George will decide what's best for him and his family. He knows you're a long time retired, and will know what his body can handle. Fair to say he won't go on and play for anyone else, and Wigan will be his last club.

if you watch his interview on the superleague website he admits he's glad he didnt retire at the end of last season and that he's just taking it game by game, but if you ask me he'd be up for another year especially if he finishes the season strong.

Quote: ChrisA "Still the best centre in the league. If he was 26 and was supposed to sign for an NRL club but we managed to get him to stay for another year we'd be made up, what's the difference between that and retiring if the guy is still easily fit enough to play at the very top level to the highest standard?

Well worth another deal if we can convince him. Fans and players lOve him, I bet he's a coaches dream to have around also and as said we are losing enough quality this year.'"


Has been for a long time. So consistant since 2008.

One of the best things Noble did in his time here was signing Carmont.

Quote: MadDogg "I agree.

He did the club a big favour by playing on this year, let him retire in peace.'"


Would really fear for George's long time health if he playes on.

The man is different class as a player and a person , clever enough to do the right thing.

Saw enough ex players over the Magic weekend who can now hardly walk in a straight line because they played too long and through the pain barrier . Hate that to happen to George .

He's a massively underrated player. I got into a debate recently with morons on the Saints board who were arguing that he isn't, and has never been, very good. Newlove had been mentioned earlier in the thread and they went into meltdown when I pointed out that Newlove had never reached the heights Carmont did last season (and what a season it was from George - his WCC and Exiles performances amongst others will be remembered by Wigan fans for many, many years). The lack of respect shown to George by many non-Wigan fans is appalling, but is I suppose an indication of the fear and hatred that Wigan continue to inspire!

I hope George continues to prove them wrong. After a slow (by his own standards) start to 2012 Carmont now appears to be finding top class form again, in the last few matches there have been real indications that he may be getting near to his 2011 form again. His 80m+ run at the Etihad showed that he still has real pace (how the Slug must wish he was so lucky, not that the Mollusc was ever as fast as George is now!).

If at the end of this season he wants to carry on playing and thinks he can do so at top level then I would love to see Carmont in the Cherry and White in 2013.

He said he'll take it year by year in his interview so we just need to leave it to him.

What he wants he should get.

What? He isn't going to play on because the fans mess about on an internet forum with a thread like this. A few dozen (if that) fans will have zero influence on George.

If it were me I'd take it as a compliment and do whatever I was going to to do anyway.

If, and that is a big if, George decides he wants to continue his career at Wigan even in a reduced playing capacity then that is his decision alone. The club will then decide whether he will be an asset to the playing staff ( forgone conclusion imo that he would be) and offer him a contract that suits both parties.

Let George enjoy this season and we as fans enjoy watching him.

As I mentioned, if we rotated him with Gelling and Thornley his body could get the rest it needs to allow him to play the way he is now. Earlier this season he was out with a broken thumb and the 4 weeks rest seems to have invigorated him and he's playing some fantastic rugby at the moment. One more year George

If there was a chance that George could be staying I really don't think we would have signed Thornley??

Dont think thats anything to do with it really. I think if anything Thornley learning off George for another year would be ideal.

Won't stay but i'd wish he did. Those 6/7 games he missed at the start of the season were really beneficial imo
