I'll go against the grain, yeah he's big but there's not much venom in his runs for mine.

In saying that I'd give him a few more weeks, Williams can **** off.
Just want a big fella to use his body to his advantage. Can't help but think what someone like McInnes or Tracey could do with a rig like that.

Felt the same actually but compared to Williams and Hunt he was really solid and Tom is still finding his feet in FG

Keith Gallaway was like this until John Lang told him what a big ****ing unit he was and to start running like a bull and he was a more damaging ball carrier after that

In the mean time, steal his scalp cream and he will fire up for sure

I think there was enough there to keep him in the side when Dale returns. I don't think we need all 4 of Dale, Cam, Wade and Jack playing in the middle, and Jack needs a stint at newtown or a wake up call.

He clearly has a bit of a different dimension to him so I'd love to see him get 10 or so games to show his worth.

He stopped all momentum in his tackles, his size and strength sapped the energy out of them. Not going to show up on highlight reels or stats but I guarantee the Roosters forwards could tell the difference once he was on.
His hit ups and play the ball speed will increase in few games when he isn’t only focused on not making mistakes.

Great workrate in defense did exactly what he needed to in the short stint.

This guy ****ed a PTB & our challenge; no worries.

People get anxious that Williams might drop a ball so he's gotta improve that.

I'm not knocking Hazelton, **** happens, but the reaction to actual errors vs potential errors that don't occur is pretty funny.

Handy back up. I gon't see him displacing any of our regulars just yet though.

Big and strong but a bit slow laterally and off the mark.

Not knocking a big bloke for being a bit sluggish but could see him getting targeted by elusive runners.

Seems to be going for that quick play the ball. Gets hit and drops quickly, with his body shape I'd rather he just keep pumping those legs and go as far forward as possible

Gotta love the big idiots enthusiasm though. A handful of games in and he's demanding the captain's challenge 😄
