Tony Williams says he is ready to play after his back injury.
TONY Williams wants to do his talking on the football field, starting at Allianz Stadium tomorrow against the Roosters.
Williams told me his back injury was close to being OK and the decision to play was up to coach Geoff Toovey.
"If he wants me to play I am ready to go," Williams said. "I want to play with the boys. I want to go out of my time with Manly with another premiership.
"
It is important to me to show the team I want to give my all for them for the rest of the season."
Williams has played three matches this season before being suspended. He injured his back during his comeback for NSW on May 23,
wants to return to the field tomorrow.
"The club doctor will give a report to the coach and I'm confident he will say I'm ready to play," Williams said. NSW coach Ricky Stuart .
Stuart has said he would consider "T-Rex" for the Origin decider on July 4 if he played tomorrow. Which leaves Toovey in a tough place. With Glenn Stewart injured, Williams would give his side a boost.
Williams admitted it was tough leaving Manly for the Bulldogs next season.
"
They have taken me from a promising player to a premiership and international player and I will never forget that," Williams said of Manly."
True to his word
