Not for me. Williams is a class player and would love him back but Hastings is a maverick and already world class playing behind a team of props who regularly let him down hence him taking the line on a lot. It must be so frustrating for him. Look how good he was at Salford playing behind props who made metres. Not world beaters but just good honest props, Mossop, Dudson, Burke, Ikhahifho, Flanaghan, McCarthy but Yates is a world beater in my opinion. The perfect loose forward.

'world beater'. Give over. He's a decent player at SL level, but go's missing in big games....

I’d have Mossop back. He was brilliant against Castleford.

Look at his stats over the last 2 years. He is a tackling and metre making machine. Put him in one of the top sides and it improves them instantly.

I don’t see why we can’t do all 3?

Burgess, Tommy, Clarke, Clubb, Hastings and possibly French/Gildart all leaving this season there’s no reason we could do all 3. Decent props come relatively cheaply and are extremely good value for money. Williams will obviously come with a weighty price tag but that shouldn’t in anyway hinder prop recruitment.

Decent props don't grow on trees* . I think Wire have recruited well this season in Mulhearn and Butler, but it has been a long time coming.
*Unless they are clothes props...

Yet Canberra let Cezar go to bring Williams in, and a lot of U.K.RL fans are drooling over Cezar.

I think he was referring to Yates.

Second tweet like that must be something behind them.

Also with Batty coming out about how Canberra deals with player's. I wonder if he’s had a word with George about coming back to Wigan.

I was talking about Hastings....
Williams is a much better player.........

Funny seeing the replies from Ozzie fans who are now saying he’s crap and can’t hack the pace so going home. Funny they weren’t saying that all last season and early this season. From what I have seen he has been very good out there, added bonus he’s a better kicker than Zak too, he just needs to embrace that role/pressure as I believe he has the mechanics to be a good goal kicker just his head can go down after missing a kick.
