Williamson walks away from Cowboys..
JOSH ALSTON | December 16th, 2010
MACKAY product Ryan Williamson will not be a Cowboy in 2011 after deciding to walk away from the game completely.
The club will not scramble to replace him, with management confident in the depth of the outside backs without Williamson.
The 20-year-old had been signed to a one-year deal for next season after moving to North Queensland from the Sydney Roosters under-20s mid-season.
But it is understood his head and his heart no longer lies in rugby league and the talented centre has moved to Mudgee in New South Wales with his partner to pursue interests outside of the game.
Cowboys general manager of football Peter Parr confirmed that Williamson had left the club.
"Through a mutual agreement Ryan will no longer be with the club, he is heading back to Mudgee," Parr said.
The loss of Williamson comes after star recruit Brent Tate was injured in Australia's doomed Four Nations campaign with the centre unlikely to play any significant part in the 2011 campaign.
But with the likes of Antonio Winterstein, Kalifa Fai Fai Loa, Dominic Walsh and young guns Alex Elisala and Wayne Ulugia on the books to bolster the likes of existing backs Willie Tonga, Ash Graham, Will Tupou and Michael Bani, it is unlikely a specialist outside back will be sourced.
One player who has been linked to a return to the NRL is former Penrith and Wests premiership-winning centre Paul Whatuira.
The troubled back has returned from England where he has been playing for Huddersfield in the English Super League and is understood to be looking for an NRL contract.
But Parr said the club would not pursue his services, with the young talent already signed providing enough depth in the wing-centre positions.
"(Whatuira) has been a good player for a while now ... but I doubt he would be a player that we would pursue," he said.
The hunt continues to find a quality forward and a utility to add further depth to the roster.

Just reading a few old threads it didn't take long to see history repeating in the old Pootential steaks.
I hope all these kids make it, but history shows very few ever do, compared to how many are hyped up as the next big thang. The 20s comp is a failure IMO and a lot of that is I believe it should be 23s. Of course with a proper reserve grade 20s could work.
IMO our structures for the lower grades is farked and theyre not producing what they should do.

You know it makes sense.

You could pretty much bet your money he will be the biggest thing to happen to the roosters since fittler.
Did he make it on the comedian circuit?
