Tony Williams is lazy, inconsistent, and lacks heart. He frustrates fans. Any player playing alongside Jamie Lyon will get over the try line, lets be honest here.
If he starts in the centres over Oldfield, Hopoate and Whare, I'm giving up the first 25% of the season.
I'm sick of the club providing excuses for his terrible heart. Year one, it was an injury plagued off season. Season two, it was because he was changing his running style. Season three, it will be because he's trained in the forwards.
Face it, the bloke in an automiton, with no passion for the brand. He's got no spirit. He's slow, lethargic, and doesn't back his ability.
I'm HOPING the forwards makes him look more energetic. He looked good there in the World Cup.
Make no mistake, his drop in speed, and drop in energy towards then ends of games last year, was a major reason we'd get torn about out wide late. It sure as heck wasn't Robbo / Matai / Lyon.
