It all comes down to the coaches desire and Danson footing some of the bill financially id say.

Can fit him under the cap easily but the wages and the transfer fee would require covering, the club couldn't afford it without money being put in
Implying we can’t afford to spend up to the cap or the transfer fee would need covering Dan ? I do believe that some of these signings for next year are more a goodbye gift from IL than danson splashing his money. But when u consider the money he’ll be losing on latics I’m sure he could sanction a few hundred k to secure George if rads and co wanted him

Don’t talk sense it won’t catch on. Brilliant player but he turned us down for money so people won’t see that
His celebrations against us at magic didn’t help but no issue in him securing a better deal at wire. We gave him his fair share back as well

And then once we've spent all this money and he get's bored again will you be happy to see him jump ship when another NRL side come in for him?

No more returning players. It just hasn't worked. Didn't rate him that high before he left TBH, but he did well for a year in the NRL.

Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. It’s a short career.

We’d be his last big contract

Transfer fee id assume would need covering and possibly a % of wages. Wigan can afford to spend the cap, but considering Williams would count as £50k the wage bill would be substantially above the cap in terms of money leaving the bank. 3 marquee players in effect

Good point. I suspect nrl clubs will be on alert considering the lack of half’s around

GW and his agent might put it on hold now Powell has gone to see who is to take over.
Hell of a job for whoever becomes their coach.

He signed a new an improved contract like 2/3 months ago when the NRL was sniffing again.

Now Powell’s gone Wire will settle down again.


I’d love him back as he and Smith is a perfect partnership but it won’t happen.

Wire would never let that happen.
