If we can get big money for George he can go asap for me . His head is not with this team at present.

Regards EW

No I didn't know he played. Thanks for that. The last info upon selection was on Friday evening when media reported he would be rested not risked on the astro.

Well that is a whole bigger beast. It looks really grim atm then.

O'Loughlin is fine, hes not been the problem first 5 games.

George needs to be cut some slack. There is far too much pressure on him to do too much. Put a good 7 next to him and then if he does not improve, i would move him to 9 and bring in a new 6 as well as new 7 and scrap the new 9.

He is paid to produce, he isnt doing. Simples

As our marquee player, he’s running out of places to hide now. He needs this, he needs that but his one good game every 6 games isn’t worth the hassle of building a team around him.

No half back in the world can produce unless he has some running threats around him.

How much he is paid is irrelevant if everything goes through him and those around him are not up to the task.

Put Williams in the Saints team and he would be a different player

Not so much running threats around him...as a dominant pack in front of him.

150 game veteran now he’s run out of goodwill from more than a few fans that’s for sure

Ultimately both Williams and Hardaker needed the club to get the scrum half signing right and we pulled out a player only lower end championship and league one clubs were looking at.

Yes they both should be doing more but with no replacement for Bateman being signed, a couple of other forwards struggling and a cheap panic signing at scrum half it’s not hugely surprising. I do think the end of the road is close for Williams. He was apparently livid not to be allowed to move to the NRL last year and his career is stagnating. He’s a fine player but he looks like he needs a change of scene and the huge challenge the NRL would bring.

He only resigned in 2017/18 didn't he? I think IL would not be happy to grant an early release so soon. IL is business shrewd even if tight....he'd more likely wait until there is a season left on contract and get a fee, would he not?

This.

He’s on an awful lot of money. He either produces at 6 or can swan off to Aus (along with Burgess, for me, who also wants to go) and no doubt be back in 2 years playing for Leeds or someone else’s. If Sam didn’t rip up trees, then GW won’t have a chance.

As for moving him to 9, he isn’t a marquee 9 so sod that. We can’t pay him stupid money to play at 9 when we could likely have someone for half the money who does a similar job.

I’m bored rigid of the defence of GW. Like the above says, he probably averages a decent game in 6 (usually when we’re on Sky - go figure?!!) and that’s not good enough for Wigan.
Get his bags packed and make some money off him.
