Jack Williams was our best forward last year imo, I absolutely love the way he plays. He'll get better with a year under his belt. I hope we've got him for a while because he's the type of no frills toiler we need up front to partner Paulo. But, I actually prefer him on the edge.
I think someone said he was on about $400-500k as he was blocked from a starting position at Sharks.
Was he any better value than Isaiah Papali'i at 175-200 K ?
Parra over the years have found plenty of value in there back rowers Shaun Lane Maranta Nuikore Manu Ma'u Beau Scott all would have started on less than what Willams is on outside of maybe Scott.
We got the Daly M backrower for 2 yrs best in the game for the above mentioned money now that's value.
Williams yes a good player but value is in the eye of the beholder.

Don't look now, but you are making a pretty good argument for us not signing KK on $1 million plus per season.

Optics.
Id say the club had won a battle me now let's go win the war.
"Can I ask if you have any concerns at all HOE about the club identifying targets but are unable to land them. On face value it appears we are offering at worst similar deals, sometimes better deals then what the player is going to. Am i imagining…"

What failure are you referring to?
Coryn isn't even.an.eels supporter. His first team is the Warriors as he lives there. Coryn is only here to stir the pot
Very worried for our future, smells like 2011-13 all over again.
