Hoping for new contract still
He might have scored four first-half tries to inspire Manly to a 40-24 NRL win over Parramatta on Sunday, but David Williams admits he has no idea if he’ll be at the club next year.
With Matt Ballin becoming the latest player to sign a new deal with the premiers this weekend, the former NSW winger, who has played just 60 games in five injury-hit years, is in the dark about where he will be playing in 2013.
Williams admits his appearance record is not great but denied he’d agreed a move to English Super League giants Leeds.
He is realistic about his chances of staying with the club though.
“I’ve got kids who’ve almost been playing two years who have passed me,” he said.
“I don’t know who tossed up Leeds but that’s an absolute porky.
“Someone tossed it up that I was doing interviews during the World Club Challenge.
“I tell you what – I had no interviews over there. I’m hopeful of staying. My manager’s doing it all – he’s the smart one of the relationship.
“But there’s bigger fish to fry around here than a lonely old winger on the sideline.”
come to penrith we need wingers.
Blue Black and White
He will resign with manly haha, after yesterday’s game he will resign for 2 more seasons. I can’t imagine him leaving
Ben we don’t need him. he’s injury prone. Anyway he’ll be wasted under Smith but that’s if he resigns rumors are that SBW will play in Japan then Roosters and a new coach so now we can have good gameplans and structure and I think we’ll be contenders next year A young strong forward pack with more experience under their belt eg JWh, Cordner also young guns Moga and the most lethal halves combo in Maloney, Pearce and to add to that Oldfield and SBW. The great thing is we’re finally starting to develop promising juniors of our own and we got structure.
@ east I hate to admit it but your right the chooks are shaping up to be a real premiership force with that monster forward pack and some good halves I don’t think there that far off a premiership.
