Accordind to Sydney News Today it also could be that Widdop will be released imminently to make room for Williams...

So why does Fitzpatrick keep saying Widdop is going nowhere.

He is probably talking about the rugby and mixing Widdop up with Austin.

Williams is a Wire and I told you weeks ago. It’s just this season he’s out in limbo. Not sure how his agent will get him a short term contract somewhere, but I suspect it is where the ‘not signed for anyone’ alleged quote is referencing. Being economical with the fact.

yer sounding a bit nervous now duckie,

I never believe anything till it’s actually announced, it’s one thing to have a rumour but to say we have signed someone when it’s not actually confirmed is different,the duck is not the only one to make these comments.

Mind games maybe??? Time will tell as they say

Never before have I wanted us to miss out on a quality signing as much as this, just to see how The Rubber One would wriggle his way out of it....

It seems blindingly obvious the deal for Williams was for next season and him becoming available now has confused matters. It might be that he's agreed to join for next year but not signed it yet, hence his insistence that he hasn't. There doesn't seem to be any other clubs linked anymore and he's ruled Wigan out.

I must have missed that. Either that, or it's got lost among all the other classic Duckisms that have made me chuckle/shake my head in bewilderment over the years...
