Heard Mark Wilson on Talksport earlier saying that he believes that Wigan are 'clearing salary cap space' before bringing Williams in. Warrington have made him an excellent offer for next year and beyond but Williams is prepared to wait for Wigan to make room for him.

It sounds to me like the deal to bring Williams back to Wigan was done some time ago but is only just coming to light now that the Raiders have outed him.
I reckon the agreement was in place during the off season when Bateman was heading back to Wigan and Wigan have since been clearing the decks to create space for Williams. That has meant they had to let Hastings go and couldn't afford to keep Gildart.
They both may have gone anyway but wigan stood a better chance of keeping them if they didn't have to clear cap space for williams.
Last weeks performance looked like there was trouble at the mill and all ties into the timining of all of the Williams rumours.
Wigan will come through this smelling of roses though, they always do. I remember the Tomkins incident and the Bateman / Mossop incident thinking that their season would fall apart but at Wigan these sort of things just make them stronger in the long run.

All the journo’s reckon he’ll be at Wire next year. Saying it’s his preference and it was a straight forward done deal for next year until his sudden release

Matthew Shaw and Aaron Bower did a Q&A yesterday pal and seem convinced. Moley reckons Warrington too.

Everyone’s cat and dog have had some view of where he is going now anyway maybe there are still issues over his release and that still needs sorting before any announcement is made.
