And wherever his future may lie, the club captain insists any decision to move on will not be due to a feeling that he cannot achieve his goals at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Last week, reports emerged that Williams had informed The Wire of his desire to return to the NRL – perhaps as early as next year if a transfer fee is paid.
The 30-year-old is contracted to the club until the end of next season and insists that all options regarding his future remain on the table, with the Brisbane-based Dolphins franchise said to be leading the chase for his signature.
“On my kids’ lives – there’s nothing been signed or agreed and everything is still on the table,” Williams told the Warrington Guardian.
“There’s been really honest chats between myself and the club and everything has been above board, honest and respectful even when it’s sometimes things you don’t want to hear.
“It is what it is. There is a bit of interest there and as I’ve already said, I’d be stupid not to listen to it.
“It wasn’t great timing for something like that to be out there but that’s the way it is.
“It’s not like I’m not enjoying my time at Warrington because I am – I love it here – but I’ve got to listen to this interest.”
In pre-season, Williams was stoic in his belief that his side had the tools to break the club’s 70-year league title drought but following an inconsistent year, they face an uphill struggle to keep themselves in the hunt.
They are three points adrift of the top six with 11 games of their season remaining but when asked whether or not rumours of him wanting to leave could be taken as a sign his belief in the team’s ability to deliver a Grand Final win has wavered, he issued a firm rebuttal.
“I do still believe that, even if people think I’m deluded with the position we’re in,” he said.
“I don’t want to make any excuses around injuries or anything like that, but we have had zero luck with that kind of thing.
“Even despite that, we’ve still got a great opportunity. We’re starting to get some numbers back and the win at the weekend was good for us.
“We’ve been very inconsistent – it’s been a very up-and-down year but it’s time to make that rollercoaster start going up again and keep it that way.
“This club’s finished first before and not won a Grand Final, so let’s try and do it from fifth or sixth and do it a different way. We’ve no other option because we’ve been inconsistent.
“Now it’s about chasing the top six and there’s plenty of opportunities to get points on the board.”
As Williams mentioned, Warrington have been plagued by injuries to key players throughout the season, with the skipper the first to go down back in April.
An ankle injury ruled him out for seven weeks and after speeding up his recovery process in order to lead his team out in the Challenge Cup Final, he has remained fit ever since.
Now, though, the stand-off insists he feels fully back in the groove.
“It’s felt a lot better in the past week or so,” he said.
“It’s been okay but recovery has just felt a little bit sore.
“Now that recovery time is a little more like normal, which makes sense as I’m now probably at the normal period of time it takes to come back from it.
“It’s pleasing to be back playing and I feel match fit now – it takes a couple of games to get into it so I’ve no excuses now.
“I feel more confident in stepping off it and things like that.
“You’re always a bit more wary about that when you’ve injured it, which is only natural but it’s feeling good.”
