although I agree that George has played really well,and is improving every game.I must say that he is mostly first receiver with smith second receiver.This is when we do most damage in my eyes.They do swap and change but George is so good at beating the first defender at first receiver,then getting the ball wide.Sarge might be a good option at fullback if all the centres get back( and on form) but I can't see this happening.As for hooker,that's easy,if wane doesn't want mm to play 80 lets just get a dynamic hooker as a replacement for our pretend hookers.
For me it's really important that we get a settled half back and hooker combination,before the start of next season.Surely it's high on the priority list with everyone getting a tryout
George Williams preferred position is Scrum Half, he told me he prefers to play in the halves than playing hooker.
Ryan Hampshire's preferred position is Stand Off.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
The sooner we offload Hampshire the better, it's getting monotonous hearing all the propaganda and adoration for him day in day out when in reality he hasn't proven anything.

He should be given a try at Stand Off, his preferred position, before we start talk of unloading him. He is not, nor will he ever be a Fullback. Well that is my opinion for what it is worth.

George will be here at the weekend for the charity match so I will ask him personally what is his preference.
