Signed for the Wire 5 year deal on Marquee contract……………NO only joking but I would be happy if he did come to us, but hardly likely and the fact you got first refusal, just thought it strange Aus news had us as favourites

Steady on, NK, there is no way Williams is a better player than Cleary or Munster! But I agree he has done well in a misfiring side, Yes, he had a poor game, and an injury, but looked more effective than fans' fave Wighton last time out. And the consensus amongst Raiders fans is generally in no way "blame the Pom", by and large, they don't. And rightly so.

Haven’t said he is. I said up until a couple of weeks ago he had more try contributions that Cleary, who is having another great season and he still has more contributions than Munster and plenty of other top players.

Simply pointing out that he’s doing pretty well again and isn’t having this poor season I’ve heard mentioned since the news came out that he’d like to head back to the UK.

From what I've seen, a lot of blame can be placed on Hodgson - he's ridiculous sometimes.

They look a much better team with Starling at 9 this year.

Hodgson is a great player but he tries to do too much and clearly wants to be “the man” at the Raiders.

Sadly for him he has 2 dominant halves in Williams and Wighton who need the ball and to be centre stage.

I’d expect Hodgson to move in the off-season to maybe somewhere like Brisbane who lack a dominant controlling player and I am sure you would see him back to his best.

Must have been told it's their year. Would like him back at Wigan but if he goes to warrington then hey ho. Can't say I'd be gutted although I don't believe this story anyway.

Agreed, content loaded with outrageous headlines and you can’t read the stories unless you become a patron.

Definitely after traffic.

If there's the slightest truth in this then George's agent should box off the Raiders good style.
The Raiders will take Austin now as the quality replacement for GW then he's still the quality replacement at the end of the year when he's OOC at Wire. Austin to Raiders from November 2021 and 2022 with George to leave then and join Wigan.
