As I've said before if money were no object George would be a good acquisition but I would prefer to add the £140K to Barclays cost & get a cracking No 8 carrier.

I think he would have been a great signing had we not signed halfpenney. But as it is, we’d have a big earner as second choice in the back three if he signed, and I think the money would be much better spent on a box office first choice 8 |

I think its time now for George to move to the centre anyway. having single position threequarters isnt good for the squad.

Not known for his defensive and hard tackling skills mind.

Or indeed his workrate in general which would be a problem anywhere except wing. |

We are knocking a player that we used to love, prior to him leaving for the saints. We could be having him back at a knockdown price and have first refusal.
I don’t know whether he would want to return to us, especially after the way he departed, but if he did I’m sure he would do a great job whether at centre or on the wing. The coaches have a proven track record of improving players both offensively and defensively so any perceived frailty in his defence would be worked on and he would be signing for a region whose back line is known for playing a very exciting and attaching game so he would see plenty of ball. Plus, we have a very settled squad of players and coaches who know what’s expected of each other and who are hopefully going to stick around for a while, which can’t be underestimated. |

A legend in his own mind. We don't want him as he will disrupt a happy harmonious dressing room.
NO THANKS

I dont think another current international would benefit the squad, neither is another wing at the top of our shopping list.

The stadium may change, but the dream will remain the same!

Didn’t his father say in response to us developing George for the English clubs that we lacked ambition or similar words when he left us for the money. Thanks for that . Nice 🤔

Lets be honest, we need a player like him to add another level to our back line. When it is wet weather, our current back three cannot truck it up, and it leaves our centres to do all the work.
I think a lot of posters have had a few to many festive drinks if they do not think he will add to our team, by the way - Merry Christmas everyone.

George walks in to any team in northern hemisphere. I agree his form has dipped since joining the Saints but just look how poor they are playing. When he played for us and our style he was at his best and I'm sure if he did sign for us he could return to that form. unfortunately I can see him joint the Dragons or worse the Ospreys.
