It had been 2171 days since his last game in the NRL, but Williams certainly knows how to still generate some insane interest.His highly anticipated return lasted 13 minutes, featured four runs for 23m and five tackles as a middle forward. There was a brief moment he even looked like he could have scored had Freddy Lussick thrown him the ball close to the line.
"I loved being back here, being back involved in the game I love playing. It was pretty fast but I expected that. I have never played in the middle in my whole career so it was nice just to get out there and feel the lungs."Their 18-6 win over the Raiders was dominant. Only bad luck will toss the premiers out of a top-four spot.If Williams was the drawcard – and Morris the sentimental favourite – Tedesco was the star act.
Papalii clutched at his shoulder midway through the first half and did not return after the break. They will need him during the finals.
