George Williams has had a blinder for Wigan Raiders in the NRL match against Melbourne. Match commentators Cronk and Alexander drooling about him.

Man of the match in my opinion.

2 assists, 2 try saving efforts and a massive hit on the fullback.

I don’t understand why some doubt he will succeed in the NRL.

For me his style of play is much more suited to the NRL and it’s intensity. I think his game will kick on to the next level.

George who??

He was absolutely quality!

He pretty much always has been

It’ll be another Bateman situation that fans from other teams all of a sudden rate them since they aren’t wearing cherry and white anymore

Dont just blame other teams fans
Theres been enough Wigan fans on his back for 2/3 years!!!

And it started when?
He had the audacity to get a pay rise (Marquee) after being MOM in a WCC andnthen year after being part of another GF winning team.

How dare he!!!

Every week on Sky, coaches, past players, current players constantly picked George out as the player they feared/respected etc.
Yet our own experts were rubbishing him over and over again, because they wanted to be proved right more than hope the lad succeeded

WILLIAMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I've got to add never done anything once he signed the new contract

Just shows how good he is when playing with a pack of forwards that can make yards. Always been a class act, just hard having to do most of it on your own playing with a pack that couldn’t make yards like when he was with us.

There is no question in my mind he is a quality player but I agree with this comment. Once he got marquee his general form dipped substantially. That’s what got fans backs up, the running around like a headless chicken, the infamous hop, skip, dummy and a jump. Don’t get me wrong I like creativity and sometimes when it came off it was a thing of magic but when it didn’t it was diabolical.

I hope he gets better and better in the NRL. I really do, I’d love nothing more for him especially given the lack of success British backs have generally had over there. He is a far better HB option for GB/England than Widdop IMO.

Had a little look on the Raiders fans forum and none of their fans had him as MOM....that’s a tough crowd! They all had him top 3 and maybe I’m bias but I thought he was easily their best. A lot had Hodgson as MOM and whilst I thought he was ok, I didn’t think he was anything like that. They seem to love him over there but he had plenty of the things that frustrate me watching him for England on show today.
