Williams does not have any more time to settle in. We are halfway through the season and I believe he has had enough time to get a grip. How long does he need? Until we are in the Championship?

+1 from me, Stevie....I said the other day that I've been disappointed with him. He needs to massively up his game otherwise I wouldn't consider extending his contract. It's time to either put up or pack his bags and head off back to Oz.

Why does he need a year to settle in ? what a load of old cobblers. Lyon, Barrett, Britt, Bird, and loads of others came to SL, and ripped it up big time. A year to settle in, that could be the difference of top 8 or million pound game.

Where did these players sign for?
Not middle table/MPG teams, no comparison.
Willams came with hype and filled in at Catalans but Catalans have money to burn.
Hope that if Wakey have offered him an extension,that the one year he is on is worth two years.

Bird went to Catalans and transformed the team along with the Coach, the others still ripped it up, as did danny Nuttley, Willy Manu both in a relegated team, if a player from the NRL needs a year to get up to speed he is not worth buying.

Not for me, I can turn a blind eye to some of the bad things aussies have done when they come to Super League, but not him. Vile individual.

Williams just needs a bit more time. In general I think he does well in organising and from 1st receiver. Just not seen his much vaunted kicking game but he's scored a few tries as well.

Cant think of anyone realistically who could replace him anyway on our budget.

I thought that miss was very poor and proved to be the turning point of the game. It was a bit of a slap in the face for all who've been crying out for his return, me included.

I felt the same way - but having watched it back, Jowitt looked out of sorts for most of that game; don't know if he picked up a knock early on, or maybe he was a bit rusty, but he didn't seem to be firing on all cylinders.

That said - although Atkins is a bit of a beast in full flight, it's not really acceptable to get brushed off like that; if nothing else, just running into him full body would have unbalanced him enough for others to complete the tackle.
