Went to school with them and sat next to Toby! Both were always head and shoulders above everyone else. A crime we never picked them up. Although, off the top of my head they were fartown fans when I was a kid (actually, nobody was. I think it was just me and one other girl in my year in the whole school...)

His wife is the rugby league fan- she watched the game before they were married. He got involved via sponsorship and I guess like many of us do after being introduced to the sport became a fan.

a good piece on ken davy here recently, if you read it all it will give you a few pointers on how he got involved

started with a 6 figure sum to the club as a donation as they were in dire straights, he wanted to remain anonymous too!

As usual jools you always know best however let me tell you the facts of George leaving, he was 19 not 17, last year of Accademy, he felt he had proved himself more than pete aspinall, Jack miller, Liam Johnson, Tyler Dickensian who had been given full time contracts, he went to Paul Anderson and asked what he needed to do to get a full time deal and Anderson said he was lazy and wasn't in his plans, Toby was already at Warrington after pete riding said he wasn't worth a contract, Warrington had wanted George when he was 16 but he signed with giants, they said the would sign him but wouldn't pay the 10k fee, thewlis insisted they get the money so their dad Andy paid it to get George out of the club as be believed George would make it. Riding left soon after to become head of youth at castleford

Waste of time trying to tell some people on here the facts. They will still tell you black is white.

Dickenson and Liam Johnson- only signed up in 2014. By that time both King brothers were already at Warrington- tell me more "facts" ....
Still doesn't change the fact that we simply don't have the money in Our academy to develop all the youngsters and give all our youngsters professional terms. Sad but true. our scouts are volunteers who dont get paid. For whatever reason they weren't given contracts. We have Josh Johnson and Nathan Mason of a similar age who WERE given contracts- so maybe it's more about looking at what they already had and making a choice based On what they need. Dickinson and Liam Johnson are both younger than George and so will be coming through at a different time.

Here's another fact for you, Liam and Tyler got full time deals as first years, and we're year below George, josh Johnson natty mason, pete aspinall and Jack Miller were all year above George and got full time deals, only person in George's year who went full time was jake Connor, George played with both Tyler and Liam while in the academy he left in 2015 and finished the last few months of u19's at Warrington, if you want to dispute it then please do but it wasn't down to money and it wasn't down to scouting it was down to two people not wanting him at the club

Correction Liam is 2 years below George, Tyler was same year as Toby

Think you've lost a few years of your life somewhere dj hudds. George and Toby were promoted to WARRINGTONS full time squad early in 2014 after serving in their academy- so he couldn't have left Giants in 2015. More facts?
