That may well be true, but I have no idea. However, there was also a lot of grumblings about dressing room disharmony, which probably wouldn't be helped by wage disparity, and Williams himself was on the receiving end of the "waste of money" shouts from plenty of our fans as well as opposition fans.
Sam Burgess has worked absolute magic at making all that go away!
I think the 'grumblings' rumours were about certain forwards being paid way over their worth, and other forwards demanding similar pay rises. I think the players realise the value of a true superstar and won't argue with Williams or Dufty being on a marquee salary.
I don't reckon Williams will be the highest paid player next season. I have a sneaking suspicion that Tom Burgess will be at Huddersfield, and I'm not really sure that will pay off for them.
