Some of the moaners on here might just appreciate how good Williams is in the next few weeks.

Oh come on. Do you actually believe he has been worth his contract this season?

I thought with loans a player can’t be recalled unless they had been there at least a month?

His initial loan was a month and now he's on a weekly rolling loan.

As I posted the other day.
Half back.
Most metres, most clean breaks and most tackle busts. Second for try assists. What more do you want?
And I bet he's probably also most tackles as well.

I'm afraid it's always the tall poppy syndrome with some fans. Build them up to chop them down.
Now I'm not saying he's been perfect this season but generally he's not been as bad as many on here have said.

I'd rather have hin playing here than at Wire, Saints, Leeds or Hull etc.

I don’t think he has been poor. He has however got so much more potential than he is showing. Much much more.

I totally agree he’s definitely not shown his best form for most of the season but the lad is a fabulous rugby player. I reckon people are too hung up on marquee status. It was 100% the right call to keep him at the club and it took marquee money to do it. Form is temporary but class is permanent and I’m sure he’ll put a lot of egg on a lot of faces before this season is over.

I hope egg is on my face. I’ll quite happily give credit where it’s due, equally I’ll criticise when I think it’s warranted - as many do on here.

Look I don’t think GW is a bad player, on the contrary I think he’s a fantastic player, I just don’t think he’s shown it much. I mention the marquee as I think any player sitting in marquee wages needs to justify their hefty salary and status via performances.

I support GW and I wouldn’t want to see him at another SL club. I’m hoping the time he has out will reinvigorate him and will also make SW see that Powell shouldn’t be partnering GW in the halves!

Those stats are startling.

I don't think he's played well at all this season (granted I haven't seen the Hull game).

I'd rather have him here than at a rival because I fear they'd get the best out of him. He's very much shackled by the system.

Is that a yes or a no? Probably in the top 4 or 5 earners in the comp so I'll repeat the question in a different way (I too can be obtuse!) - has he or has he not been worth about 6 times the salary of Richardson at Saints?
