I would think the three clubs would be Warrington, Leeds and Huddersfield. But I wouldn’t rule out Saints either. Warrington can probably offer him the best deal from November onwards, but if he can be squeezed onto another club’s roster immediately that’s 4 months extra salary which he would otherwise miss out on. I guess it depends what we’re prepared to offer him compared to the other clubs. If it’s Leeds and Saints we’re up against I guess Saints will be the real threat.

Only one of them teams can afford Williams and they aren’t located in Yorkshire.

I would have thought that all three clubs have benefactors with enough cash to match our offer. However, they may not wish to do so as they perceive that they can spend their cash more effectively, elsewhere, to improve their future squad.

No other team apart from Warrington can afford Williams.

Curious how have you come to that conclusion.

A very weird conclusion to come to given the wealth of backers at clubs apart from Warrington.

Well he was on over £450k a year at the Raiders. How big a pay cut do you think he’s going to take? Do any of Leeds/Huddersfield pay any of their payers over 200k a year? I don’t think so. We were paying Tyrone Roberts 300k a year.

Not sure you can make any accurate assumptions about relative wealth at the moment. The world has changed and Wire finances have obviously taken a hit. Unless, of course, you are in fact right in the middle of the financial action.

Methinks you will find LTS is correct about the destination of Master Williams.

I know how much we’ve offered him for next season and it’ll be nowhere near to what Leeds or Huddersfield will/have offered.
