Hastings is going to Wests so their for his £175 K salary would be replaced by Williams' £75 K on the cap?
Is that not cheaper?

Why does it matter to you?

Never won any games for us you're right

The cap cannot be the issue with £75K only counting towards it.

Granted you've still got to pay him his overall salary, but for me he is worth it. Whoever you sign at halfback if you want any quality you will have to pay for it

For me:

a) i think he is a brilliant player
b) who else is available of his quality?
c) we can take advantage of the fact only £75K counts on the cap and still have the wiggle room for a prop.

Let's face it what other half back of his quality is available at £75K of your cap?

Again we've no idea what Wire are offering I guess and there has to be a line in the sand at some point. It would be incredibly disappointing though. I cant understand the flippancy of if he signs for Wire "oh well". I'd be gutted.

It doesn't matter to me Eggy one little bit
I'm just trying to tell your numpties on here how much cheaper re signing Williams would be IF Lenners didn't mind paying his asking salary

Rather than what it would cost him to sign a replacement of the same quality up front and also on your clubs salary cap?

Not what i call a game breaker nor is he a dominant half. He tackles a lot but he doesn't guide the team around like a Luke Gale does for Leeds. As i said, good player yes but not worth paying over the odds for.

Fair play to IL for sticking to his guns and knowing what GW is worth.

The guys obviously and mercenary. He'll $h!t on Wire, just like he did with us and Canberra.

The idea he is not a match winner is nonsense.

I'm not saying he is the GOAT/Andrew Johns, but he is a bloody good player. Best half back to come out of our academy in the SL era.

But as cobra has pointed out.....it isn't as black and white as that.

Thanks for your input though.

Sam was better

I’m not sure why you’re fixed on the £75k? Wigan have to pay him his wage and if they offered good money then it negates your comments about Wigan’s financial position. If Warrington want to pay him above market value just to get him then it’s their business but Mr Lenegan is more astute than that.
