I see Abe has tweeted about CTW impressing Sam in training and we’re looking at moving Dufty to the halves to accommodate CTW. II mentioned months ago that Dufty’s new deal (given the huge money he’s now on) made no sense as we had CTW and was laughed at. This boy is special.

Reading on here it seems we are putting a lot of faith in Hayes who, after all, has played 11 1/2 games of top level RL.

In his favour, he is brave, confident, strong in defence and seems well organised with an eye for a pass and could be a really good foil for Williams. It still leaves us with no real long kicking game when we're looking to clear our lines when under pressure. From what I saw last season we have no-one with a decent long kick. That makes a difference in a tight game especially when someone like Harry Smith is in the opposition team. Hope he does really well this year and becomes a local legend. Burgess & others obviously rate him very highly.

Brilliant news, hope it's not just to fend off NRL clubs though.

Be surprised if his loyalty isn’t rewarded with vice captaincy. Williams captain.
