I am not sure how good Williams is - somewhere between quite and very, but short of great imho - but he has held down a starting spot at 6 in one of the best NRL teams for a few years. Which on that basis alone puts him ahead of Field, Hastings and French.

To be fair hastings is only in super league because he was a complete d””k when he broke through in the nrl - he’s learned from that grown and will be back there soon enough

French and field both I think are more suited to super league which is more attack focused than defensively focused

Williams is a luxury. Better to sort out our front row and let’s see what Smith and Field can do. Need another centre joey Leila west tigers would suggest a punt.

Wire seem to have pissed off a few members of their squad over the treatment some of the players are receiving.

I doubt its enough to back out of a Williams deal, but senior players are not happy.

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.

I'd have Charnley back, he is no longer the same attack threat but he's alot better all round.

They've just announced major losses after asking players to take pay cuts, now they are using money saved on a marque player whilst simultaneously pissing off the rest of the squad who sacrificed a lot of their earnings. My first port of call would to be reimburse my current staff before I took on anyone else on more money.

Id snap your hand off for Charnley back, still one of my favourite players.

I thought only Wigan where cost cutting lol.

Charnley suffers from a lack of ball at Warrington.

I noticed last season when king was covering that side he passed less than Sarge.

Warrington still wont cost cut thats the issue 🤣 their owners will just pump money in to cover the losses. Id ignore the bit about Wire wanting to “stand on their own two feet” they’ll pump money in until they finally win the comp. wont even be an achievement by the time they do it. its like Man City winning the premier league after years of outspending everyone, its expected, anything less is failure
