Major close-season signing from Grand Finalists St Helens. Head Coach Shaun McRae had to chase Willie for several months before finally getting his man at the beginning of October 2008.

The defensive powerhouse centre brings an invaluable level of experience and big-game quality, as well as the ability to turn a game with his blockbusting runs and clever passing.

Destined to become a fans’ favourite on the Reds’ return to the big time.
