Yep. He's going OK and definitely has room to improve.

Gunco and Norman in 2017 would be a pretty good pairing if that's where we end up.

Everyone? There were certainly some people who were bagging him but it was well short of everyone. I think most of us realise one game back after a long injury layoff is a small sample size
Well it was a poor manner of speaking

Williams says he is coming to Parra to play NRL and not Wenty, so if that eventuates we have 3 centres and we are allegedly buying an NRL winger.

Gonna be interesting to see how the puzzle gets put together

That's not really his decision to make. It's good to see he has some self belief but I can't see BA selecting him in the halves if Guth proves to be the better option.

There is an article in today's Telecrap that spells it out, otherwise he would have stayed put.

I'm sure he'll be given every opportunity in preseason but there's no way he'd have it written into his contract that he plays first grade. Quite possibly the negotiating process took place before Guth had shown what he is capable of in the halves.

He would've been told he has a chance of fighting for a spot, with the salary to match (maybe $200k). Whereas his Canberra offer would have been a confirmed backup $100k or less.

It wont be in any contract, probably just talks with BA regarding where he would play. There is never any guarantee but the talks must have went well if he decided to move.

Probably because our talks involved more $$$

Has he actually signed with Parra though, is it confirmed yet?

Mad Max is like "didn't we just sign that Jamal merkin from QLD ? What do we need another reserve grade half for ?"

Who's this NRL winger?

That was my thinking, If Robbo is re-signed, that makes it 3...

At the start of this year we were all saying that our depth was massive and even pencilled in decent players having to play Ron Massey Cup.

But only a few weeks ago we struggled to put a team on the field.
