He's played very well in the last two games. Can't believe he's suddenly showing he does actually have a long kicking game.

You have to wonder why he’s kicked from further out than the opposition’s twenty about 5 times in 6/7 years with us don’t you?! He looked far and away in advance of Leuluai in that department on Sunday morning, so who has been holding that side of his game back here? Himself? Coaches? Tommy wanting the role?

Pretty baffling.

Williams always showed he had a good boot on him when he took conversions, it was never the power that let him down which always made me wonder why he never kicked out of hand from inside our half.
I always thought he would have made a decent place kicker but his confidence seemed to be a big issue, once he missed one he seemed to sulk a little and I don’t think he liked the responsibility, that may have been the case with long kicking? Maybe he’s happy to let someone else take the responsibility?

Not really, when you remember that Williams is younger and at his peak, while Leuluai is older and way past his peak

If both were at the same level, I know which one would be my first choice of the two.

I believe Ryan Sutton had a good come back yesterday.

Re: George Williams : Sun Jun 14, 2020 10:29 am  

Sutton did well. I thought the game was pretty poor overall though.

Spot on. Terrible game - both teams seemed scared to death.

Commentators said he'd topped 100m, oh for props who can do that.

He did run around 40 of them off drop outs I think, but he did well. It'll be interesting to see how good he could become.

The metres the props make in Oz seem incredible in comparison to ours, yet when you watch the games they seem to be making the same amount of ground as the guys in Superleague do. I’m sure there’s some favourable counting going on down under.

Looked like a lad that knows he’ll have to bust a gut to keep a place in that team. I’ve said it numerous times on here but it’s his body shape and general fitness that is helping him improve. I’m stumped why he couldn’t find the motivation to get in better shape playing at Wigan. He was a good player for us but clearly left something in reserve. I reckon Wane will pick him for England when the time comes.
