Wigan Warriors' George Williams in fresh link with NRL - report

[pearsy]

We could throw half the team in to sweating a couple of deals

This rumour keeps coming back like a bad curry

Either his agent is playing us off for more money or Williams is desperate to go. Either way I can't see him at Wigan beyond this season.

Tautai will be our marquee played for 2020-22

You're turning into Medlocke, A&L

Still young, but i would love to see Harry Smith at scrum half with a quick, evasive stand-off playing off him as a pair rather than split halves.

Powell is the stumbling block, Unless we can trick Wakefield into taking him along with a little money for Fifita, To sweeten the deal we could throw in Tautai

Haven't Wakefield got an extra half back currently playing out of position at full back ??

New Zealand Warriors enter Williams race – but one club isn’t interested

New Zealand Warriors are in the race to sign Wigan halfback George Williams, according to reports.

Speculation down under suggests the Warriors are currently leading the chase the sign the England halfback, with several clubs interested.

League Express revealed on Monday that Canberra were among his suitors and were willing to offer him a three-year deal.

However, the issue for all of Williams’ admirers is the hefty price tag on the halfback’s head, with Wigan set to demand a big transfer fee to release their marquee man. In 2017, Wigan turned down £400,000 for their Academy product, and with the halfback still having years left on his deal, the Warriors won’t let him go cheap.

But with clubs lining up to provide Williams with his NRL dream, it seems inevitable that the 24-year-old will leave the Super League champions at the end of the season.

One place he will not be heading is Newcastle, with the Knights understood to be no longer interested in his services.

Newcastle, who are coached by former St Helens and Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown, were linked with a move for Williams last year.

However, it’s believed the emergence of Kalyn Ponga has cooled their interest.

It looks like all these clubs in the NRL are of the same opinion as our experienced fans that George is rubbish!!

[OAMJSONA]

He would probably be on the first plane back if and when he goes to Aus . Quite simply not good enuff

[bill.inger]

So if he leaves, who will be team captain next season as he's been nailed down for that job when SOL moves into the backroom staff?
