It seems like the players they have think they can be tapped up just like the raiders do with ither clubs players….. a contract doesnt seem to be worth anything these days…… hopefully sutton will be coming back soon also

Don't think he will. He seems perfectly happy over there.

Just goes to show, if Williams is unsettled, not everyone is suited to upping sticks and moving to a different country.

I think you have to do it beyond just going for the job. Pat Richards is the perfect example of a player who used the opportunity the sport afforded him to come and sample life in the UK and Europe . He'd just won a GF in Australia yet decided he fancied sampling life outside of the country which is my understanding was one of his main motivations for coming over.

If you go to another country without being excited and keen to see that country you will soon be homesick.

I have been lucky enough to travel with my job and I was once in Hong Kong installing a computer system at the Hong Kong stock exchange with a colleague from Liverpool. He took a dislike to the place more or less as he got off the plane, was instantly homesick and didn't venture out much at all. On the way back to the UK I dragged him to see Hong Kong Harbour and his comment was "It's not like the Mersey is it". You just never know how travel will affect people.

The other factor with Williams is Canberra is not Sydney or even Melbourne. I know he will travel with the team to other locations with the team but he is based in a place that is a bit dull in comparison. Sutton on the other hand seems quite happy.
