Carmont is the sort of signing that all clubs want. He didn't come with any great reputation (that I'm aware of) but has been a great club man for Wigan, and I'd imagine a top influence for the young kids. As a saints fan I'll be pleased that he is retiring.

It's been a pleasure to watch a fine exponant of the centres art.... Will be missed, but i'm sure we all wish him all the very best...

Ahhh man that's a real shame, he looks like he could play till he's 40. Time to go out on a high George!

Guys like Tommy Leuluai and George Carmont deserve nothing more then to go out as grand final winners.

I just hope the team can reach a level that could make that possible.

Absolute crap. Robbed a living for 5 years.






Sorry...........are we talking about the George Carmont that has been named the best centre in Suoer League for 5 years?



THANK YOU GEORGE. ONE MORE YEAR!!!!!!

As others have said, one of the best signings we've made in recent history. I really can't see why he's retiring as he just gets better year on year and this season has been no exception. I found myself defending him to a Saints fan on these very boards earlier in the season. Seems kinda funny now, but that's (some) Saints fans for you!

he is deffo going home...

thanks for the effort GC...

A final big push.

It's been an absolute privilege watching him in a Wigan shirt.

Sheer class.

It says on the Sky Sports website he is going back to Auckland with his five children and Mrs (five jeez). However on Twitter Andy Wilson said he was going back to Newcastle to run a chicken farm.

Just to say George was signed without a massive fanfare but he has been probably the best signing in Superleague for any team in the last 5 years. Let's hope that we send him and the other lads, Tommy,Brett and Geoff off with a GF win....

hi im a salford fan and was just reading on bbc, he is retiring and found this link when he first signed at wigan, how very wrong were these peoples views, i genuinely believe carmont has been the best centre in super league for a while now and gutted hes retiring as he has been an absolute pleasure for an oppositon fan to watch, excellent player who will be missed. have a read of these it will make you laugh and realise how little some supporters know about rugby lol. www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F8809427?t ... 49&show=50

I think that was more tongue in cheek from Andy Wilson than anything else.

The biggest compliment I can think to pay Carmont is that over the years he's got rid of this 'bargain buy' tag and has turned that in to a tag of 'brilliant buy' or 'Ian Lenagans best ever signing' or 'One of Wigans best ever superleague signings' and so on which just goes to show how well this guy has played and he's done it over a sustained period of time.

He came as a cheap option we'd thought would be here for a year or two and leaves as a club legend that would have been worth any wages we could have afforded for him.

Terrific player and above anything I hope we can win the GF for him(and Leuluai).
