I think that Williams was scheduled in for surgery on his back after the four nations. I suspect that will have more to do with it.

The pics for new kits are done ages ago.

From what I've heard we have offered him a new deal and are waiting to see what he says when he returns from Dubai, its good money and apparently he will accept the new contract, just what I've heard so don't shot me down if it's incorrect

Training gear he said. Judging from previous years you're also putting too much faith in the club, they tend to be last minute with these things!

No pictures of Bateman or Liam Farrell in the training gear either.

Either all three are potentially off or the pictures were taken when those three were otherwise engaged!

It's a disaster then. All our players who were involved with England are leaving.

Why would Williams want to leave Wigan for Warrington?

Isn't he a Wigan lad ?

He's just won the grand final. He's broke into the England team. He was up for young player of the year.

Sounds like a silly rumour to me

I think that the sarcasm in my post was lost on some of you.

RL Mole on Twitter now saying that Warrington have signed Kevin Brown from Widnes. He's usually very accurate with his announcements is Moley so let's see if it's true.
If they have I'd suggest it will put an end to the Williams rumour for next season at least.

The Mole is usually not far off and if that's the case Williams to Warrington wont be happening, but he will be off to the NRL at some point which would be easier to take rather than a super league club. Extract from his Monday scoops

"NRL clubs showing interest in England star

Several NRL clubs are looking at poaching Wigan and England five-eighth George Williams for next season.

Williams is under contract to Wigan but is believed to be keen to try his hand in the NRL in the wake of the success of the likes of the Burgess brothers and James Graham in recent years.

Williams stood out in a disappointing England team in the recent Four Nations, starting against Scotland with good effect and coming off the bench against the Kangaroos.

Look for his agent to open talks with NRL clubs in coming weeks."
