Re: Wigan Warriors' George Williams in fresh link with NRL - report
This rumour keeps coming back like a bad curry
Either his agent is playing us off for more money or Williams is desperate to go. Either way I can't see him at Wigan beyond this season.

I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!
Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are

Still young, but i would love to see Harry Smith at scrum half with a quick, evasive stand-off playing off him as a pair rather than split halves.

New Zealand Warriors enter Williams race – but one club isn’t interested
New Zealand Warriors are in the race to sign Wigan halfback George Williams, according to reports.
Speculation down under suggests the Warriors are currently leading the chase the sign the England halfback, with several clubs interested.
League Express revealed on Monday that Canberra were among his suitors and were willing to offer him a three-year deal.
However, the issue for all of Williams’ admirers is the hefty price tag on the halfback’s head, with Wigan set to demand a big transfer fee to release their marquee man. In 2017, Wigan turned down £400,000 for their Academy product, and with the halfback still having years left on his deal, the Warriors won’t let him go cheap.
But with clubs lining up to provide Williams with his NRL dream, it seems inevitable that the 24-year-old will leave the Super League champions at the end of the season.
One place he will not be heading is Newcastle, with the Knights understood to be no longer interested in his services.
Newcastle, who are coached by former St Helens and Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown, were linked with a move for Williams last year.
However, it’s believed the emergence of Kalyn Ponga has cooled their interest.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

It looks like all these clubs in the NRL are of the same opinion as our experienced fans that George is rubbish!!

So if he leaves, who will be team captain next season as he's been nailed down for that job when SOL moves into the backroom staff?
