The fullback and hooker (pictured) have been integral to the club’s first grade squad this year and were a big part of the team’s 23-20 win on Saturday. 

At only 17, Malloy has been drafted straight into the top side and, according to coach Bob Harris, he’s an exceptional talent particularly when it comes to running the ball. 

And it’s not only at Rugby Park where he impresses with call-ups to the NSW Country under-18s and the NSW Combined Schools and NSW Combined Colleges’ teams. 

He’s preparing for a tour of South Africa with NSW Country at the end of the regular season. 

Williams is returning to the Bulls after a couple years away from the town and is enjoying playing in the front-row. 

“It’s my first year back after being in Newcastle,” he said.

“I wasn’t going to play for any side down there but was keen to put the boots back on for the Bulls.”

Harris said Clayton was rugged and one of those players who didn’t take a backward step.

“He’s improved all the season and worked his way up,” he told The Argus.

Both the players said the win at the weekend was amazing and they were helped in those last 10 minutes by the huge crowd cheering them on.

When it came to the game itself, the pair agreed that communication and attitude was the key to the victory.

“We were positive even when they were scoring against us and we had a man sent to the sin bin,” Malloy said. 

“Everyone picked up their effort,” Williams added. 

Harris said it was winning tough and it showed by the reaction at the end.

“We’ve been playing in patches all season,” he admitted.

“We probably had our best 10 minutes on field right after half-time, where didn’t make any mistakes and got back into the game.”

Confidence is high at the Bulls camp that they can continue this momentum into their next game against rivals Maitland.
