Re: Williams to Wire.
Let us not forget how many people wanted George to leave Wigan because of his inability to organise the team and produced very little imagination to deliver a try making pass.
In my humble opinion George is not world class and I believe we can do better if the club works hard at recruitment.

Theres a rule in place where players are assigned a secondary value by the RFL. I dont know how it works totally but im lead to believe this is why.keptinthedarkfans wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 9:01 pm If he as signed for 2022 and been paid by Aussies for remainder of year what is stopping him playing for wire rest of season for nothing.

But. As far as im aware. There is nothing stopping them taking him “on trial”

Re: Williams to Wire.
I agree. His biggest issue is long kicking when the team struggle's. Unlike Sam Tomkins Williams will not win you a game. Problem is we need a replacement for Hastings.Wigan Watcher wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 9:41 pm Let us not forget how many people wanted George to leave Wigan because of his inability to organise the team and produced very little imagination to deliver a try making pass.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

That is my view and why I was worried about a Williams and Smith partnership.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:03 amI remember fans wanting a organising half back to be paired with him in order to get the best out of himWigan Watcher wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 9:41 pm Let us not forget how many people wanted George to leave Wigan because of his inability to organise the team and produced very little imagination to deliver a try making pass.

As experienced as Tommy is and as good as Hastings is and the potential of Smith, there is still a lack of leadership, direction, management and long kicking in our halves.
