That was only a couple of weeks ago!
Raiders lost last week. Williams went OK, though, and got another try assist.

| Jack Wighton, who the Aussies rave about, has made miles more errors than George as well as doing some realm good stuff.
George does that in SL and he gets slated.

It does look like the daggers are out for him over their too, jumping on any poor performance and down playing his good ones.
I only watched the second half this morning but the Raiders looked really sloppy, low completion rate and soft turnovers, Williams didn’t really get much field position to play with. They have some tough fixtures coming up and with performances like that they will find themselves dropping down the table fairly quickly.

His performances have been far more consistent minute to minute, half to half and game to game than Jack Wighton.
Jarrod Croker makes 2/3 different decisions and holds onto the ball from William's kick different game.
Wouldn't give Geirge more than a 7 this week, but he certainly wasnt one ofbthebpoorer performers and others (Hodgson again) made more errors and were sloppier.
If any Canberra fans are having a pop (dont read their forums) then I guess theyll breathe equivalent ofnthe armchair experts over here.

| Just been in a Canberra forum, literally hundreds of posts on there about the game.
Josh Hodgson getting loads of stick (justified IMO and agree with their generalised assessments which are that he wants a ball of his own and hes stopping early ball for both halves, over complicating the game and making some bad decisions out of dummy half and giving too many penalties/resets).
Yet no criticism of William's at all
And in fact, on a different thread they're praising him highly and although hes one of if not the lowest paid half backs they're praising him saying hes performing well.

Correct, be amazed if he plays next week. I thought George played a little bit too sideways today but didn’t have a poor game at all. Totally agree with 7/10. I am a big hodgson fan but in both games Canberra have lost now he has figured in the errors leading to try's. I thought Canberra tried to play the long game today and expected to win the game in last 20. We have seen Wigan throw them performances in previously and put it down to just pacing them self for when it matters at the business end?? Overall it was a below average performance but had croker scored that try they go on and win and also similar if Rapana had snook in.

| I didn't see this weekend's game but last week Hodgson was pretty awful. Looked clueless out of DH sometimes and getting tackled on the 5th multiple times. Defence is poor sometimes too and gets caught out.

| Agree with Jonny and Jukes; George didn't have his best game, but he was still of their better performers in a below-par side. The Raiders just aren't firing right now. How long is Bateman out for?

| Why do some supporters have to distract attention away from his performance in this weeks game by attacking other members of the Canberra team?
The topic is about Williams and how well he is playing in the NRL and will he be as inconsistent as he was playing for Wigan.
We will only know if he is a success or not in the NRL that after a bigger number of games!

But you don't apply this rule to George Burgress?

But on another thread you describe GB as struggling, and compare him to the visibly spent force that is James Graham. And this even though you've barely seen GB play in 2020, and haven't seen him take the field at all since March.

And if you start with this assumption then you've already in your own mind made your mind up as FACT that George was inconsistent with Wigan
If Inconsistent means was he MOM every week and single handedly winning games on his own every week then yes he was.
I Would argue that's complete rubbish though
Apart from a 6-8 week period in mid 2017 when he was what 21/22 and the whole team was struggling with injuries the lad has been nothing but Very good to Great for Wigan IMO for 6 seasons consistently being one of the Top try scoring half backs, top assist making half backs and as I've said on numerous occasions previously the player that other coaches/team/players watch out for & admire week in week out for the last 4/5 seasons of his time with Wigan.
A couple of people earlier in the thread stated that he was getting slated by Canberra fans and that the daggers were out for him, They may be looking at Facebook or twitter (Straight away that should limit how much notice anyone takes of those opinions) but I had a quick look and like I said on a site were "Hundreds" of people and comments were being made about the season, each of the games including this weeks loss etc and their plans for 2021 I didn't see 1 Criticism of George, in fact the complete opposite, Pretty much nothing but praise.
As I've said a number of times, he's been FAR more consistent than one of the Oz pin up boys Jack Wighton and created as much if not more than him.
If George had made half the mistakes Wighton or Hodgson (Or even Crokers Decision making over the last 2/3 weeks) he would be getting pelters and the same people/Wigan Fans that made their mind up about him 3 years ago and spent the last 2/3 seasons criticising him to protect their concrete criticism of him would be all over here telling everyone they were right.
They're not, and simply coming on a board telling everyone he's getting slaughtered over there and that he's inconsistent etc. with very little evidence just because they want to give the impression that he's struggling won't wash with me.

| 6 games for George so far and I’d say he’s been good in three, excellent in two and quiet in his last outing.
That’s about as consistent as you’d want really. I’m yet to see a player who hits 9 or 10 out of 10 every single week.

Indeed. I'd add that in the corners of the NRL virtual world that I dip into, I've seen no criticism of George either. People have been impressed by his creativity and strong defence (he missed a few tackles last week, thoughbut). Mind you, I don't think he was helped by some poor decision-making in defence from Scott alongside him. And of course, back in the days before video refs., Croker's effort would have been a try every day of the week, and George would have had another score to add to his assist list.
