That said, I think there's still some talent in the league & Williams at his best, is a better half than Fages and Lomax in my opinion. I'd say the same for Blake Austin and Albert Kelly, who is another one I'm a big fan of. They all just have that extra speed, which allows them to create something out of nothing. Saints halves are really benefiting from a dominant pack at the moment.
On Leeds, they're going through that period which Saints went through 10+ years ago- they've lost that golden generation. I think Harry Newman looks a good prospect though. Strong and fast.
