We seem quitr keen to give Georgie an excuse but there is undoubtedly a pattern - in a Wire shirt I've never seen him take a game of magnitude by the scruff of the nexk and dominate.

The pack this year may have underperformed bur in several games they provided a platform and Williams failed to deliver.

Lomax is delivering consistently alongside an averagr HB partner and with a beat up pack.

French isn't even a half back and is playing superbly alongside an average HB partner with a workmanlike Wigan pack.

Our culture of not holding marquee playera up to the scrutiny their wages dictate they should be placed under is part of the problem.

Hard to win a game on your own against the reigning SL champions on one leg.

Very strange call out this one tbh.

Perhaps George has had enough just like Lyle Amour did and wants to go back to Wigan where his heart is.
Should let him go and get a couple of good lads in

If true, we shouldn't be playing injured players in that case. We have a squad and understudies, or at least we should have.

Can’t play behind a beaten, useless, lazy pack.

I'd be very surprised if Nathan Cleary would have made any difference to the second half of our season. Maybe bringing Burgess in sooner with the current squad would have, who knows? But we knew he wasn't available, and maybe it's better for him to start from scratch in the off-season.

GW is the best half-back on these shores, and I'm glad we're the ones who have him. Like any half-back though, he can't win on his own. See Alfie Langer 2000-2001 for reference.
