Didn't get a chance to watch the game last night, however i am confused as to the conflicting comments on here where Williams was crap right through to great ???

He has been much improved this season, playing much simpler and not forcing it plus his defence has been much better, hopefully he can keep improving

He's been much improved but given he spent last year glacially walking around the park every week seemingly channelling all of his energy for one run a game where'd he'd actually put some effort in, that isn't saying much.

Still a far cry from the juggernaut he's meant to be but at least he's putting a little more effort in.

Despite being built like a 2-story house, I dont think TRex particularly enjoys running into three defenders every time he gets the ball. His greatest strength is and always will be his ball playing skills before the line.

Watched him at the game in Perth earlier in the season and he spent most of the game hanging out the back or out in the centres doing nothing. Massive waste of salary cap. Apparently origin quality?

Have you watched him recently?

Not really, its much harder to see on TV what players are doing off the ball to get involved or hide. On TV you might see the three good runs but it's the work off the ball that for me shows the character and value of forwards. One of the joys of seeing games live rather than on TV.

He has been playing better this year, but I think it's no coincidence that it has been behind a team that has been going well. Last year when they were struggling, he was struggling. T-Rex is weak mentally. When the game gets tough, he'll go missing. He is not the reason the Bulldogs have been playing better.

The Bulldogs have been playing well on the back of their halves, and other forwards like Tolman and Graham - not Williams.

The real reason he is playing better is because he is playing on the left again like he was at Manly. Not the right as he has the whole time he has been at the Bulldogs. Pritchard's injury opened up that, and it shows that he is a much better and more comfortable player on this side of the field.

Just hope Daley was paying attention to this, because I would hate to see him injected into the Origin game onto the right, and watch him flounder.

Is he the most gutless/scared player you've ever seen?

2 errors, 2 passes that weren't on resulting in errors., within 20 minutes.

Looks afraid of contact.

Surely they'll offload him first chance they get.
