Same reason he signed Hampshire - its's called back up - not meaning to sound sarcastic but it's not a new phenomenon.
Also why do you assume Williams was signed as first choice over Finn or Miller, as far as I was concerned he was competition.
Personally I think Hampshire will force his way into the HB's however I don't necessarily believe it will be at Finns expense. Just my opinion.
I honestly haven't a clue why he signed Williams, but what I do know is that a man I know who sponsors a player every season wanted to sponsor Williams last season and was told by the chairman that it would cost him virtually twice the price of anybody else, the main being that as he would be the goal kicker, and the sponsors advertisement would increase significantly.
Maybe that's the assumption that Williams would be first choice.
