Tonka Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 10 hours ago, TBone said: According to the news articles when Williams was leaving… If that is the case it is not quite the same thing as agreement to return. However, a ‘first refusal’ would mean that Williams would (legally and ethically) be wrong to enter into discussions with another party before Wigan exercised their right of refusal. Reading between the lines it sounds like Wigan may well have been unable to meet the the package that Williams 9having been in discussions with another club) is expecting (which may not all be financial. e.g. like starting pretty much immediately). Either way it seems that Williams was relieved not to have been sued for breaking the right of refusal by engaging with a third party before Wigan. (Anyone remember Leeds Rhinos v Iestyn Harris?) I think it depends on how the first refusal clause was drafted. If there was nothing expressly prohibiting contact with other clubs, I don’t think you can imply it. He could have the conversation but not formalise anything and then still give Wigan the right to refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance that they just don't want to be at their clubs at all. Amazing Everything always comes down to money. People will say it doesnt but everyone always has a price..

But it's interesting that Wire have not yet moved. They must have to play around with their squad. Presumably in the meantime I hope he gets insurance! But as it stands, he could be be signed up by say Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he any good at football, Warrington only say things when it suits them and not before, but if I were a betting man it would be so odds on you wouldn't be able to place a bet on. But in the view of being balanced what odds do you think it is on happening (I'll take Warrington you can have any Leicester team.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human Punk Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 On 19/06/2021 at 23:51, Nate90 said: Whether it's back from NRL or Union , Wigan players more often than not come back worse when it's a second spell at the club I think that's a general rule all round. It's rare in any sport for a returning player to enjoy the same success as first time round, and that's probably just the nature of it. I couldn't imagine going back to work for a company I'd previously left, it woyuld be horrible. George is doing the right thing here, for himself, WIgan and whoever he signs for next.

What, because he hasn't been announced for anyone in the 2.5 weeks since he agreed to leave Canberra? Internet generation really does have no attention span. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
