Apparently ourselves and Leeds are favourites to sign Tony Williams. He's had a really good season this year compared to previous ones, so based on that I believe he would be a really good signing... Not sure how our quota availability is looking though? We seem to have more aussies/Kiwis than we have had for a long time....

hmm not sure he will come

we have another prop coming in clough from bulls, plus johnson and mason youngsters still improving.

Williams isn't a prop. He's a wide running second row. Started his career off as a winger. So can cover centre/ wing second row and probably prop... Maybe a replacement for Wardle?

dont need anymore 2nd rowers

wardle will need to be bought out of his contract for next season if hes going anywhere or loaned

gaskell is ear marked for centre/full back? another signing apparently

I'm not 100% sure but wouldn't Tony Williams be covered by the Kolpak ruling?

We have symonds, Rapira, Hinchcliffe, ikahihifo, Taai, so still have room.

He will be no better than anything we have unless we run the attacking line from deeper !!!!
