Andrew Johns and the NRL commentators that watched him in the WCC win against Cronulla last year quite liked his performance that day.
I'm not going to get all worked up over the GW situation - This time last year it was all signed sealed and delivered that he was going to the Wolfs according to the Message Board experts.
What I will say is, There is no other British Half back that I would want to see at Wigan over the next 3 years than George Williams.
On that front I would be gutted if he left.
then again if the coaches don't fancy him or the Paymasters think they can get better value elsewhere then so be it.
Jukesays, I’m aware you say you have links to the players so appreciate that may influence what you put on here, but I can’t help feel you’re missing the point on this one.
Lam has said he wants his son and Williams playing together. Lenagan has said he wants to keep George Williams and Radlinski has said he’s an integral part of Wigan’s future so I don’t think it’s that people within the club don’t want him.
And it’s not that this is a rumour like the Warrington rumour was... George has been directly quoted by NRL.com saying he wants to play in the NRL next year and whilst it may not be what Wigan want, he would like to make a deal if a legitimate offer is there.
I think he’s quality and likewise would be gutted if he left, especially given our recent coaching appointments but this has come across as very poor form on his behalf, disrespectful to the club to be honest.
Nothing against players wanting to go to the NRL, I would in there position but it’s how you handle it. Bateman for example made it clear early on and got the clause into the last year of his contract. He’s taken it and I think I speak on behalf of most fans when I say I’m gutted to see him go but good on him, no hard feelings. Williams however has only recently signed a new marquee money deal on the back of the afromentioned rumours and now he’s coming out saying he doesn’t want to be here. I just can’t accept that and if he/his agent are just going to be generating a constant rumour mill and/or his heads not in it then he might as well f*ck off.
