I knew you'd enjoy that comment

A bunch of the local players are still so young though. Its a bit unfair giving the likes of Bolger and O'Callaghan stick. Only played a handful of games! Its the likes of McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Clubb who have practically gone backwards when they should be leading from the front.

As for Williamson - he's an experienced NRL player, and yet offers so little going forward. I take on your comment about his defensive abilities from yesterday, but really, thats only half the game. Gareth Ellis is one of my favourite players, for example, because he excels at both attacking and defending. From Williamson i've seen plenty of the latter but sod all of the former.

Of course, the real culprit is McDermott. He's responsible for the general air of cluelessness surrounding the team.

Dave - probably because he's earning about 5 times what the young locals are on and he offers no leadership whatsoever. Williamson is a disgrace just going through the motions and taking a pay packet. We are really missing leaders without Purdo and he's the first player I look to. Mbu could tackle like a machine but apparently that wasnt enough.

I don't disagree with regards to his earnings bit labelling him a disgrace? What exactly is Williamson meant to do surrounded by a team full of deadwood? Do you expect him to score a hat-trick every game and kick all of the goals? His credentials speak for themselves, he tackles like a machine and we rarely even have the ball for him to do anything.

He's supposed to offer a lift, as danny williams and lee hopkins did so well when we needed it. Tackle harder, hurt the opposition, intimidate them, encourage the less experienced guys! Anything! Not jog around like a useless tubby journeyman forward.

He's obviously done something to upset you as you are talking rubbish. Knock your pint over after the game?

And dave concedes defeat by talking gibberish.

I'm conceeding defeat? Williamson is one of our better forwards - but like I said, unlike Williams and Hopkins, he is surrounded by poor players and is constantly on the back foot. Not his problem.

I agree about Williamson (as long as he doesn't give those cheap penalties for lying on) He was brought in mainly as a tackler and that is what he does well on the whole, but he cannot carry the whole team.

Spot on.

He can scarcely carry his own weight!
