IMO the best value for money signing of the SL era, gives nothing but 100% every game, classy with ball in hand and a solid hard working defender. A lot of what Pat Richards has done at Wigan, including winning man of steel is all down to George, it must be a dream to play on the wing outside him. Id love him to do another year, impossible to replace.

Id love him to stay for an extra year, but hes has been fantastic for us, id like him to retire on the top, he deserves it.

Whilst I'll miss him and hope he signs for another year, with George, Hoffman and Finch rumoured to be leaving, what an opportunity to have a all British Superleague champions squad.

Pat can claim he's Irish and played most of his pro career at Wigan. Thats leaves Lima and he's banned so often, we should look a deregistering him every few weeks.

When he scores at home they should play “Please Don’t Go” by KWS (Couldn’t remember who sang it, had to look it up online).

George just oozes class, simples. Why was Pat top try scorer last year? A lot of it (not all) was down to GC.

If that massive bandage appears on his thigh again this season then fair do’s let him retire, otherwise c’mon GC give us one more year.

I have to agree just 1 more year George. You will be greatly missed, solid performer every year we have had him IMO.

awww loving this thread!!!

He really had been one of our best signings and a real unsung hero, I hope this makes a difference but doubt it; the lad knows how much his body can take and when to give in

Love to seem him stay 'within' the club though as Deacon is doing

I think the dissapointing thing that we wont be able to get anyone of a similar quality without paying big money, which we currently dont have avaliable unless hoffman and a couple of others leave

Please don't go, please don't go
Please don't go, please don't go

Please don't go, please don't go
Please don't go, don't go

Don't go

Please don't go, please don't go
Please don't go, please don't go

[size=150George we love you so
And we, we want you to know
That were gonna miss your love
The minute you walk out that door[/size
Please don't go, don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go, don't go
I'm begging you to stay
Please don't go

Personally I think George Osbourne has been in touch with IL scrieking about the countries huge financial deficit and one way of vastly reducing it is by stopping shelling out every week for Carmonts family allowance.

To the tune of Bloc Party's Two More Years:

In two more years, now Georgie, will see another view
Such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
We've become crueller in your presence

We say: "be brave, cos retirement's the wrong way"
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

One more year, only one more year
One more year, only one more year
One more year so hold on
x2

I hope GC sees this and realises how much the people of wigan love him!

Come on George - Your a long time retired - dont go now and then regret it.

George is faster this season than ive ever seen him and looks far less injury prone than the last couple of years - That doesnt look like he's ready for retiring to me.

If hes wavering then the club should offer him a contract for next season to play 'x' number of games. Could suit everyone - George doesnt overexert himself / gets a last glory year / fans are happy / and it gives us time for one of the young lads to get up to speed.

Sign him to play 12/15 games next year? Let him play in the bigger games where his talents will be needed, He goes out on a high with memorys of big nights against St Helens / Wire / Leeds / Huddersfield / Hull etc and give one of the young uns chance to learn their trade against your Salfords / Castlefords / Celtics / Londons etc.

As good as anything out there, would like to think the club will be sitting him down at some point.
