Whether you believe Williams is going to Wigan or coming to Wire let's keep the posting civil please

RD had been right a few times and some have had to eat humble pie before now - besides everyone loves a good rumour, the more outlandish the better.

After a few Harvey's Bristol Creams of an evening I'd happily believe him if he told me George from Rainbow had signed a 3 yr deal, let alone Mr Williams.

well we dont seem to have any zippy but we do have a fair few bungles.

Schrödinger's Duck. Until it's proven he's both right and wrong.

I come on here to talk rugby league because it's hard to come by on the mainstream press. Bbc sport do a soccer gossip column and have done for years. Long may the RL rumours continue!

The longer the wait for the unveiling of who Williams has signed for, and when this contract is starting, the more I'm reminded of the David Myers saga. Apologies to the younger posters who may be disappointed that we hadn't signed a hairy biker in the past. Myers signed for us from Widnes, but claimed he had signed for Wigan. An RFL tribunal ruled in our favour, however, he didn't want to be at Warrington and after a handful of games for us he was transferred to Wigan.

It's also very odd that a player who claims to be home sick, appears to be in no rush to get back to the UK.

If, and it's a big if, we have signed Williams, we may not necessarily have a player who is 100% committed to the Wire.

Only time will tell, but I've a feeling there's much more to this under the surface.

Any chance of an apology for us older posters who have no idea who David myers the hairy biker is

Re: George Williams. : Tue Jun 08, 2021 8:36 am  

We seem to have a history of signings who are not fully committed to the club ,especially in recent times . Not committed & ridiculously expensive to maintain.

Of course, unreservedly and well seasoned.

The bonded part. To be fair to george williams in this situation. He did wish to leave at the end of the season. And it was his team who released him straight away. He was committed to the cause until the end of the season in australia. So being in Australia at this moment may not be much of a bad thing.

The question comes on if he wishes to play in the world cup. Which wane would certainly want some game time from Williams if he wishes to play. Whether he can secure that deal in Australia until the end of the season. or if he comes home this year to play at home. Whether it be at warrington for the next 3 and a half years or if he goes to a loan club until the end of the year.

You know maybe I’m getting soft in my old age but I’m wanting Duckie be right so he can put two fingers up to all the doubters but even if he’s wrong what’s the big deal as them who will be upset if he is are those who obviously want Williams but either way he’s not the solution imo.Two big props as other posters keep mentioning as our pack must be one of lightest in the league esp compared to Cats + Hull.

I'd Pick up Ligi Sao from Hull to add some size and aggression, he's one of my favourite forwards. Aggressive, hits like a truck and plays about 60mins a game. Defends very well and attacks very well, pick him up and let Sita go and that would be a BIG upgrade.
