True. They seem to be burning it £millions at a time on a flight into space for a few minutes. 😅

Dan if you ask your source today, I am more than sure they will go cold on the deal happening :roll:
George has not signed for Warrington as of today.
Asked again yesterday evening, according to Budge he has already signed for Warrington. Also Wire are shopping around Jake Mamo.

As of 10 minutes ago Wigan are not aware of anything signed with Warrington.

Are you referring to Joe Burgess as “Budge”?

If so. He once told people Sam Tomkins had signed for Warrington right before he re signed for Wigan.

I keep seeing people online on other social media platforms getting confused with the "£100k more than Wigan" line.

I don't know if it has came from what I said, but so far I have seen people saying Wire have offered £100k a year more or Wire have offered £100k over 3 years more.

What I was told was "over the 4 year period Warrington's offer is six figures higher"

so that's at least £25k a year, If that was the difference Wigan would match it with no hesitation.

however, it could be £200k, £300k more, I do not know. I just hope the Williams to Wire rumours have somehow been adapted and taken from what I posted on here.

No Journalists are reporting anything regarding Williams so that tells me nothing has been signed. its the biggest transfer for years, one journalist would have inside info if something had happened 100%.

Have to agree if anything had been signed someone would have had this printed by know. I do however think he is going to wire and think he is playing Wigan like a fiddle to keep raising the price.😒

Im not as confident as I was, but Wigan seem to be keeping tight lipped over it all, but like I said yesterday, they were not aware of anything being signed

I didn't know that. However when you say "told people" I assume you mean fans etc. In this instance he has told a chief executive of the club he is currently playing for. Was also told personally by Harvey Livett yesterday that GW is a Wire player.

I would say the silence from Wigan is simply because they can't exactly state "we are not re-signing George"?

I guess time will tell :?

I don't necessarily not believe you but why would a ex wire player be in the know of the clubs recruitment?
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.
