George Williams : Tue May 25, 2021 10:17 am  
Looking like George will be back in SL soon with the Raiders looking like they have spat the dummy out and released him immediately, even though he stated he was happy for it at the end of the season. Family comes first, and as a Wakefield fan I can’t wait to see him back on our shores, absolute fantastic player and has proved he can match it with the elite

Not sure that George withdrawing from training and from selection for this weekend's game reflects the Raiders spitting the dummy!

He text the Welfare Manager saying that his mental state was not right, he wouldn't train today and probably not right for Saturday. So they release him immediately - access to the welfare manager withdrawn. Nice look for the Raiders. Let's hope wherever he ends up - Warrington pretty dead set - that he finds some form, and rams all the negative stuff happening in Australia about this story now, right down their throats in the World Cup.

Although it probably won't impact things, but I would hope that players looking to go to Australia, see that players like Williams, Bateman etc. sometimes just can't wait to get home.

The way Canberra have hung him out to dry is a disgrace and I wish them every misfortune for the rest of the season.

Re: George Williams : Tue May 25, 2021 11:16 am  
It is interesting watching 360 especially with Kenty and Hooper having close connections with Ricky Stuart/Canberra. They are basically saying Williams should man up which to an extent i agree with. But from what i read Williams has said he will stay till the end of the season and Canberra have spat the dummy. I cant see us/Warrington getting him. Gold Coast would have to take Austin now or Widdop goes to Canberra/Cronulla which i wouldnt want to happen

It'll be interesting where he ends up.

I can't see many clubs having space on the cap for him this season, unless of course they do a bit of jiggery-pokery or maybe try and offload a big earner.

I'd expect he'll be back at Wigan next season, what with Hastings going home, but this year who knows, maybe Leeds?

Maybe his wife/partner could work in the Wigan shop, it used to pay really, really well :IDEA:

Seriously though, it will be great to have him back in SL, I was surprised that he's 26, as I thought he was still a "young lad".

Disgraceful treatment by Canberra.

Williams was ready to leave at the end of the season. dude asked for help as he was struggling with his mental health wellbeing and the club kicks him out the door and send out a statement which was not true at all.
