Whilst I've always had George down as a decent half with an array of 'tricks', short kicks, picking a pass and as a running threat, I genuinely underestimated how good he is/can be when at the top of his game.

Biggest surprise for me though is his work in the defensive line, he's not shy and definitely not a prima donna.

He is the heartbeat of our side and has matured into a very good player. A constant threat with the ball and defensively tough.

He's a privilege to watch. In every game he does 3 or 4 things where you find yourself asking 'how did he do that?' and he is the antidote to the idea there are no 'off the cuff' players any more: he will always play what he sees rather than following a set pattern.

I think George will only be fully appreciated when he delivers your Holy Grail of a Grand Final win. And it could happen.

Him and Dufty together and I will believe it.

WHAT.A.PLAYER

The jinking run through the Saints edge defence and then offload to Ashton was just incredible.
The passes for both of Kings tries were spot on the money, and then there's the drop goal.
Yes - he's special..

If we are going to start a thread with a player's name as the thread title, can we also please include "[iis not injured, just an appreciation thread[/i" in parentheses next to it?

I clicked on it feeling rather apprehensive.

He’s a special player and for me the best in the league. I wouldn’t swap him for anyone else in SL. We are very lucky to have him.

he is a quality player...IF he helps us get back to a GF and IF he helps us win it.... then he enters Legend territory.
He has a great all-round skill set and a great rugby brain. Natural athlete. He isn't the finished article though... still think he can improve, especially his kicking game both long and short.

Lee who?

Yes, two more wins in 2024 and he fades into the distant past as a player.
