Never got the stick George got at wigan I like most of you have friends who follow other clubs they said they would love him at there clubs.
Had this argument with my dad quite a lot when George was still here. He eventually came to accept that he was amazingly productive at setting up tries, but that he expected more from a half back than just scoring and assisting, and George needed to be a better at organising and managing the game. Funnily enough, now Williams has been getting some rave reviews down under he's rather changed his tune!
Like you, I think his critics underestimated his value, especially considering that plenty of our rivals have had some dross in the halves over recent years (what would Leeds have given for a Williams in the last few years?!). Having said that, I suppose if you were brought up watching some of the greats who could do it all, then I can sort of understand why you might want to push back at Williams getting put in the same bracket.
