The sydneyroosters are preparing to unleash dual-code international Sonny Bill Williams as a weapon in the middle, paving the way for a mouth-watering clash with RaidersCanberra behemoth Josh Papalii | app85 SMHsport NRL
"I'm really excited, but at the same time nervous," Williams told Nine Radio. "I think any sportsman or sportswoman that tells you they don't get nervous before big events they'd be lying to themselves and to you. I'm no different."
"I'm under no illusions coming back here after not playing for six months and then coming off surgery on my knee. The biggest challenge for me was to make the side. I've made it now and in any capacity I wanted to help out. If that's in the engine room then that's what I have to do and that's what I'll be doing this weekend."
Robinson has been coy on how he will integrate Williams, but if he does play in the middle, he will butt heads with Papalii, a standout for the Raiders in last year's grand final loss to the Roosters.
