.

I think he's been solid all year to be honest, good defensively.

Williams played his bed game for club , admittedly behind a pack that was dominating throughout . TBH he owed us one , decent defensive performance and odd cut out pass does not make a scrum half or stand off imo. Havibg said that as millers fit cc now has a dilemma drop Williams or annikin from last weeks team ?

Sam took a little time to settle in.... but most players do! I thought he played the same game as he usually does but against widens the pack was totally dominant...

Interestingly he leads the club 'try assist' stats by quite a long way!

Ps there will be a number of changes to Sunday's team imo... think Kirmo Lynne (maybe) Hasson and Miller will be in the 17

Probably for England Huby arundel and Annakin

He's certainly the guy you want with the ball in his hand when we get anywhere near the opposition line.

saint 2 try assist Williams seven tackle set,sainst 3rd try try assist Williams with a ridiculous chip- great kicking game

Ok you finally got me...:

There are no highlights on line that show what you have just described... so I can only draw an assumption that you know the rest because you are not who you claim to be ... a resident of Cronulla?!? And you have the benefit of either British tv highlights or you were at the game...

Or are you just a troll who makes stuff up ...

As you claim to be a St George fan I ask if you were at the game against Manly yesterday... it was a beautiful day in the Gong ... I spent the afternoon sat by the lighthouse listening to the crowd at the game... there were some disgruntled Sea Eagle faces who had left the game at half time!!!



As trinity fans in the south of Sydney we should meet for a beer...

Williams was ok yesterday probing the line a fair bit nearly scoring himself and laying one on a plate for a Reece who dropped it when it would otherwise have been a certain try.

The pack got dominated yesterday and when that happens any half backs are going to find it hard to control the game

On several occasions yesterday when we were attacking near the line, every time he was surrounded by Saints players. How many times in the past have we stood off other teams creative players and not closed them down. Could lessons be learnt there moving forward.

It was the perfect example of how to close down creative players, thus redecing their options.

Also, it shows the threat that opposing teams fear that he poses

You say it as if they weren't trying to quickly close down the Saints attack as opposed to the fact that they couldn't as Saints were winning pretty much every PTB and Roby was tearing us apart.

It is a general observation I have made Jakey over the course of a period of time.

How maby occasions have you seen when we give opposing halves so much time on the ball.

They showed a good example of how to close down the creative players thus reducing their options

TBH that's always been my main gripe with trinity, over the years, the defensive line don't seem to press up on the attack as other teams do, certainly not as fast. Although I must admit I think this has got a little bit better this season I still think we give them too much time.

Last tackle as well, oppositions half back seems to have all the time in the world to place a kick regardless whether they are on a roll steamrolling us or if we have them pinned down winning the battle, pressure on a kicker can make all the difference.

Exactly my point Wildcat26.

Williams wasnt allowed any time on the ball yesterday.

I also agree to a point that we havent done that as much lately, but do recall that creeping back in against Leeds a few weks ago.

He wasn't allowed any time on the ball because the pack was being dominated. If your forwards are consistently winning the collision and the team is on the front foot then your halves will have all the time in the world.

Exactly. Roby was cutting us up around the ruch and McCarthy Scarsbrook and Amor were awesome. Their line speed became terrifying
