This.

I got slated for it last week, but I'd also stick by/return to the guys who saw me right previously.

So what happens if he does sign for us? Is it the opposite, or do we only deal with doom?

If he signs for Wire or Leeds it'll be for £££ and nothing else. And I wouldn't blame him for it either.

If he doesn’t, as the poster above says it’ll be for cash. And I wouldn’t blame him either.

Also if he doesn’t it opens the door here for someone to take the bull by it’s horns and stake his claim for Hastings’ shirt. I’ll be bitterly disappointed, probably criticise the club in some fashion but we’ll move on. Sam Tomkins for his chance due to an injury, many others because a player we thought may re-sign (contract) didn’t have left.

That's not the question I asked tho.

What happens if he does sign for us? Will we still be signing dross, or be a club on the slide?

You’ve blatantly ignored what I said.

I said in my original post ‘GW aside’. Your question therefore was already answered before you asked it.

Honest answer. If you were George would you sign for Warrington or Wigan? I'd sign for Warrington all day at this precise moment. More money (considerably reported) in a side always being ambitious or a club very very quickly on the slide, not knowing the coaching arrangements and being lined to sub standard players. We all see the same media reports. I have a feeling he will be in primrose and blue next season. I hope i am wrong but we need to back a Williams signing with a coaching announcement and new props. If he does sign for Wire it's indicative of were we are as a club at the moment. If players are rejecting us and signing for sides that haven't won the league in donkeys then we really are in a bad way.


Me? I’d sign for Wigan.

But you’re asking me. I’m going to give you an answer from the heart. It was never going to be Warrington.

Me, you and anyone else can’t put ourselves in GW’s shoes. What’s on offer financially? What’s my current status? Do I want a new challenge away from an old challenge? What’s best for me?

Just a handful of questions he’s asking himself (probably). I’d love GW back at Wigan. It would be a tremendous signing but if he doesn’t we’ll move on as a club as we did when he left.

Not sure how you can separate the two though? "GW aside" is like having your cake and eating it.

Fans are happy to say we're a club on the slide, will they then admit we aren't if we sign Williams? Or are we hedging our bets and taking pot shots anyway?

I’ve never said we’re a club on the slide. I said we could be if we’re looking at signing players like Gelling/Thornley/Richardson. Big difference.

I’m hardly having my cake. You know you can criticise and praise (rumoured) signings. You don’t have to be unilaterally critical or praise them all? Right?

But you have to surely see that they are part of one recruitment plan, that needs to be judged as a whole. I'd happily take Thornley and Miski if that means we sign Williams and a good prop. They are all linked imo - one leads to the other i.e money saved on one, let's us get the other.

You want to say that "outside of GW" we're signing dross. That "dross" let's us sign Williams.
