George Williams - first natural British stand off since... : Sat May 30, 2015 8:14 pm  

Been holding off saying anything in case I thought I might be jumping the gun. However, after today I think he's reinforced by opinion that he's the first natural stand off we've produced over here since, probably, Tommy Martyn.

I'm not saying there hasn't been good stand offs since him, but there really hasn't been one who has that footballing guile. Williams has it. That thing that players seem to struggle with developing over here.

Fingers crossed he can stay healthy and improve his game because he has tonnes of potential.

His decision making for his age is very good. He's a far better kicker than he is a passer but he is a great prospect, and to be fair to him, he's already a better defender than Martyn ever was

Hampshire is even better in my opinion however Wane still insists on playing him at fb rather than in his natural position. Everyone who has seen Hampshire and Williams play as a half back pairing together for the Warriors academy or England knows this except Wane!

Well, if we're comparing halfbacks, I'd say George Williams probably wins it by a nose...
