Williams simply has to stay at Wigan.

George is as good and imo better than any young half in the NRL....superb gritty tough plenty of skill, if we wanted a half like him from Aus it would be the marque signing...some people can't see the woods for the trees..

The reason I don't think he would get too much interest from the NRL because the halves and the ability to develop halves is relentless. They have a production line of quality halves at all clubs.

There however seems to be a bit of a lack of quality or depth of quality in other positions particularly outside backs. Obviously they have the superstars but centre is a position that lacks depth in the NRL wingers and fullbacks often shifted there to see how they go. I just don't think English halves are in demand at the moment.



Tommy will be more of an issue as a 7 than George as a 6. I think people are forgetting Tommy was often void of ideas and has the single worst kicking game from a 7 I've ever seen.

I think letting Smith go was a positive step, but replacing him with Tommy isn't.

Tommy had his poor patches for Wigan at 7, but he had plenty of good games too, and he's arguably been playing better than ever this season.

He's been very direct for NZW this year, taking the ball right up to the line and making loads of space for his outside backs. I think Williams will really kick on next year playing with him.

TLs average years were under Noble. One Maguire arrived and set up an attacking structure TL excelled at 7 and 9. He was class in 2012 when we finished top and scored nearly 1000 points. He'll be great for us if he stays injury free.

I think it'll be good for Williams to start taking on more responsibility with the long kicking game. Any halfback with an ambition to be one of the very best needs to be able to kick for field position and Williams should be aiming for that.

Him and Tommy together won't give the opposition defences a moments peace. Both can drop a shoulder and go and bury will take it right to the line.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

That's how I see it too. GW should thrive working with Tommy.


As long as he stays here...

Tommy looking good so far against the Kangaroos, terrific try-saving tackle just now. :)

Moto, he did tackle well but seemed to just move the ball along the line a lot, it was only midway late in the second half that he tried to take the line on and move about the line (not always stuck out wide on the left).

One instance in the first half made me smile, the Nz forwards moved the ball along the line to the left and Tommy passed it on to the centre, the commentator said " structured play is not the Nz way the play better with power up the middle.


The Aussies were by far the better team.
