Yes he was a HUGE disappointment. I blame Des a lot for his failure though also (besides the fact Des signed him). I remember reading an interview with Williams where Williams said (quote) "I'm sure Des is disappointed in my form" - like Des had never actually told him though. I remember wondering why the f..k not ? If Des had been in his ear he wouldn't be saying "I'm sure Des is". He would be saying "Yes Des is". Seems for a long time Des never told Williams he needed to improve.Agree with all 3 Brad. She rex gave me the most pain though.
Des constantly picked Williams for over a year even though he was playing shit the whole time. When he finally dropped Williams, Williams came back a little stronger for a while. Des should have dropped him much, much earlier.
I remember reading an article about Williams when with Manly and Des got the trainers to go back to basics with Williams right to the catch, pass and run skills. Soon after that was when Williams was at his best for Manly and played for Australia. Pity Des never gave Williams the same attention I believe while he was with us.
This is one of Williams' 3 good runs for us. Shows exactly what he was capable of. Des failed to motivate him to do it more often though.
