Unfortunately, I think this is a bit of an excuse too.
There've been many times in recent years during the George Williams era when we've been in the attack zone but have looked unable to score.
I don't disagree that our pack has long been due a drastic overhaul. But we make it to the opposition's line from time to time, and yet the perception fans have had is that we still lack cutting edge even then. And that is down to our pivots. George and his infamous 'Hail Mary ball' has been a particular problem here.
Anyway, the lad has now gone. The proof of whether he's overrated or has simply been used incorrectly will be in what happens in the NRL. I'll be watching with interest. I hope, for GB's sake, that he does a John Bateman and finds a comfortable home at the highest level, rather than a Ryan Hall and be found out as someone who was a big (but lazy) fish in a small pond.
