The Jack Williams issue

[lolesi]

It’s frustrating because I find catching so important in rugby league, maybe it’s just me.

drop (irony) the giant potato until he can catch. how hard is it

 

[Card Shark]

unforced errors make him look like a reserve grader.

& opposition players target him in the ruck with stray hands.

He needs to keep his mind on the job & he can cut those errors out of his game.

 

[snout]

It is so fixable.
But not mid season

 

[Card Shark]

True

I think it’ll only be fixed with experience.

Probably won’t be better for a couple of years.

It really REALLY SUX when he drops the ball when things are looking good!!!!
Fix any sight problems- then repetitive drills under pressure ( throw water at him at same time hes catching it or something )where securing the ball is priority. Till it is just automatic.Then on field assignment ONLY- Catch ball #1 cart it up WITHOUT dropping it. Play Ball without losing it.. Nothing else .. Probably bench prop for a season . IF the problem is fixable It wouldn't take all that long. Anyway that's my expert opinion straight off the farm!!!

Jack Williams is averaging 3.57 errors a game or an error every 6.7 times he touches the ball...

Sorry K, going to have to come out of retirement to call you out on this one.
Stats on NRL and FoxSports sites have him at a total of 10 for the year, or an average of 1.25 per game.

Still not great, but nothing like what you claim here.
Fact check guys, it's not hard...

Of his two on the weekend, one was a rake from the opposition. The other was indefensible, but probably due to fatigue after working his ass off for the early exchanges.
Maybe the coach needs to recognise when he needs to be rested a little earlier.

He is going great - handling could improve but overall one of our best

 

[chewsta]

Has he always had pumpkins for hands?
Surely you dont make it this far with that sort of a problem.

Since Chad likes to crab across field for the inside ball, just get Williams one wide and Chadley can run across and hand it to him NFL style. No catching required.

True

And I think the more of a deal you make of it the worst it might get, it's already probably causing mind games for him.

I think it'll take less than that. He just needs to put together a game with no errors and the metres he made against the Titans, then it should fall into place.

Again he's better than Billy or Sorenson. I could handle moving Graham to Lock and bring in Teig with Williams off the bench but no one on the bench deserves to be dropped. And I doubt Williams will go from starting to completely dropped.

 

[Frenzy.]

You love having a target for the season. Only fair to allow others to play along.

It was a joke.

Special K would of known it. We go way back. I think he was in nappies back in the Beer Hill days.

Knew what a MILF was though.

 

[Mr Angry]

Over this guy. Offload ASAP, Tigers need middles.

Fifita, Woods, Uele, Tolman, Hunt, Rudolf, Pele, Vasquez.

Williams has not improved.

Agree use money from him to help land us a half or fullback

 

[Inferno]

He would be cheap and is still young. He can improve I would hang onto him.

We turned him into a middle when we should have left him as a proper 2nd rower. Not too late to turn him back.

It is too late I thought this guy had ability, I was wrong.
How many times does he drop the ball
Missed tackles
Penalties and 6 to go he is a liability, even bomber my god dropped him last year, he has made no improvement
