SBW in good form, says coach Roosters coach Trent Robinson insists Sonny Bill Williams is in good form and his chief game breaker knows what is required to make a mark in big matches. Robinson says his players are calm and focused as they prepare to take on Penrith in Saturdays NRL qualifying final at Allianz Stadium. Dual international Williams, who will shortly return to New Zealand rugby, and former NSW Origin halves Mitchell Pearce and James Maloney are three of the Roosters key players. Williams stepped up in last years grand final against Manly and while his form hasnt regularly scaled those heights this season, Robinson feels the gifted New Zealander is still going well. Sonny is in good form, hes worked hard and he knows what it takes around these games, Robinson said on Friday. So allowing him to flourish will be important for us over the next couple of weeks. Maloney and Pearce struggled for form earlier in the campaign and were left out of the NSW team, but have lifted in recent weeks. We were going through some average periods, whether we were winning or losing, but as we were going through those periods, they copped a lot of criticism, Robinson said. They worked hard for many months, they trained well before the form started and now theyve started to play well. The combination has been there, the spring in their step, they are healthy.
