But apparently we were getting bent over by player managers?
You need to think about why we lost those players if keeping them was as simple as giving them whatever they asked for.
But he didn’t go at the end of 2023, which is when his last contract ended. This way we keep him until the end of 2025. Do you not see the difference? It’s two extra years. And he is a much better player than Talagi.
You seem to think we’re in a better bargaining position now than we were at the end of 2022, since none of our recent contracts have player options. Where’s your logic? We suck now. Hardly a great bargaining position. At the end of ‘22 we had just made the finals for four straight years. The last time we did that was 2001.
Not that it means a lot, but Williams is listed as a second rower on his official profile:

Because I disagree.
Great mobility. He's exactly what we need. Maybe it is very exciting after all.
A sneaky PO should get him over the line
He has only started four NRL games on the edge. Incidentally they were all losses. Small sample but

gutho?
Yeah you don’t want him playing on an edge unless it’s to cover during a game.
I think we were looking at him a few years ago ? Anyway he brings a good attitude. A straight up n down player. No baggage and apart from a horror 2022, it looks like he's not a croc.
