A choice has been reached regarding the future of English international and former playersCanberra Raiders halfback George Williamsafter he stated his wish to go back to theNRLand was also strongly associated with a relocation toThe Dolphins.
Last playing in the NRLin 2021, Williams has shown strong performance abroad in theSuper Leaguethis series and is also anticipated to receive a return to theEnglandAustralian team in the Ashes series againstAustraliaby the end of the year.
Expressing his wish to go back to theNRLearlier this year, Williams was connected with a potential transfer toThe Dolphinsto become the next half’s partner ofIsaiya Katoa.
Nevertheless, a transfer to the Queensland club has now collapsed following the two teams’ inability to reach an agreement on a possible transfer fee, resulting in the halfback staying at theWarrington Wolves for 2026, per All Out Rugby League.
Despite the 30-year-old staying in theSuper Leaguefor the upcoming season, a transition to theNRLis probable to happen during the 2027 season, particularly with thePerth Bearsnew team joining the league.
All matters have been handled openly and honestly, so there is no resentment regardless of the outcome,Williams said last week.
If I remain in Warrington, I won’t be free of them and they won’t be free of me. Whatever happens, will happen.
During his earlier period with theCanberra Raiders, Williams felt homesick and made just 32 appearances before being let go before his contract ended.
“For a long time, I couldn’t praise him enough. Everything from when I first arrived, right up to our initial discussions about missing home,” Williams wrote onBBC regarding his connection with the previous trainerRicky Stuart.
When it finally came to me departing, everything changed rapidly. The conversations and messages exchanged back and forth.
I was politely requesting to depart at the conclusion of the season, I wasn’t simply stating, ‘I’m going to take off,’ I had some conversations, I was attempting to figure out what we could arrange.
I’m feeling sad because the relationship has become quite bitter. I haven’t spoken to him since the release. He was amazing, and I’ll always remember that, but when things went wrong, he walked away from me.
