George Williams said: “Wigan acted professionally and honourably throughout and tried their very hardest to retain me such that finance was not an issue. I thank them for agreeing not to take legal action against me, even though their signed option allowed that course of action, in the spirit of allowing me to commence playing quickly again with a World Cup place for England in prospect.”

Add that to Edwards and we are all happy....right?
If our Chairman won't put the cash in, won't fight for the club then what....how 'bout I run the club 'cos I have no money and no idea?

So what advantage is there is writing something into an agreement if you aren’t going to uphold it
It makes no sense

To be honest I’m done with wigan - and rugby for now - the clubs being run by idiots and quite frankly it doesn’t deserve any more of my time and money
It’s been a blast but I’m out

We'd spend a bunch of money forcing a player to play for us. Would that be a good idea?
At the end of the day, if a player doesn't want to play for a team they don't have to. Just ask Canberra.

You are missing the point - if a Wigan lad (correction two Wigan lads) won't contribute then why should I?

Then why bother with options which are obviously a complete waste of time?
The answer is IL likes to use the fact we have them to pacify fans when a star player leaves. He certainly likes to publicise them when we have them so I can't think of another reason.

Ask Wire to pay a transfer fee.

Would you rather we took George to court and if case won, force him to play with/for us?
Not having a go, just curious.

I'd rather Geroge wanted to play for his home town club like he promised. Maybe George is right - we are not a good option. Where do we go from here?
