I’ve recall ever seen an ‘average’ ‘just above average’ game from Williams.

Whatever that means.

Not that this is the first trait you look for in a half back, but he’s an excellent defender too.

Far better defender then Austin,, who’s looking like a turnstile at the minute.

I'm guessing its the negotiations re. whoever is leaving to get him in. One OUT + One IN ...multiple contracts to sort out takes time...especially when dealing with agents and parties on the other side of the world....during a global pandemic with significant travel restrictions.

The longer this goes on points to one outcome.... he's a Warrington player.

Re: George Williams. : Wed Jun 16, 2021 4:13 pm  

It's clear he's coming to us. When do we ever announce a player immediately after signing them? The Holmes and Mata'utia deals had obviously been done a while ago, only announced yesterday.

This was in the MEN:

When asked about Williams' status, Lam said: "No doubt you'll hear something in the next week about whatever club he's going to, whoever it is, but it's the time of year where there's a handful of things going on, " he said. "I'm not too sure where it all is.

"It wouldn't be a great thought, George going to another club given he's a Wigan junior, but that's the bridge we'll cross if that's the outcome. Until there's any further news there's no real comment to make about that.

It's the way of the world these days, isn't it? Everything is leaked on social media and known about weeks or months in advance of official announcements. When was the last time the Warrington Guardian had big Wire news that came completely out of the blue?

I just assumed that was a paul Cullen thing that the guardian would have the exclusive. I always thought that was just phased out.

So according to Jenna Brooks just now Williams is due back in the country on Saturday but as she understands Williams is yet to sign on the dotted line. The other thing is Widdop to Canberra before the end of season.
