Theres a rule in place where players are assigned a secondary value by the RFL.

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.
In my humble opinion George is not world class and I believe we can do better if the club works hard at recruitment.

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.

Our fifth tackle plays are shockingly bad and have been for years.nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:48 amThat 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.
