Wonder why the Sharks couldn't afford to keep Williams due to salary cap restraints

They must have Hynes on a shit load considering that backline they have are all on peanuts.

If only they could bend and distort the cap like the ponissi of the west.....

Good signing. Hopefully we can pick up an edge forward and hooker as well.
Bronson Garlick started at 9 in the nsw cup grand final and also spent a bit of time on an edge. If we could pick him up cheap I think he’d be a good option to take the heat out of the game early before bringing hands on against a tired defence.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jack starting....was behind Teig Wilton and Nikora at Sharks and some very good middles.
He's seen the light. Knows he will never win anything at the Sharks...
We are closer to a comp than the Sharks..

No reason he can't be top 17, he has been in a good sharks side for a long time now


It's interesting what our best forward pack will be in 25.

Barlow
Hands
Joe
Kelma
Jack (A) Williams (better than Carty IMO)
Hopgood

Carty
Lane
Guymer
Matto

Moretti
Parker
Brazel
Pryke
Tuivaiti

Initially I was against Jayden Brailey but he would compliment the Williams signing.
Defence, fitness, attitude are the attributes JR wants to instil.
Although we could've got McGuire to coach I'm actually happy we got Ryles..
Take it as fact McGuire wanted to coach us but his application was pulled as he was in the middle of the Origin campaign and Parra powerbrokers wanted to keep moving forward

It seems you have Williams as an edge player but I thought he was a middle?

Apologies as I don’t really know him tbh but he seems like a middle.


Played more middle lately but is still a possibility as a second rower.

Could be a bench replacement for Hopgood and Guymer in second row. Which I prefer.

I agree with the game against the Cowboys. I thought they were favourites because of where the game was played, but we matched up reasonably well with them and may have been favourites in Sydney.

As for the GF, we didn't play well because Penrith didn't allow us to play well. Theire defensive line was incredibly fast and was up in our faces all game (some might say they were offside for quite a lot of it, but who really knows).
We were a good team, but there's no way we were even the second-best team that year. Did well to get to the GF, but like the Cowboys in 2017, we were just outclassed by an infinitely superior team.
If they were infinitely superior we wouldn’t repeatedly trouble and even beat them.
