Due to a hip flexor injury to teammate Brent Tate, Williams will get his chance in the main team and will play in the World Cup Final against New Zealand on November 22, 2008.
In 2008 Williams developed a cult following and became known as the "Wolfman" for his shaggy locks and full beard. Following the Manly Sea Eagles Grand Final victory, he had his beard forcibly shaved by fellow Manly winger Michael Robertson.
