Didn't work out the %'s just the total number of missed tackles. Not saying Williams is a bad player at all just stating that Browns defence isn't as bad as some would have us believe

You don't judge a half primarily on defending, but Williams' defence is very good; no issues there. And in attack he is coming on a treat this season.

Sometimes ............

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

Really like Williams. Wane has so far been right picking him over the over-rated and over-hyped Hampshire.

Hard to judge really. Hampshires form dropped off a cliff as soon as the Sam Tomkins news was announced but he's no full back and never will be. He's never really had a chance at Wigan at stand off and that's his natural position. I doubt we'll ever see him get a run in the halves at Wigan.

My guess is eventually he moves to another club, plays at stand off and goes on to become one of superleagues best players and a full international.

We'll see though.

To be fair, if Hampshire was to get a run in the halves then either williams or Smith has to be dropped. Tough call I'd say.

It's Not as though wane won't play Hampshire, and obviously wants to try and find a place for him hence the full back spot. Does anyone think he should pick williams and Rocky to start in the halves?

Does Rocky have a kicking game?

I think Nigel Wright was younger than Martyn. So I'd probably go for him - then Martyn.

Like Martyn (and the generation prior's finest - Tony Myler) - Wright's career was blighted by injury. No surprise that so many have forgotten his name.

I know a lot of people hate him, but Lee Briers for me.

It gets easier to like him the longer he's retired.

Williams does have the burden of the most overrated scrum half in SL playing next to him. So he's not doing badly at all.

He's dropped Williams to the bench twice this season and put Powell in and all the talk from Wane is about Hampshire being a full back so he certainly doesn't seem to think he's a viable option.

I agree though that it's difficult to get him in there without an injury because in the main Williams and Smith have settled down now and they're playing some good stuff. I'd consider putting him on the bench and giving him the odd dart in the halves but I doubt we'll see that anytime soon.

Briers was a scrum half for many years before moving to stand off. So it's a push to call him a "natural".
