But George seems to me the epitome of a halfback. Kotoa does as well. I'm sure Woolf knows what he's doing.
Agree. Seems so strange. Were those rumours that Kotoa categorically denied about him agitating to get out true after all?

Someone on our Twitter said Williams is an upgrade on O’Sullivan that’s a positive way to view it all but if for some reason Nikorima wins the no6 jersey Williams is on the first plane home he clashed with Stuart in 2020.
No he didn’t his wife was homesick due to lockdown and having a new born without family been able to visit.

Do you think he’s an upgrade on Nikorima and will he play no.2 to Katoa?

I’m not the greatest fan of Nikorima but credit to him he’s having his best season and working well with Katoa. This whole team is built around Katoa as it should be he’s the real marquee and jewel in the crown for Dolphins.

One of the big things Bennett got right about the Broncos was that it had to be his team and Alfie’s team and he made the big change to effect that. Woolf has correctly made it clear it’s Katoa team and whoever plays 6 has to work as no.2 to him. Source Triple M Saturday interview.

Williams is a good player with a nice kicking game, I’m a big fan of Kodi and rate him highly, but I will back the coach

Agree completely. Kodi has been playing so well but I'm sure Woolf knows what he's doing.

Thing about Williams is that he plays a similar style of half to Kodi. I reckon a transition between the 2 would be no different.

In Australia we see defined 6s and 7s. I think Williams is a bit of both. And that maybe be why we didn't see the best of him at Canberra. However, under a coach that knows him, and how to get the best out of him, we may be on a winner.

Woolf has his captains run presser today and I'm sure the big 3 questions will be Cobbo, Williams and Bennett.

This is just a hunch from me.

I wouldn't be surprised, not sure if it's still possible, if we moved to get him this year. Bostock out, we are running short on troops. Clearly on the nose with Maguire (who is a looney).

I reckon Reader would be talking to the NRL to seek injury dispensation, even though he says he isn't, i mean he did say we weren't in for Cobbo.

He has literally played a blinder here.
