No need to speed off, surely? He could stay in first gear....

There was a reason I chose George's quote for my sig!!!
Not every player becomes a legend, but I seriously believe GC has done enough to warrant that status.
Thanks for everything George, enjoy retirement, we'll never forget you.

Tickover would probably be pulling away quite rapidly.

Just gets better and better doesn't he? A tremendous performance tonight from George, 34 going on 24 the way he is playing.

One more year

A great example that says don't think you can't make it if you have not made the 1st team in your late teens/early twenties - never give up.

I remember when we signed him the petition on the web site of his former club in Oz not wanting him to go. History has repeated itself in that regard and we got him for this season when we thought we would not.

IIRC he came over on a low wage and the club rightly upgraded his contract. I doubt he is set up for life after his time here but I hope he has enough behind him to have comfortable retirement from sport.

In one more year

If only!

Incredible as it sounds now, but we signed him around the same time as big Karl and the general consensus was that George was a cheap stop gap and KP was going to be the long term project.

Quite a few on here were extremely vociferous in their support for Karl Pryce.

Someone said on here a few days ago that he's off home to become an Ice Cream Man.

There will be 'hundreds and thousands' of Wigan fans sad to see him go.

Oh dear.

KP was far too long a term project as it was. Talk about wasted potential.

I think he has been the supreme professional, and a credit to himself and the game.

Superb tonight, and I respect his decision, even if it it a regrettable one for all of us. As the old saying goes, better to finish with us all wanting more, asking why don't you, rather than why didn't you.

Nah. Wigan's turning blue.

Only cause the weathers getting colder!

That's a worse joke than your first one

More accurate though.

Why isn't George ever mentioned for Man of Steel because that is what he is !

He took a knock last night and was hobbling about for a while. Can't understand why SW didn't take him off. We were completely in control and had won the game but for some reason he stayed on despite Jack Hughes on bench. We need to wrap the guy in cotton wool!!

Carmont looked as good last night as I've ever seen him play. He looks like he's easily got another season in him, and will be missed big time next season.

That happens in so many games though. He starts hobbling, sometimes quite badly, the physio comes on, gives the thumbs up and within a few minutes he's scored a try. Then he hobbles again, then the coach takes another player off rather than Carmont and he ends up finishing the game.

I understand there's listening to a player saying he's alright in early season, but in such a critical time of the year we can't afford any key players injured. He took Sam and Lockers off but kept him on, daft if you ask me

I'd be worried if he wasn't hobbling at some point during a game!
