Not what i call a game breaker nor is he a dominant half. He tackles a lot but he doesn't guide the team around like a Luke Gale does for Leeds. As i said, good player yes but not worth paying over the odds for.

Fair play to IL for sticking to his guns and knowing what GW is worth.

The guys obviously and mercenary. He'll $h!t on Wire, just like he did with us and Canberra.

Re: George Williams : Sun Jun 13, 2021 7:42 pm  

The idea he is not a match winner is nonsense.

I'm not saying he is the GOAT/Andrew Johns, but he is a bloody good player. Best half back to come out of our academy in the SL era.

I'm just trying to tell your numpties on here how much cheaper re signing Williams would be IF Lenners didn't mind paying his asking salary

Rather than what it would cost him to sign a replacement of the same quality up front and also on your clubs salary cap?

But as cobra has pointed out.....it isn't as black and white as that.

Thanks for your input though.

Sam was better

Your owner is very wealthy man and he has previously paid over the salary cap levels due to the various dispensations allowed to the Wigan club
Clearly it's not the 75K allowance that would count against Williams is it not ?

Clearly it's his asking value that's paid into his bank account before choosing his UK club to return to and irrespective if it was a figure that would be at full value on that clubs salary cap?

I'd hazard a guess that you would pay far more on your cap and also in salary over 3 seasons If Wigan sign an Aussie Half Back rather than should you sign Williams for 10 seasons

I’m not sure why you’re fixed on the £75k? Wigan have to pay him his wage and if they offered good money then it negates your comments about Wigan’s financial position. If Warrington want to pay him above market value just to get him then it’s their business but Mr Lenegan is more astute than that.

A better player yes, but at fullback. SOL is a better player too but at 13.

Sam cams through as a HB tho...

He's the best HB the club have produced.

It baffles me why people focus so much on cap space. It’s a number you’re allowed to spend up to but if you don’t have the physical funds, you don’t have it. Somebody could tell me I’m only allowed to spend £10,000 a month but it would be pointless them doing that as I don’t have it.

You're right, but he didn't play as a HB for long. If he had then perhaps GW wouldn't have made it through.
