| I'll be chuffed to bits if George stays for another year. Easily my favourite Wigan player of the last decade and has been pretty much since he arrived. Pure class - the way he ripped St George to shreds was awesome. Quiet, understated and does his talking on the pitch.
The amount of organization he does for the team, both in defense and from dummy half, tirelessly runs the ball out back; makes breaks, scores tries (that was his 50th for Wigan on Sunday). I think that Pat might want him to stay too - it's no coincidence that when George plays well, Richards scores tries! The best centre in SL at the moment and would potentially be a huge loss if he retires.
For me, Richards and Carmont are Wigan's best centre wing partnership of the SL era

| Quote Ged Byrne's Shammy="Ged Byrne's Shammy"George has decided to sign for another 12 months, you heard it here first, I can't and won't say how I know this, but take it from me, an announcement will be made in the very near future indicating him staying on for another 12 months, all I will say is Waney had a lot to do with him changing his mind. Fantastic news.'"
will jizz myself if this is true

Yes, well dementia is a terrible illness. Distorts the rational thought process.

Better than Inga & Robinson
or
Renouf & Robinson
or
Renouf & Carney
Big call

Were renouf and Carney ever a partnership? I thought it was Renouf and Dallas. Renouf and Robinson the best attacking partnership for my money. They are two very special players.

| Renouf was a truly great player. Carmount, despite his stand out performances, is not in the same league (I refer mainly to their time in Australia as opposed for Wigan).

| As good as Renouf was.. both on our shores and down under - was he ever as good as Carmont has been for us? Maybe I might be being blinkered now because Richards is class and he and George are awesome down that wing.
Renouf was top notch though and having he and Carmont at the same stage would have been beyond world class

| An absolute class player and as much as i would love him to stay another year i think its clear to see that his body has had enough. I think another year would be to much for him, lets just hope if he doesn't stay that he goes out with a bang.

| I'm not sure his body is saying it's the end though. He gets the odd niggle but then he's had them since he come and every player will get some. He looks fitter, faster and stronger then he's ever looked this season IMO and he doesn't look like acguy that couldn't do another season.
You obviously don't want to play on too long but your a long time retired and Carmont only made his pro breakthrough late.

I agree. If George wanted to play on, I'd snatch his hand off.
If memory serves, he was one of Ian Lenagan's first signings for us, and must still be regarded as one of the best. In all his time at Wigan, I can only recall one or two matches where I felt he didn't give his best. But his second-best was usually enough to impress.
A great buy who literally seemed to come out of nowhere. Didn't IL sign him after going to watch some odd fixture like Samoa v Lebanon?

Lenagan and Lydon watched him for Samoa and said they pretty much signed him on the spot after hearing he'd been released by Newcastle.
He came as a last minute bargain buy and will leave as one of our best imports. He's been sensational and whether he goes at the end of 2011 or 2012 he's going to be sorely missed.
