Oh I agree I'm not happy with recruitment so far, I'm just not panicking as it's not finished yet and the lack of options available to all clubs is well documented.

Given the lack of options, we will be facing stiffer opposition than usual in the transfer market. We have Hastings, Burgess, & Gildart wages to play with (plus one or two others). Yet, if the Williams rumours are true then we can’t compete for a player who will only count as £75k on the cap. How likely are we to push the boat out for another big name who will count as more against our cap and may carry a transfer fee?
I’ll hold judgement until the Williams deal is confirmed and our signings are complete, but at this stage I’m starting to get concerned.

3 year deal with wire with 100k difference in salary compared to wigans offer apparently

Its only a rumour and Ive heard nothing from Wigan, not to sure where its came from. It may or may not be true, but they did up their offer last week as I said

I’m not sure why Warrington aren’t announcing it, it may well be live cap related. I know they are shopping Jake Mamo and Clarke around. When I heard from my source at Salford, my first thought was that I didn’t think Budge would give false info, just simply due to his friendship with GW, he was pretty sure George was already signed up last Friday. I’d imagine a decent pay packet helps but we will never be made aware of the actual disparity between what Wigan and Warrington offered, was also told a fresh, new challenge was more important to George than revisiting the old.

This.

As for Williams it’s got boring now someone announce something one way or the other

Where is our reputed billionaire when we need him???

Billionaires tend to stay that way by not frittering money away on a sports club

I'll be so diasappointed if we miss out on George. Been really hoping for some positive recruitment news for a few weeks. If he doesn't sign I don't fancy our chances next season given the limited (realistic) options available. Come on Mr Lenagan, make my day!
