New prop : Thu Feb 11, 2016 8:18 am  

Seen a few comments on anti social media saying that Tony Williams is being touted to SL clubs, technically more of a 2nd row but when you're 6ft4 and all but 19st you have got to be big enough for the front row.

Had problems with form over the seasons but when I've seen him in the NRL he's lightening fast for his size with very good hands. Guess it depended on how (if at all) the club could accommodate him and if Sheens knows enough about him to take a punt, I wouldn't mind seeing him.

Yeah would defintley take a punt if we could, but yet again it's if we can fit him in. We are desperate for at least another forward so i would take anyone atm.

See that's why we have been in the position we have recently, just getting someone in for the sake of it has cost over the odds in fees/wages and we have ended up with square pegs for the round holes.

No I'll wait, give the younger props a go, nothing ventured nothing gained, we might end up finding a gem.

If it was to happen i guess you could shift Murdoch Masila into the front row with Williams and Huaraki/ Sarsfield/Lannon into the second row.

For me someone like Williams would be a lock, can play the full 80, brilliant hands and fits in with the new trend of having a prop sized player at FL. Boosts the physical presence of the pack and adds a certain attacking X factor.

He's the same sort of mold as Pritchard. He can fill in at halfback as well. But still is there anyway we could fit him in?

Not got a clue, we need our resident (though why he is I don't know) legal eagle Nottingham based Cas fan to give us the 100% nailed on facts.

Tony Williams was being Touted last year, and apparently we had almost signed him. Martin Vickers even posted a Picture of a T-Rex (Williams Nickname) on Twitter. I Tweeted asking if this meant he had defo signed and he removed it without reply. I assume Sheens knows him pretty well as it was him who picked him for Australia, and I assume it was him who warned us off the same as with Taylor. Hes a good player but has a rep for being Lazy and Im not sure that's what we need currently. Overseas quota is full anyway.

Another (along with Mason) who fits with the "well known" prop I was told were signing.

Sounds it but how would we get him in with the quota?
