Joe Williams is the goods!

[Special K]

Williams would be the goods in a good side. Shame the Roosters went with Finch for the bloke.

funny though how finch is up there with the leaders in the dally m award :roll:

That's why I said for the bloke.. Meaning it is a shame for Joe they didn't have faith in him in the long run :roll:

 

[Moffo]

im willing to give him more time, i thought he showed good signs

And yes, this topic will be dragged back up in a few weeks time

I'm dragging it back up now Moffo

Joe Williams had a blinder against the Storm and more than matched the classy Matt Orford

It looks like we may have the first genuine halfback at Souths - something we havent really had since Craig Field left

 

[Moffo]

My stance is vindicated 8)

:lol:

 

[TRANSLATION]

Just seen the first 1/2, this guy has a future....good passing and a good kicking game, why did the rooters let him go???????

Dean Byrne in reserve grade is better than Williams.

Problem, is like all halfbacks, they need forwards.

They did a job on Melbourne last night. Yet they did not have Stringer, nor geddes, nor j Smith and Fletcher.

Well done souths.

 

[Big Mick]

I think WIlliams is the goods and better than byrne to be honest.

Dean Bryne has had plenty of chances at saints and souths and has done nothing. He is just a footballer, whereas Joe Williams has been impressive and has shown signs he could be something special in the future.

I've got a feeling in 5 years, Matthew Head and Joe Williams will be fighting for rep jerseys, much like Gower v Kimmorley.

 

[Special K]

I rate Byrne. I thought he played better than Firman last year for the queens.

Maybe they should give him a run at 6 with Williams at 7 as both are talented

 

[viva_la_bam]

He isnt anything special to me. Didnt defend well at all the only thing i seen him do good was kick goals. Thats it.

no he isn't.....yet.

i was waiting for a forum / magazine to start calling joe williams as the second coming of andrew johns or some bs after last nights game, some don't disappoint.

the only thing you saw the guy do was kick goals last night ? you didn't watch the game nor can you make an intelligent comment about his performances if that is the case.

from another thread i posted in:

simply joe williams is a talented footballer who is still unproven in 1st grade despite a points win over matt orford tonight. the key for souths fans and souths coaching staff is to see if this guy backs it up week in week out. remember, we have had 14 different number 7's since returning who at one stage looked like the one to inherit the position.

i have watched the guy a fair bit as a lower grader and the ability that stands out the most is his kicking game whether it be long or short or kicking goals.

he can pass off both sides with the same distance and accuracy with a clever step holding the ball in 2 hands putting doubt in the opposition mind.

his defence is not as bad as some above have suggested ? i ask do you attend rabbitoh lower grade games ? he was not up to scratch last start in his rookie game i give you that, but he has not been questioned before hand in premiere league. if anything, his consistency has been questioned where he can be dominant one week, then step back a gear the next.

i ask souths management to protect the kid from journo's looking for another feel good souths hard luck story and let him concentrate on being a week in week out nrl player not a flash in the pan.

gives the new coach for 2005 something to get excited about though, if the form remains consistent, he gives us more options on the player market as well....

joe williams could be a flash in the pan, we have had many. i certainly hope he is the goods, but he has to show me week in week out consistency before i start jumping on the bandwagon that the so called 'knowledgable' fans of today may well do.

Well done to Joe Williams last night. He was the difference. I can't say that he has arrived totally yet because a good player is alot more than just one good performance. He looked alot more comfortable with Owen Cragie taking the pressure of him. I reckon that last pass was touched in flight though. Souths deserved the win though.

 

[Choppies]

I had the pleasure of watching him in the 2002 Jersey Flegg season
Good Buy Rabbitohs
and good win last night

 

[budz]

Well Williams and his mates carved up my touch team in around 1998 so he must be good! :lol: :lol:

 

[Earl]

Williams is on a tenth of what Orford ons (money wise) but totally out played him last night.

Nah, niether of them will get past M Monaghan

 

[Godz Illa]

He's got a great long-passing game. Its almost Andrew Johns-like in length and accuracy, and it offers his team great width in attack.

 

[Moffo]

He is giving them an exhibition at the moment on the foxsports replay

This guy will be anything, he is setting up tries, kicking 40/20s...can't believe the roosters got rid of him

Just reading through an old thread ..

How did Joe Williams turn out?

 

[Ari Gold]

Poor guy got jinxed by moffo

 

[Whats Doing]

I saw him at the national schoolboy championships and he was brilliant.

Never kicked on in grade.

 

[babyg]

I saw him on the barefoot rugby league show a while back. I think he's a welfare officer

One of your best Moffo lmao
