Bit cruel associating Wolfe with the banjo plucker!
On a brighter note for wire, if restrictions continue they’ll have a decent excuse for only 4000 turning up if they make the playoffs!

There were 6 mistakes in the first 20 minutes from the ref which all benefited Warrington, repeatedly giving them the possession and position, until we cracked and it descended from there. Coupled with us not being as battle hardened as we are now in the big games, we never recovered from that first try after so many decisions against us.
Of course Warrington fans will forever deny this and make out that it was some sort of tactical brilliance of Steve Price (I suppose we should be grateful it’s kept him on the job for the last 2 years). They will conveniently ignore the fact that if Saints are awarded that try, they wouldnt have gotten completely rattled, and would have never looked back…
Williams to Warrington seems to be gathering pace; when are we signing someone?
He's said to be back on to these shores in the next few days, so I guess we will know soon enough.
If he is going to Warrington and the plan is for him to play for them straight away, won't they have to move someone on to accommodate him under the cap? I'm not sure on the deadline for mid-season transfers for SL, but I know the date is the 1st of August in the NRL. There's been quite a lot of activity over there in the past couple of weeks, but haven't heard of any links with Warrington players recently.
I think Widdop's performances have really improved this year.

If this was the case, and they moved someone on, say Austin, they surely his salary for the year would still count against the cap, as they'd be giving him the rest of it in one chunk, to pay him off, instead of over the course of the rest of the year?
So there is no saving against the cap then.
So for Williams to play now, he'd presumably have to play for nothing this season (yes, I know....) and then get this years money deferred till next season when they could fit him in as a marquee?
Unless, of course, Austin says "thanks, yes, I'll go home and you can give the rest of my wages to George instead".........
"Never write off the Saints!!"
Corey Norman been told by St George he is not being resigned for next year let’s see how long it is before he’s being linked to warrington like every other man and his dog
Hahha! Of course, but in all seriousness, Warrington will likely have to shift someone first if he's going to play for them this year.
The Wigan media are today reporting Williams is going to Warrington and saying Widdop is being linked with a move back to the NRL to accommodate him-

Norman has said previously that it would be 'too cold' for him over here when Huddersfield came in for him a couple years ago. He may now have to change his mind. He is a good player, so interesting to see how this one develops too.

Anyone who thinks Williams is going to even put an inch of effort into Warrington are massively mistaken. The guy has proven himself to be nothing more than a mercenary ( I don’t blame him for being homesick but demanding the raiders pay him his last 6 months and let him leave is a joke). Look at how all these players come back from AUS they don’t really care. It’s like moving from the Premier league to the SPL. His career at the top level is over and mark my words his performances will show it.
