Someone's getting a bit Giddy

PS - 130k more than what Wigan offered

Can't believe I'm going to say it - But agreeing with Saddened



Your owners are willing to pay GW what he wants - The others may be what he is worth - The 2 aren't the same.



Massive GW fan, always have been and gutted he won't be coming back to Wigan

Any chance you can take this playground spat to either Leeds or Saints forum? You 2 Willy waving is of no interest to the rest of us.

He’s only saying what is being said on your own forum by your own fans.

Honestly not sure what the hold up is. I've head he's nailed on for next season but it could be that they're trying to get a deal in place this season at Warrington as GW won't be sitting on his backside for 6 months during a World Cup year but obviously Warrington will have to make cap room. I don't know whether we have much cap space left but I'd have thought we could get him on a short term contract this season for peanuts as he will be desperate to play with a deal in place for a long term contract next season for marquee money once Austin leaves.

There does appear to be a lot of what should be confidential information about player's salaries and the like knocking around. It would appear that the club is as secure as the department for health's cctv system.



Its probably the same source that shared the Austin missing passport story

Signed a one year extension before he left.

George williams signed a first refusal document before he left. How's that worked out?

Anyone having a pop at Saddened or saints is welcome on here, no matter what team they support.

Wait, what? Are you suggesting these rumours are just…rumours? I don’t think so, surely every player shares their salary demands with whoever asks. I’m seriously questioning how “in the know” you actually are.

I don't think we can do this (as more than peanuts will count on the cap), which is the problem as were in a World Cup year.

You'd think I was horrible the way people have a go at me. I get shot at every time I post and it's never anything controversial.

You need to change your shirt & embrace all that is Wire ,then we would all love you.



I must say ,though ,that this is getting as drawn out as the Sculthorpe fiasco.

Ah yes the game where he never played but then came back the week after with Warrington 'declining' to comment when approached instead of refuting the claim.

he didn't play the week after

That's the problem even if we pay him a fiver he will still count as 150k in the cap !

The amount of time it took for Danny to agree terms with us was absolutely shocking.

Duckie called in nearly 4 weeks ago. The day after our challenge cup exit to Cas. Williams 3 year deal was agreed then.

Got some shat about it, but when have I never.

It’s this interim period that seems to be the headache I would guess. Tbh, I have a feeling Wire and Williams have just been stalling with the likelihood of the WC not happening, to which, Williams could have an extended vacation into preseason throughout his partners pregnancy.

Possibly. But I'm sure Warrington would prefer he played some rugby this year. You don't want another Inglis situation where it takes him two months to get match fit then ends up getting injured because he hasn't played in 12 months. Even if it's just a few hand picked games for Widnes or someone like that?

I'll ask again, why would Warrington (assuming he signs for us) agree to play Williams in the Championship?

Yeah I'd love him risking a long term injury in somebody else's cause! Wrap him in cotton wool, let him train with us then hopefully get a short term deal back end. I can't see the world Cup going ahead and if that's the case he doesn't need a gig elsewhere I don't think.

Remember when we signed Gleeson. He was banned when we signed him and couldn't play till the start of the next season. Come the start of the next season, he was about the fittest player in the team, and he hit the ground running in the same or even better form he'd been in at the end of his Saints days.



Still won feck all with us, mind, but you couldn't fault the way he was prepared to start his gig with us.

The kid’s a rugby player, I think it would be a bad move all round not having him play till next February. He’s had a pretty crap time of it recently, he needs to play a bit of rugby, hopefully with us, but somewhere

I think there’s only about 11 weeks left in the season anyway. It’ll make no difference to his ability if he played or didn’t. It’s not like he’d been out for 2 years.

Perhaps the exchange rate is playing some part in this . The £ is not far off being 2 $AU.

I just wanted to be post #500. It adds as much as most of the recent ones.
