George Williams might be available, homesick apparently.

We should be trying to get him IMO

If that’s true we should move heaven and earth to bring him in. He’s been top drawer at Canberra. I know he’s a Wigan lad but they might be unable to afford it.

Absolutely no chance on Williams.
Wigan players only go one place when coming back from the NRL - Wigan!
Bateman, Leuleuai, Tomkins, J Burgess.

Whereas Leeds players coming back from the NRL don’t come back to Leeds!
Morley, Ellis, Hardaker, Hall....

Strange but true!

Maybe, but we should be trying.

However I suspect it would be a straight swap for Hastings.

Plenty of other NRL HBs available for 2022.

I'm sure we will snap one of them up!

But yeh if he comes back it will be to replace Hastings.
Unless we bring in Wane as coach.....

My post on the Wigan forum.

Williams will be in BIG demand over here. Wire, Leeds, Saints and Wigan will all be looking for at least one halfback next year. His relationship with Lenagan and Radlinski was good so that should give us a bit of a start. We will almost certainly lose Gildart to Aus as he is desperate to try his hand over there, Hastings, Leuluai, Clarke, Clubb will probably all be gone so money shouldn't be an issue.

Will be interesting to see, we will have bags of cap to spend

IF Williams returns there will only be 1 club he will sign for if they want him and thats Wigan.

Not saying we shouldnt enquire but it wont happen

Nathan Massey linked to Leeds.

George Williams? No thanks - not even in the Top 25 halfbacks in the NRL.

Rides on Wighton's coattails.
