Nice summation. I’ve thought the Sharkies bench has for the most part been excellent this season and Williams certainly has helped with that from when I’ve watched. Happy to have him onboard.Jack is a love/hate player for a lot of Sharks fans due to his hands. His handling has improved a lot but there are a lot of scars in our fan base around his handling over the years. Often the errors came at the worst possible times such as vs the Warriors when he came on with 3 minutes left, drops the ball on our 35 and the Warriors go and score to win the game for example.
He is an out and out first grader who will bust his arse every week. You can never say he didn't give 100% and often the errors were from trying too hard. He was rated by our coaching staff as one of the strongest defenders in the middle. He was one of our better players in a number of games this season.
Williams was probably one of the best off contract players on the market. You could play him as a small prop/13 but his work off the bench is very good. 3 years is interesting but you haven't broken the bank to get a real professional who will give it his all and it isn't as if at 31 he will be busted. Can't see a downside for any club including the Sharks(outside of our cap pressure/jnrs) giving him that deal.
I reckon it’s Penrith
If it was any other club we would have heard by now. I reckon you are right. They lost out on Utoikamanu to replace JFH and others. It makes the most sense based on no announcement has been made.I reckon it’s Penrith

Ivan & Reg had a falling out.I reckon it’s Penrith
Too much for Guymer, he is on a development contract for 2025. So costs us nothing (under the cap or spot wise).Thinking about effective cap management. By letting go of RCG we have been able to sign/re-sign 3 players with first grade experience. Jack Williams, Moretti and Guymer. I reckon collectively they are on about the same money that RCG was on in 2025.
Williams : $350k
Moretti : $150k
Guymer : $150k.

It's why the Wiggle was pissed and had a cry to the media...
His not a lone ranger half the competition doHe hates Reed Mahoney too.
We re-signed him and announced same. It wasn’t for nothing. $150k is fair.Too much for Guymer, he is on a development contract for 2025. So costs us nothing (under the cap or spot wise).

Moretti was already a Top 30 contract for 2025 with RCG still here.Thinking about effective cap management.
