The latest seems to be Canberra won’t let him go early unless they find a suitable replacement

Other than money I would see no other reason why he would go somewhere else, we are the biggest club in England and probably currently the second best team and by all accounts he left on good terms.

Don't Wigan have contract clause with him where you have first option on him?

We had a deal with Edwards, turned out to be a handshake

Who knows? The agreement we had with Shaun Edwards didnt turn out too well

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.

The Raiders won't touch Austin with a barge-pole.

Yeah but, no but.

Just been watching the Raiders, George kicking goals for fun.

His technique always looked great here I felt but it just seemed like a job he really didn’t want. If we did manage to get him back in, it’s nice to have that option alongside Harry Smith and then have Hardaker backing up as third choice.

I'd make Shorrocks third choice.

That goal from the right touch line was superb

Yeah, he's kicked well, and generally played well in a poor side. The Raiders get harder and harder to watch; You watch Melbourne and Penrith, and see how it should be done... but Sticky is a long way away from getting anywhere near that.

Been released with immediate effect from Canberra. Hope we’re getting him on that plane home ASAP

You’d have thought he’s already signed somewhere, hopefully for us but it does create a bit of an issue with regards to the backs. Surely someone has to go now to accommodate him?

We have the Burgess money and marquee slot. Maybe they will just take him early in order to have him on board for next year, when Hastings has gone.

A Williams Hastings combo would be nice for the rest of this season. Although it could set up Hastings leaving early.
