It appears that Sezer may make way for Williams. Will he make it? Who knows? The earlier poster re Hodgson is valid in that some take their chances while others don’t make it. My opinion is that if Sezer stays Williams may struggle to hold down a spot but I don’t care much either way. My lasting memories of him are ones of frustration rather than satisfaction.

Sadly your last sentence is how many people will feel.

I honestly believe that some folk have a blind spot where George is concerned.

There's no doubt about his talent or his physical prowess, but we've all seen him drift through matches that he could have have injected himself into a lot more.

He could have been so much better for us. I reckon we've seen him hit his straps 1 in every 3/4 games. Compare that to Hastings, who has micro-managed Salford's attack all year, and propelled them right to the top of SL by his own personal example.

I thought GW had all the tools when he first came on the scene. But we've only seen that in flashes.

Whether he'll replicate that in Australia, or quickly learn that it'll mean he gets dropped permanently, remains to be seen.

With the resources, structure, facilities and coaching available in Australia he will develop more in the off-season than he has in the last 3 years here.

Its entirely up to him how far he can go but he will need to up his game considerably (and consistently) to be a hit in the NRL

Where’s he going to play? Right sided half because Wighton plays on the left and I can’t see him being shifted for Williams.

I second this, it’s getting tiresome now. Another to add to the ignore list.

When on top form Williams is a fabulous player IMO but I do have my doubts about how he’ll go. He seems a quiet sort of lad who needs reassurance of his abilities. He’s been inconsistent for us but I’ve always wondered how much of that is to do with two issues that shouldn’t be a problem over there. One is that he’s never really had a hugely dominant pack to play on the back of and the other is that I feel he mentally switches off because the league isn’t the most intense over here.

I shall look forward to watching how he goes and I hope he’s a success but it really is a 50/50 for me. His record in big games doesn’t fill me with a lot of hope.

I don't know why anyone would even care. He's gone now. Good luck to him, he's no longer a Wigan player. End of.

It's like wondering what your ex-girlfriend is up to...

Spot on Cruncher, see you and me have similar mindset. We may not always agree but we speak our minds. Lots of people dont like to hear the truth.

Williams does not have the strength of mind to make it in the NRL. When he is faced with stiff defence and things are not going to plan, he drifts out of the game as he did V Salford when he should of stepped up and took the game by the scruff of the neck and demanded the ball.

GW has the potential to flourish in the NRL. He is sometimes 2/3 plays in front of everyone else, sees things that others don’t and tries to put people in gaps they haven’t seen or have the speed to hit. That will all change in the NRL and he should have that calibre of player around him to hit those lines and balls and keep up with his vision.

That being said he’ll also be up against far more robust defensive lines and clever defenders, a huge challenge for any HB and IMO why we get Aussie HB’s over here shining whereas they’re a dim light in the NRL.

I agree with the poster who says he needs to stop drifting in and out of games so much and be more consistent as 1 good game in 3/4 is not good enough. He also needs to stop this running sideways across the defensive line so often, it may come off every now and again but it just looks poor and as though he doesn’t know what he’s doing most of the time. Sometimes it’s best to take the tackle or pass the ball to a runner to take the tackle, get set and go again.

He has got the talent and potential, of that there is no doubt in my mind but it’s up to him to drag himself up a level or 2 and stay at that level consistently.
