Official Jack Williams

Agree with all of the above - a true impact player of the bench. I did not know he was a Canberra (Cooma?) boy. I chuckled that we had a heavily biased Canberra boys bench - Williams, Hunt, Tommy.

"To beat your opponent you must become your opponent" - some guy probably

Loved Flanno's throw back line in commentary about Jack being the strongest bloke in the gym (the gym Flanno built no doubt) - back when none of us gave a **** about that cause the bloke had butter hands but I do remember him beating Gals club record in the gym or something

I think Hunt got the dead lift record a few years ago though and is strongest in NRL

Give Jack a tan and some ball skills and he can be our Sorrenson

As it stands though he has a simple job and is doing it excellent

Not sure about deadlift but believe Hunt was first NRL player to record a 200kg bench press

#12 would be an odd jersey for a bench middle to wear, but **** it. Let's break convention.

Was doing the haka for wades send off.

I was certain he had kiwi heritage.

Thought I saw Nicho in the back too. I'm not well versed in Maori culture, but I don't think it's held as something you can only do if you're a descendant. It's more about respect etc.

Happy to be corrected.

My step father is a very proud kiwi. I asked him. His opinion was that it would be very disrespectful if someone not from that heritage/culture took part in the haka.

Cheers for sharing. Got a lot of proud kiwis in that group too, so maybe he is Kiwi? Or maybe it varies for different people. I certainly wasn't aware of it for those boys, and they didn't join in after his last game.
