I do, i think Cornish is a star in the making but Williams already has runs on the board in FG so that cant be discounted.
Certainly i think the club thinks Cornish is the better long term option and at some point we will have to make a call between the two of them, i dont think we are at a point to have to do that right now. A 2 year deal with Williams would probably be the best and make the call later.
Maybe the club has already decided that Cornish is their guy, if so, i could and probably will be wrong about Williams staying in Canberra, but i think the club will try and get a short term deal with him (which should suit him since if he plays to potential, he'll be in for another large pay increase in 2 years time) so we've got time to fully assess both
As for the peanut gallary, surely you blokes arent thick enough to think that the order in which people re-sign is the order in which they are prioritised? Vaughan and McIlwrick would have had pretty much no other offers to consider, we could have opened negotiations with them monday and had it finalised today. Sam Williams, Joel Thompson, Jarad Croker, Josh Papalii are obviously a very much more in demand players, so negotiations take time.
We'll see but as i said, i dont like Saints chances.
