John Williams is very underrated. When he became a regular first grader, as in when he was at the Roosters in 07 and Cowboys now, he wasn't playing in first grade sides that were consistently winning and performing, when David Williams came into first grade regularly he came into a side that was the eventual Premiers.
On top of that, his cult-figure status gives him that much more likability and familiarlity with people that he is considered a very good player, because he is well-known, something John doesn't have, infact I believe he doesn't even have a nickname? I have mates who don't even follow footy all that well, but they all know who the Wolfman is. Don't get me wrong, I think both of them are very good wingers, they played at my junior club, but honestly, I think John's name will be tossed around a lot more often, when he is playing in a side that is a top four side, consistently which, the Cowboys may do this year. I mean look at McManus this year, made NSW, I bet no one picked that at the start of the year?
