Look there is no bigger Sika Manu fan than me when he was young and fit, but for the last 3-4 seasons the guy has the dodgiest ankles in the NRL.
Suffice to say that he is out AGAIN with an ankle injury. He is definitely not the player that he could of been. Also he has a lazy streak in him, so going away from a Craig Bellamy coached team may make that even worse.
If anyone thinks that any club will sign him for less then 300+ then they are delusional.
I'll say it again, for around 400 000 Williams is worth every cent. He is the best edge forward in the game bar none, and I am including Thaiday in that also.
In my opinion if we aren't the club that succeeds in signing him, then I deem our recruitment ability to be very poor. By the way what sort of coin do people think players like Greg Eastwood, Michael Ennis, Frank Pritchard and James Graham are on compared to the pack of forwards that we will be retaining for next year? So IF they can fit Williams in somehow, then we are useless in attracting the very best without having to pay totally ridiculously over the top coin to secure the very best players.
I'll say it again, imo we should only be going after two forwards on the market for 2013. They are TW and JWH.
We need to keep the rest of our powder dry to launch a full assault on Jarryd Hayne or else we will be in major strife when it is time to talk turkey with our superstar player.
