Well big ups to George
He didn’t dump the club by text, he just attempted to get out the club and to a Sydney location, then told them he was home sick, then that he wouldn’t play or train with them because his mental health was so bad he couldn’t even face the club, and then tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube when he realised the cheques would stop coming in immediately because we agreed to release him

Big f**king round of applause for Georgey haha

he wanted his cake and to eat it too, and that’s fine by me, everyone should do what is in their best interests
Trouble is that everyone includes the club. They’ve called his bluff and now he wants some of chips back from the pot

sorry George, that’s not how the game works
You played the game, you pot committed and now it’s time to see the cards and he knows he has no hand.
So yeah, you focus on Hooper because he’s a detestable piece of shit. Problem is even a broken clock is right twice a day, Hooper has absolutely nailed this situation in his article

Yeah, this. Good on you as a Raiders fan for calling out that sort of bullshit, when your club goes to great expense to get someone in, pays them very handsomely, then when things don't go exactly their way they try and get the f**k out of dodge. And I have no doubt Hooper has this spot on, because Sticky is a big f**king leaky boat when it comes to inside info.

Imagine a bloke from the north of England coming down and complaining about the climate. I'm a massive advocate for mental health but this is entitled sooking. Not the same thing.

If this is a mental health issue and George is in such a state mentally that he's unable to play or train, such is his desire to be released and move home...

exactly why is he upset at getting an immediate release? He's not been earning pittances. He's got plenty of money, and someone with his level of income and absolutely nothing else to do could have him and his family home in 2 weeks from now

Great result right? Mental health issue resolved right?
But it's not. And he is upset... why?

$$$$

edit: and again, i personally have no problem with that. Get as much money as you can. If he simply wanted to play out this year and head home after that, he just needed to get on with it. The club had already conceded he was lost and were searching for his replacement. He upped the ante when he decided to try to see if he could get paid without playing... well, sometimes when you gamble, you lose.

Raiders fans who are defending their club (and hey, there isn’t a fan here who wouldn’t do the same for the club they support) will soon realise that this runs deeper than some Pom wanting to go home... Something is rotten in the ranks of the Raiders.

Notice all the likes from the other Canberra players for Williams' yestrday tweet on NRL 360, including Big Papa and Nickleclockstopper.

I was kind of shocked watching Hoopers reaction last night on NRL 360 when they out up George Williams tweet. He certainly looked like the deer caught in the headlights after what he had said only minutes prior.

Look I don’t know how deep the issues are within the Raiders ranks but it certainly doesn’t look good.

Ha i'm not taking any sides mate. I'm just saying George was right to question the shit headline and am amused at Hooper defending it.

Who knows if Georgie is playing games or not? If it is real mental health issues, Raiders could be justified in cutting him loose early.

But Hooper is actually going further and questioning whether it's real or not by slinging shit. All because he has a bee in his bonnet that his mate called him baldy. It's a funny take.

Sorry, which poster has suggested there isnt a shit ton of problems going on at the Raiders right now?
The two arent mutally exclusive.

No one is dunking on this stupid f**king club more than their own fans right now. Rightly so, they're f**ked and we should invoice those merkins for pain and aggrevation they've caused us.

wtf are you talking about

quote a post where a raiders fan hasn't already accepted that the house has burned down. The club is a f**king mess and every fan knows it. But good on you for pointing it out

Oh dear... sensitive bunch of merkins hey?

Na not really.

They are absolutely laying into their club right now and have been for months. Outside of the three Manly fans who post on here they are easily the most self critical fanbase on the forum and they are doing it in this very thread.
