Gutted. I was really looking forward to seeing him in action again this season.

Wish him all the best though.

Welcome home,Billy.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Hopefully he can get the workhorse attitude back into the knights team.

 

[Terminator]

Put him back in, god why not?

 

[northey]

so he is coming back now????

so firs he was then he wasn't and now he is

 

[Terminator]

Why the hell cant he play, didnt he want to play overseas this year anyway?

 

[innsaneink]

He stuffed around a lot of people didnt he?

 

[Danish Moo Cow]

I think he retired from the NRL for a reason... and I doubt that reason is likely to change. He's too old.

Good luck to him getting into the younger forwards though.

 

[Terminator]

Hes only 33 isnt he?

 

[Danish Moo Cow]

Yeah, but look at the age of the people he'd have to outplay to get back into the team.

 

[northey]

Yeah, but look at the age of the people he'd have to outplay to get back into the team.

but billy is like the broncos (london) best player am i right.. or they think of him very highly

it would be fantastic if he could play.. and i don't doubt that given the chance he would play

 

[Danish Moo Cow]

London aren't the best side in England.

He's signed to coach here, and that'll be that.

 

[northey]

London aren't the best side in England.

i know they are not the best team.. but i said he was their best player

good he is a coach.. well he can get us to a grand final!!!

 

[roopy]

I think he will be an amazing coach - but which team will he be taking on?

I didn't know we had a vacancy.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

Thank god he came back!
Its no coincidence that the defence dropped off when he left
INTO EM BILLY!!!!!!

 

[Gidsgal]

Welcome home Billy, Its great to have ya back!!!!!

 

[socksie]

considering he was such a valued broncos player, the fact that he turned them down to coach the knights indicates to me that he probably didnt want to play the game anymore, and that he'd rather coach the knights than play.

either way, i'm glad to see him back

 

[Danish Moo Cow]

He's assistant trainer, BTW, guys. Not exactly coaching, but his fitness levels as a player will be great to pass on to the players coming through.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

In 2001 his form was first class. In 2002 it fell away a fair bit. I've heard reports that he went well in england, but at 33, his best football is behind him, so an off field role with the knights will be beneficial I feel.

 

[roopy]

I've heard it was a three year deal he signed, and the London Broncos have said it was too good a 'coaching' deal for him to pass up.
I think he will be given a junior team this year - or maybe they will wait till next year.
If it were me i'd give him Harold Mathews and let him follow the same boys up through ball and flegg over the next three seasons.
