Great to have George on board for another year (at least).

In George and Gleeson Wigan must have the best centre combination in the SL - which is one of the reasons our wingers scored so many tries last season ( I know a lot came through Sam and Lockers too).

With our improved halves and pack things should be even better next season!

I anticipate this will be his last season, and I agree he has been an outstanding overseas signing. If they all came with the same work ethic as him there would be no issues with overseas players.

I hope he can go out on a high as a 2 time SL Chapmion, Challenge Cup winner and World Club Championship, to probably round off his Wigan career.

Excellent signing - George has been a great servant to the club. Glad he will be here another year

Good news.

best wigan centre in super league behind renouf and connolly?

What an inspirational signing georgey has been.

just shows we really are a long way behind nrl when we can say carmont is one of best centres in superleague. When he was so average down under and played on wing. Its time wigan played charnley on regular basis or even marsh. We will end up losing these players to union.

Massive opportunity for Darrell Goulding, Josh Charnley and Stefan Marsh to stake a claim for a starting centre spot for 2012.

Great news. He may be getting on but there's not another centre pairing in the league that I'd swap George and Martin for.



Hopefully and I'm sure it's already in Madge's mind that who over is to take over from George in 2012 should be eased in this year. It's no good his replacement hardly playing any time at centre this year to be only planted there in 2012 with out having much experience of the position.

I'm guessing Gleeson will possibly retire as well at the end of 2012 meaning we'll be replacing him just a year after Carmont. Hear's hoping we get it right on both occasions.

George Carmont only tured pro at Newcastle at aged 24 and came to Wigan three/four years later. He barely had time to make a name for himself.

It's not just Wigan supporters who rate him. This is what Newcastle supporters did when they found out his contract wasn't being renewed for 2008http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q

I think Charnley will be the man to step up and replace Carmont in 2012 but it would be daft not to keep him for now, he's doing a great job.

I was thinking the same myself.

I do think however that all three need to be playing regular first team SL footy. Goulding already has this but Marsh and Charnley can't be stuck in the 21's and then be expected to slip into Carmonts shoes.

A season at Hull KR for Charnley would be perfect IMO.

Newcastle were not exactly cracking any pots though were they. Im not having a go at carmont i like him hes value for money at wigan and was at newcastle. I just want to see some outside backs come though for england and there being held back charnley showed at hull kr he has loads of potential and to me looked as good as anyone in centres in superleague already. Rugby League as a game going to go from bad to worse if we cant improve it international wise. It is no good saying next year all time we have got to do something now.

One of our most consistant players. Pat being MOS and one of our best players has alot to do with this guy. Top player.

Charnley should go on loan to KR for a season, that would be great!

I think Carmont will be rested for quite a few games next season, we will probably see a few new faces in his regular centre spot.

I totally agree with you when wanting to promote youngsters but we must look at the current situation. Carmont has had another impressive year in a Championship winning side whilst partnering the competitions top try scorer and Man of Steel. Plus, he's only signed one more year which is expected to be his last and this will allow us bring through a replacement.

Would you honestly not resign Carmont and replace him directly with Charnley/Marsh?
