A YEAR to reflect on.
Almost 12 months after suffering an ACL injury on pre-season camp, Zac Williams joins the podcast to talk us through the year that followed.
It was a year to forget in many regards for Williams, but he's intent on making sure he comes out of it "bigger and better" leading into 2024 at his boyhood club.
It’s a long but great chat with the No.6, so strap in for wholesome and meaningful content, as well as some classic gags.
