Jack Wighton says the arrival of a tough "little bastard" from England will allow the NRL's second best defensive unit to climb the final rung in search of redemption. The Canberra Raiders five-eighth has already felt the impact of new halfback George Williams on the training track - laughing it only took him a few days to "cut me in half". Raiders captain Jarrod Croker has already lauded Williams' mettle in defence in a huge boost to the club's bid to avenge grand final heartbreak. Canberra's newfound resolve saw them emerge as the NRL's second best defensive team last year, behind the Melbourne Storm. Wighton's move into the front-line played a key role in the Raiders' rebirth as a defensive powerhouse and now he hopes Williams can help take them one step further.
