What an absolute pleasure it has been to watch this man play. Great guy on and off the field, certainly in our top 5 signings in the summer era and one of the best centres to play in SL if you ask me.

Gutted we'll only get to watch him play a couple more times and I hope he gets a massive send off - even though he doesn't like the limelight - he deserves it.

In my top 5 favourite Wigan players of all time. (I'm 23)

Good, honest hard working classy centre, and a great guy. Il be gutted when he goes

people keep saying we will miss so and so but this is the man we will miss badly ,just pure class-1 more year please george.

Is he 100% going? Unless he wants to concentrate on some other kind of work he would be daft to retire yet.

He has to retire when he is ready atm he looks good for another season. But have a feeling he is going to retire.

Solid as a rock with a calm, cool head. I was hoping that he would stay a bit longer as well but it's not looking that way sadly

IL's best signing by far. Will be missed.

Absolute quality player. Guttes he's going. I'd say he has at least another year in him. I've been hoping he'll stay another year all season but can't see it now.

Although an awesome player I would rather him retire this year and have the good memories instead of having one more year and spoiling all the good memories that he has brought us.

Only George will know whats best . A wonderful player on the pitch and a complete gemleman off it .

Thank you George .

He is definitely leaving. It was confirmed by the man himself last night at the Riversiders End of Season Dinner. A special presentation was made to him and a glowing tribute to him from Shaun Wane. Same, by the way, for Finchy, Tommy and Jeff. They will all be missed.

Solid as a rock.

Oh well back to mid table mediocrity next season, it's been a pleasure to watch you play George, probably the best SL signing Wigan have made

Yes, maybe we'll finish 5th and go on to win the Grand Final...............surely though, that cant happen ?????

Well said and i agree entirely.

Top class on and off the field and will be missed.

Carmont is the sort of signing that all clubs want. He didn't come with any great reputation (that I'm aware of) but has been a great club man for Wigan, and I'd imagine a top influence for the young kids. As a saints fan I'll be pleased that he is retiring.

It's been a pleasure to watch a fine exponant of the centres art.... Will be missed, but i'm sure we all wish him all the very best...

Ahhh man that's a real shame, he looks like he could play till he's 40. Time to go out on a high George!

Guys like Tommy Leuluai and George Carmont deserve nothing more then to go out as grand final winners.

I just hope the team can reach a level that could make that possible.

Absolute crap. Robbed a living for 5 years.






Sorry...........are we talking about the George Carmont that has been named the best centre in Suoer League for 5 years?



THANK YOU GEORGE. ONE MORE YEAR!!!!!!

As others have said, one of the best signings we've made in recent history. I really can't see why he's retiring as he just gets better year on year and this season has been no exception. I found myself defending him to a Saints fan on these very boards earlier in the season. Seems kinda funny now, but that's (some) Saints fans for you!

he is deffo going home...

thanks for the effort GC...

A final big push.

It's been an absolute privilege watching him in a Wigan shirt.

Sheer class.

It says on the Sky Sports website he is going back to Auckland with his five children and Mrs (five jeez). However on Twitter Andy Wilson said he was going back to Newcastle to run a chicken farm.

Just to say George was signed without a massive fanfare but he has been probably the best signing in Superleague for any team in the last 5 years. Let's hope that we send him and the other lads, Tommy,Brett and Geoff off with a GF win....
