Part of the risk would be losing one of the quality youngsters I guess - 3 full backs? Think we lost Briscoe years ago as he was wanting to play more regular first team rugby

Loads to spend in which way? Salary cap limits us regardless and more of a risk is on a player who was being listed last month as potentially being finished.

If we sign him as a player, we use him as a player - we have coaches to coach players

George Williams heading back to the NRL apparently, to sign with the Dolphins. Told Wire he won't extend his deal (that runs out at the end of 2026) and he'll either go for 2026 or 2027 according to Matt Shaw. 

Not really a surprise

He hasnt done that much since coming back IMO and seems to be one to always chase the money

Problem for Wire will be either to let him go now for a fee or force him to stay when he doesn't want to be there and not get a fee. 


Obvious plan would allow him to go now for a fee. That can only happen if Wire can find a capable replacement.


In a way a shame another quality player lost to Super League.

There’s your route back for Lewis Dodd. 

He's 31 this year, so only 3, poss 4 more seasons in him, so i personally dont think a big loss to super league in that sense. We're used to getting aged Ozzies coming over for a pay day, so why not the other way , although he'll be on a decent wedge at Wire as he only signed there to win things and not for the Wigan £££
