Well, here's a fact for you.

Like many others, I have got more important things to bother about in the present situation than just bothering about watching overrated aussie rugby games.

Perhaps that's why I was unaware that it was Williams third game.

.......ok

Aussie rugby games are anything but overrated.

The proof of how good he will be in the NRL is for him to be consistent in all games, not just on a debut!

Is that not the same for all players? In Australia if you don't play well you are not in the team.

They are the exact opposite to be truthful. I don’t understand some peoples menality towards it. It is not a bad thing that they are superior and have a better comp than us. It is just the way it is, in this country we have a far better football league than they do in Australia because its our national sport like rl is theres (its not actually I don’t think but not far off).Not sure why there is an obsession with us wanting to be as good as the NRL competition. Soon as we all realise that SL will never be as good we can move on and accept and enjoy our game for what it is then also enjoy the Aussie stuff for what it is and stop the comparisons of everything.

The same thinking is also in Football, where many supporters think that every foreign football player, especially from Brazil is world class when in reality, many are no better than many of the good young talented players from within the British Isles are just as good, but are no longer getting the same chance.

And if Aussie players are so good, why do the clubs have to recruit players from not only our country, but also Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Tonga.

Because they are cheaper, due to the not being as good...

Lots of humble pie concerning George

I was a GW fan however, he didn’t develop as much as I had hoped particularly his one dimensional kicking game.
This could be more to do with our coaching as much as GW not being sufficiently self motivated

Im delighted George is doing well and the change of scenery has obviously done him good but im not going to pretend for the last 12 months or so here he wasn't completely innefective. His tackling was still ok but as far as playmaking went. Zero
