To be fair he is improving. I think from round 1 to round 4 we have seen a difference. Hasn't been revolutionary but slightly better each week.

The upsetting thing is his defence. He is leaving gaps and is dropping off tackles. Is that a weight issue? Is it a mobility issue? Is he out of position? I don't know. I haven't seen too much if him pre bulldogs to know how his defence was and his lateral movement is.

If Williams is on similar money to dave Taylor then we should feel ripped off. No matter how poorly Taylor plays he can still trample players. Williams gets chopped down one on one by centres.

Surely you are taking the piss? Are you implying those two stats are impressive?

Dont worry. We will keep him. T-rex is like a big Gremlin, Des is waiting to feed him at the right time.

Haha good one. I bet we have the last laugh.

He should be good from round 1 as he's had all offseason but he's slowly getting into form and will be killing it by the important games.

surely you are an idiot if you haven't compared his stats to those over the other forwards during the game, he played a solid game and he's getting crap for unfair reasons, yeah he had a slow start but that doesn't mean he played shit against the rabbitohs

He is either not committed or for some reason out of his depth

I think he is still working out where he needs to be within the team structure.

In attack he should just run onto the ball. A big man like that just needs hold the ball & run hard!

On the Matty Johns Show there was a little interview with Matai head of the Bulldogs / Beagles clash.

He was hoping that he does not need to mark up on T-Rex. I'm not too sure if he was trying to be sarcastic.

you should probably look at the stats again...

We put too much emphasis on stats nowadays. It's not the NFL. Stats don't show that desperate dive to make a tackle or busting your balls to fill a defensive gap or putting your hand up for a big run when it's needed.
Stats are crap. They mean very little

people who use this argument aren't really acknowledging all the facts, i agree that stats aren't showing the whole picture, but what they do show is facts, and the minimum of what a player has done during the match, the reason i said he should look at the stats is for that reason, some players go about their work quietly or inconspicuously or some people's hate for a player blinds them to anything good they do, and thats why i quoted the stats, because they definitely happened regardless of how many people call him lazy and say he does nothing, the only fault i could give him for the rabbitohs match was not stopping the burgess try, but in my opinion it had more to do with klemmer than him
