Just read that article and wow...... It looks like somebody is very sensitive and likes to twist other peoples words to make himself look good...... This guy Mr hooper.....I didn't even put a capital letter at the beginning of his name as he's not a man and doesn't deserve that respect...... He just upset for no reason and isn't taking George Williams feelings nor his partners feelings in any sort of perspective at all...... George will be walking away from more money than he can realistically earn here for personal reasons....... Mr hooper why don't you come and try and be a rugby pundit over here? We've got some that are also disagreeable but you take the biscuit. You are not a pundit, you are just mean for no reason and can not back up what you've said..... You're a disgrace to Fox, but more importantly you are just a nasty person. It's ok to have a view but when you lack any respect to any fellow human and their feelings, then you are the lowest of the low.

Confirmed by Gareth Walker that Leeds have been in touch with George's agent with a serious offer (not surprising)

Noticed he’s asked Agar and it sounds like Leeds have been told Williams wants to be back in the North West and has said they’re pretty much out of the picture unless that changes.

Two horse race

Ive just finally got round to watching the 360 show. Basically in a nutshell, it was Hooper saying "mental health is something we should take seriously" then spends the next 20 minutes with Kent saying "man up and see out your contract". Pair of whoppers.

Everytime the woman on there, (Lana something?) tried to point out their wrong doings they just shouted over her and at her.

Was cringe!

Reading comments from all the Canbera fans on reddit, it seems they are firmly in the george williams camp. On a side note, according to their fans on reddit, Rushton is absolutely killing it in reserve grade over there. They all seem to want him in the first team ASAP.

The treatment of the lady presenter was just pathetic.

I'm pretty sure it was the sensationalist click bait headline that got under George's skin. The presenters skimmed over that saying you have to read the article. But irrespective of the content of the article, it was a cheap provocative tabloid headline which wasn't needed. Far too much of that in the gutter press with the sole motivation of hits and clicks.

The idea that George may be trying to manipulate the situation in order to fly home and continue picking up a wage from Canberra was ludicrous as well.

Wigan already have the best squad in SL by a mile. Signing Williams on top of that just seems unfair.....!

Dont post that on RedVee

Leeds and Warrington both distanced themselves from his signing.

Its Lara Pitt on Fox, I feel sorry for her, she just gets shouted over even though what she is saying has more merit!

It's Fox so tabloid style clickbait "journalism" that stokes the outrage is par for the course. Bash the pommie also plays into some lazy Aussie prejudices too. Looking at the comments on social media it gets a lot of likes.

If covid hadn't happened there's a good chance both Williams and Bateman would still be at Canberra. Mind you the way they seem to brief against their own players in the media isn't a good look. There are more than a few players there that aren't happy. Think Stuart has lost the dressing room - Kent and Hooper seem to be his mouthpieces.
