Luke George? Really?

My only issue with Luke George at the moment I was imagining him in a Bulls shirt and I began to remember Rikki Sheriffe. I think he needs a new hairstyle before pulling on a Bulls shirt!!

If the Giants don't think he's good enough to have in reserve to Murphy & McGillvary, he's clearly lacking something.

Last night did him no favours. Would have expected him to expend every last bit of effort & leave the field exhausted in trying to impress his new club's fans.

You are right and do ya know what he is lacking?

He is lacking being a winger in the team that are the League Leaders, yup that's what he is lacking.

He wasn't gonna get in the Giants team so good move for him, the better of the 2 you have got from is though is Fergy, by a country mile, really really sorry to see this fella go but we couldn't match what Bradford are gonna pay him ;-0(

Sounds like a big improvement on Foster then.

Re: Luke George : Mon Sep 09, 2013 6:40 pm  

I've seen enough of him over the years to be content with his signing.

May I just offer a comparison to George's performance on Saturday with that of Foster on his nightmare appearance for Saints at Odsal last year.

Re: Luke George : Mon Sep 09, 2013 8:13 pm  

Luke George is a good Super League winger, he is a strike weapon, very dangerous if you give him a bit of space and will do a fair bit more postive than he gives up defensively where.

He just is not a centre though he has played a few matches there for Giants, Wakey and on loan at HKR and can fill in there at a push, Keith Lulia demonstrated on Saturday that as a centre Luke will struggle against good centres if played there. He is a good winger but only an emergency centre.

Re: Luke George : Mon Sep 09, 2013 8:46 pm  

I honestly don't think FC has any intention of playing him in the centres.
Our centres next season will be Blythe, Purtell, Lulia's replacement and (as a last resort) Gaskell.

Re: Luke George : Tue Sep 10, 2013 1:10 pm  

I think he will be a decent winger. My problem with Kear is that he doesn't have that instant attack thought in his head. He hessitates and then runs sideways. I like to see wingers catch the ball and go for it in an instant before the defence have time to think. Foster is better at that as he does try and beat men on the wing. Kear to me is the one that needs to look over his shoulder now.

Re: Luke George : Tue Sep 10, 2013 1:26 pm  

I think that's just come from opposition teams watching him on their video work, so they employ a quicker umbrella defence.

It certainly seems to me that this has changed over the last few home games and he's been forced to do more crab running, much to the annoyance of the fans.
