Recruitment & Retention 2027

SGI NSW Cup
He is so fast I don’t think anyone catching him if he gets away and is a great finishing
he has the attributes.. speed, height, can jump, can dive for a put down.. if he can do his hitups in 1st grade.. and not make many errors 'and' not get injured too often.. he could potentially be a longterm winger.. oh yes and make his tackles lol.. there is a bit too it.. but looking good so far.

The complaint last year iirc was a bit like his brother, passes going down, doing some crazy kind of moments in defence, maybe errors in key moments.. but I just have not seen that this year.. tbf though I guess I havent seen the defensive of things.. like havent studied him.. he was often playing outside of makeshift centres also, esp in cup.

Williams struggling to return has rly opened up opportunity for any young winger..... Saifiti I had in front of Toby but he hasnt been able to get those errors out of his game thus far.. he has To'o vibes big time with his power and speed but means nothing if u keep coughing up the pill.

Has a line definitely been drawn through Williams' name?

not at all - i think he will be back for preseason if not later this year.
That's good news. Shouldn't forget about Bucky either. Though I was a bit disappointed in his game this season. I expected significant improvement from last year but didn't happen. There is also Lyric. Definitely need at least 1, hopefully 2 possibly 3 of:
  • Buchanan
  • Heidke
  • Rumble
  • Saifiti
  • Williams
  • Lyric
  • Burton
  • Kirk
to play a lot of NRL next year if we are to be among the top teams. I know Burton will only be 18. You would think he might get a game in the NRL at some stage but to be a regular is a big ask. Then again, he would hardly be the first 18 year-old playing NRL. Williams and Heidke would be my picks if they can play a few games straight without getting injured or whatever is wrong with Williams.

I do think he has little errors in him he thinks he can run around them still and runs sideways which he needs to put his foot down and run straight and hard.. He also does have handling errors in him as well But that will all hopefully improve next year he is just lightening.
