Williams is shot... Gone... Not worth considering!

That's what a lot will think of him although he is the captain of the NSW cup team and is only 28. It's what Brian Smith sees in the players that'll count.

You may know more than me as I don't see the reserve grade matches....

While we're looking at players who need a way back how about Dane Nielson? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Nielsen Comes with some baggage but it's not unprecedented that he gets a chance to rebuild his career in SL, see Bird, Monaghan, Carney, Leo-Latu.

Whoever we get should displace Miller from the 17.

Don't think Miller did much wrong covering fullback today. Probably could've done with some longer studs in though.
For me the stand out waste of a shirt for quite some time now has been Riley.

We get rid of a player who supposedly brings problems and for this reason some of you are happy to see go to suggest we bring in another who also has baggage. He is also unlikely to get a visa, with regards Williams he is not the player he was after he sustained a string of serious injuries which whatever you think of Smith he cannot repair.

Yes thought Miller was very good at fullback today

Agreed. He's played well each time he's been there, without necessarily looking like a proper fullback!

In the case of Dane Nielson, His issues are off the field and aren't much different to those of Monaghan, Carney, Bird etc who still manage to be great players on the field, which is where we need it.

Sammut was a bad influence off the field and not that great on it, for us at least, so nothing like the names suggested above.

Can't agree. He didn't do much wrong but as he spent three quarters of his time slipping onto his backside so for me can't be classed as being very good. The lad needs some new studs.

Shame. He never had a chance when we only signed him to weaken Bradford. Time to move on, I hope with Collis, Paea and Sammut's wages off the bill we can bring in some players, ideally a 6 or back up 9, a centre and a FB.

You really are making yourself look a bigger fool than normal.

Three coaches and all have recognised what a waste of space this player really is.

I can forgive you on Agar and Webster but when one of the most successful coaches in RL history takes over and shows the guy the door after less than 10 days! It should tell any reasonably intelligent person all they need to know - but alas not you.

What's so hard to get here - he never got a chance you say (even though he got plenty) - why - because he never came close to deserving one - get over it.

No doubt now he will become one of those legends that never was who got away that you and a few others love to create.
