You’re right Williams seems absolutely livid to be at Warrington with his surly demeanour, woeful form and transfer list request.


You don’t usually get an NRL move based on poor form in the UK, quite the opposite which brought about his move from Wigan to Canberra.

Regarding the transfer request….why would he do that without having another club lined up?

Out of interest did George say that he had turned down an NRL offer to remain at Warrington?

His 2021/2022 form (as evidenced in the WC) was also very good he was just in a woeful club side. So Williams has been in pretty good nick for quite a while now.

Agree!

No surprise that Williams was holding his own at Canberra despite being bored with the place itself (endless coffee shops apparently).

I’ve genuinely always liked him as a player and he’s taken the best offer he could get at Warrington.

Williams is a top player, Wigan's loss was Wire's gain.

For me having drinkwater alongside him has allowed him to show his true form,that and having a huge pack in front of him good move to get him signed up again.

Will there be a return to the NRL clause included? Its a a good move for Wire, sign up the inform SL player of the moment current international and have a bargaining chip should the NRL come sniffing around.

Which they will.

It's as sure as night follows day with George that, a year or so after signing a new contract, he'll start looking elsewhere.
