George Williams

[Sparkles 2001]

Will George Williams have an impact in the NRL or be a flop?

 

[LittleWayne]

Flop, he's a 5/8th.

 

[Walpole]

Flop. There's been some good Englishmen over the years but who was the last top class halfback? Tommy Bishop?

 

[nick87]

Flop. And thank god, i hate the Raiders.
We all do now.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

I hope he is a success. He is the English halfback and he will be mentored by Ricky Stuart. If it works out it could be very good for the international game for England to go into the 2021 world cup with a genuine world class hooker and halfback.

He might be determined to make up for the devastation the raiders suffered in October. Being so close to a premiership but now so very far, it’s tough. Tough for the players, officials and the raiders faithful. He’s a good player, in England. The nrl is a few levels up so will be interesting

 

[Perth Red]

Shaun Edwards, Sean Long, Andy Gregory, Jonathon Davies (all be it welsh union convert), Garry Schofield, Iestyn Harris, Kevin Sinfield, Danny Macquire probably the best of a limited selection in last three decades.

Indeed

I think it's gross that the mods are allowing a poster to openly indulge in their fetishistic dislike of the Raiders on the main board.

George Williams should be "George Who" for at least the next 3 seasons, given where he's coming from and where he's going.

Shaun Edwards, Sean Long, Andy Gregory, Jonathon Davies (all be it welsh union convert), Garry Schofield, Iestyn Harris, Kevin Sinfield, Danny Macquire probably the best of a limited selection in last three decades.

Pretty much all of them were 5/8's.

 

[Chook Norris]

Flop. When did we last have a good English back? Didn't he also get held out of the GB team by plodder Jackson Hastings

 

[Headless Chook]

And Blake Austin.

 

[Sparkles 2001]

Bring back toodles, he’s been your best player of the last two decades

 

[gerg]

I'm a dedicated stats man and I'd say it's a 50/50. He either will make it or he won't.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Poor Gympsy

 

[Sparkles 2001]

They need another 2 or so forwards with some mongrel in them

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I reckon you'd like some mongrel in you sparklegitano

 

[LeagueXIII]

Flop. There's been some good Englishmen over the years but who was the last top class halfback? Tommy Bishop?

Englishman Gary Stephens was the half in Manly's 1976 premiership win.

Andy Gregory was Man of the Match when Illawarra missed by a whisker in the Cup in 1989.

Get Raudonikis to give whitehead and Bateman some slapping around the chops, might put some lead in their pencils

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Flop. The NRL is where Super League halves come to die.
