To be fair, knocking him for a bit of weight is fresh with all the athletes at BV





Cant ever bring myself to knock Willie no matter what he does, a very nice man, and was a top bloke on the park too ! however nice to see his glum face at full time though

One of the nicest blokes I've met. A true gent. Yes he's put some timber on but I'll never have a bad word to say about Poching.

Breaks my heart to see him even associated with Leeds



Hopefully one day he'll come home to where he belongs

he just wanted to get back in a wildcats shirt



id take him back anyday

Yep, lovely bloke.

Do you think such a nice guy deserves to win a grand final winners ring?

Yes!

Willie will always be held in high regard at wakey , one player who left and never really put the boot in. a true gent and still sends his kids to the wildcat camps ...

Well, he won't be able to run on at Headingley, he'll get stuck in 4 foot deep of mud

Its more sand than mud atm.

he was on the terraces watching us against catalans unless he was on a spying mission

didnt do them any good anyway if he was

Was noticeable yesterday that when Luke George started rubbing his hamstring and then when Glenn Morrison visited Disneyland, that our support team is positively sporting compared to other teams. It's certainly not any excuse to get on the pitch with our lads!

Just spoken to him on the phone and he's got over it

No he was at that game as his son was playing in one of the warm up games. Willie is one of the nicest guys you can ever meet, to say he is assistant coach at the 3 times champions coach of their U20's, coach of Samoa and father of 3 very active lads he will always give his time when asked and he and his wife worked tirelessly and so unselfishly for the Adam Watene Fund throughout 2009. Willi was also instrumental in getting the Leeds Club so involved in the Fund too. Altough Leeds are in my eyes the enemy, through Willi last year I did have so much admiration for how Leeds helped support so many of the Adam Fund events. Willi may be heavier than in his playing days but I bet he is still fitter than a large percentage of folk on the terraces , he probably spends no more time than any other trainer on the pitch , its just he wears such a bright top and we notice him cos we love him. Yes Al he rang me last night despite their loss he was still doing stuff for the Fund within an hour of the final hooter such is the measure of the man
