He’s a special player and for me the best in the league. I wouldn’t swap him for anyone else in SL. We are very lucky to have him.

he is a quality player...IF he helps us get back to a GF and IF he helps us win it.... then he enters Legend territory.
He has a great all-round skill set and a great rugby brain. Natural athlete. He isn't the finished article though... still think he can improve, especially his kicking game both long and short.






top flight since 1895

Yes, two more wins in 2024 and he fades into the distant past as a player.

As much as I fondly look back on years of watching Briers and what he did for us in the Smith era, I think any honest and sensible Warrington fan would realise that Williams is a far better all-round player and the consummate professional. I hope he will be at the heart of the next famous era for the club.

Don’t know what he earns but he is worth twice as much.

Don’t tell Karl though

I don't know what he earns either, but it's assumed by many that he's the highest paid player in Super League, which is how we managed to get him in the first place. 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.

Yes I've heard Tom Burgess is going to be the highest paid - poor business from Hudds really. Mind you I suppose he won't be the highest paid now we're going to sign Cleary!!






Ettinghausen's gone ice skatin'

Williams and Cleary is a good as Edwards and Gregory were at Wigan, but never going to happen.
