Hasn't he been gash the last couple of years. If we signed him we should release Achurch IMO, 6 overseas players is enough.

He hasn't been great the last couple of years. Wouldn't say gash. Agree with you on amount of overseas players but should say that's there's been *nothing* linking Williams to Leeds, just that Dogs are wanting to let go. But if somehow it is Williams in, Achurch out then that's a massive improvement whatever form T-Rex is on.

Agreed.

Roberts is totally awful. Williams can be great, but is hugely lazy and generally poor.

Looks like Titans may get Hodkinson, so does that mean we don't get Roberts? Dave Parker says we might get him early to cover for Sutcliffe?

Ah, Nosey Parker.

The blunderbuss approach to rugby league gossip. Spread enough shots over a wide enough area, and one might hit the target.

True, but he was right last week about Mitch Garbutt?

Exactly what Aussies would have said about Ali before he came over then.

Really? He was the best 2nd rower in the NRL when we signed him.

I must be misremembering then. Thought he had the reputation of being outrageously talented but off-form and flaky.

He did. Given up with the game, and hence released by Wariors.
