Williams is a gun. Given how good the Pommy Raiders have been this season with him as an addition, they will be awesome.
Need to keep Rappa, Kriss and Niko donโt know to much about the others that are leaving,
I am surprised they let R Hunt go and resign L Bateman for another year.
Thoughts anyone ?
Kris is off contract & not a first grade regular. Penrith should target him , as one of the Canterbury Cup players they should try & buy. To build up the centres . He’d get a regular start there & stay in first grade if he played well enough.
With These three leaving it will not effect our club to much. However with the arrival of Williams arriving from England, I can smell a premiership on the horizon.
