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.

Whatever he's on, it probably will not be enough to keep the competition away. We need to move quickly to lock him up longer term or we will end having to overpay to keep or have him signed from under our noses.

His contract ends in late 2027, when he will be 31. Surely there won't be huge demand for him beyond that.

It would be good if you posted more regularly Pou. I think you are one person on here that's got a really good grasp of what's going on and adds plenty of value to the conversation.

Cheers Adam. Unfortunately to some observers, explaining means making excuses. It's not seen as helpful to people who just want to whinge and vent.
""If Parramatta did pay overs for KK of course many would of hammered the club , but it would of also shown that the club knew they had to do something to at least try and get a big name , best to go down trying than to go down doing the same thing…"
"I'm not disagreeing that the club still struggles to attract top talent, but you have to admit that it has improved compared to the early BA days. With the arrival of Ryles we've changed strategies to smarter contracts, instead of doubling down and…"
