Done Deal.

I’ve just read the same thing in Wigan today

that article is quite reserved, Wigan believe he has signed for Warrington and not "set to sign for Warrington". Wigan as of 30 seconds before my post have given up.

Although disappointing, we have to set ourselves a cut off in terms of affordability and what we think he is worth.

I personally had reservations around what a Williams and Smith partnership would bring. They seem very similar players in my opinion.

I wonder what our half back pairing will be next year, we cannot rely on having just Tommy and Smith.

I'm presuming we won't have French so unless Field in the halves and hardaker to fullback we need to bring in another half.

I'm struggling to understand what Danson is going to bring to Wigan. If we have lost out on our main target for the sake of lets say £150k. Why on earth has a billionaire part owner not just gave the club that money. they'd get it back and probably more off the back of his signing.

and before anyone says "billionaires are billionaires for a reason" its 150k to a billionaire.

Its like average joe giving £15 to the club to seal a massive transfer. Ridiculous that its got to this. Biggest club in the country is being ruined day by day.

The determining factor with field will be based on:
1 - what happens with French
2 - our tactics for 7 and 6 ( split halves vs traditional)
3 - where our coach sees Smiths role / position

Field has previously said he can play 6 if he’s given freedom and space outwide. That would only be possible playing with traditional 6 and 7. If that is the case, do we see Smith as a 7 (first receiver) or 6 (second receiver)? If the latter then we couldn’t really have a Smith and Field pairing.

Now I'm hearing another twist. Wigan are trying to offer another deal. I've just been told Wigan think he has signed for Wire now I'm being told Wigan are upping the offer, why would they do that if they think he has signed.... have they been told he hasn't signed?

Is this just a Williams agent PR stunt to get what he wants from Wigan

I agree we shouldn't just chuck money at him, but if he is our main target and an ex fan favourite then Wigan need to be seen to be doing everything possible to get him.

Personally speaking if that's his game their welcome to him.

I think a quick announcement will come from one of the clubs anyway. My gut feeling is its done with warrington and Wigan are trying to put a big offer in (knowing he has signed for Wire and cant sign it) just so they can say “we tried our best”
