So that leaves Inglis being deregistered or Blake Austin leaving.

If George hasn't signed on the dotted line (as per sky & Jenna Brooks) things could get interesting.

Myself & ddtftf may be wrong but we have both been told it is a done deal.

But like I say, Wane & Rads spoke to him yesterday

Wane forced him out because he didn't like him. He told a relative of mine he had had enough of him and was offering him to Sale.

That's the sort of thing that worries me if Wane comes back as director of rugby.

So we want Wane to use his England job to freeze George out of the World Cup unless he's playing this season? I personally don't think he could be selected if he misses the rest of the year. He'd be fine to play for England in the next match though.

Thats very much the perception I had as a complete outsider. Charnley was made a public scape goat almost every week, seemingly regardless of his or the teams performance. No other player experienced as much public criticism. He seemed to be very much forced out by Wane. But like I said, i have no insider info, its just what it looked like from the outside.

I also felt something weird went on with McIllorum. I assumed something happened behind the scenes that meant he had to go, otherwise it made no sense at all.

Yep, sadly quite a few established players are getting shopped around regardless of contract length or family commitments, all to fit George under the cap this year :o

An ex-wigan winger may well be available :roll:
I'm sure they would ship out the flying pig before Charnley.

if not I'd have him back and play him Centre.
Play him a position he only played 3 times about 10 years ago?

Cracking idea
Sounds something Lam would do after first trying him in the front row.

Who is this reporter at the MEN?

They seem to be the first / one of the first to be breaking a lot of news / rumours lately.

This will get interesting. Widdop must be player I was told not playing ball. They don't want him to go early and imo he does. Loads of fall out to follow Williams signing. If inglis is de registered won't they have to pay severance pay that will count on cap I would think 2 would have to go so like to see how the Houdini s get past this one but this is rfl where talking about so anything goes.😂
