See you lost all credibility with the crazy frog bit.

FACT George has at some point to be removed from cotton wool. A talented player I agree but no good at all to us if he isn't physically strong enough to play, those are the hard facts of the game.

Kear owes George nothing, it was Ferres who signed him not Kear who tends to go for the more robust player.

I hope he makes it but personally I'd get shot of him because he simply does not pay his way. Yes he does probably earn very little but then he does very little so all things are relative. At the moment Murphy looks a far better bet even if he lacks the wow factor.

And there lays the problem, you are blinkered and seeing it from only one side as friends and relatives of players tend to do.

I'm afraid in my book knowing a player even if your Gareth Ellis cousin (that's not you) gives you no greater credibility in my book.

George is an adult now, if he feels that he is not ready then he should say so. After all it is his career. Also the medical staff will have cleared him to play. As an injury prone youngster he can hardly expect to be commanding a substantial salary.

When he has played I have been impressed with his slight of foot and speed but he has a long way to go to becoming a regular. Murphy is by far the better player IMO and would be in front of George.

From what i have heard regarding George he has lost a lot of confidence and isnt quite up to Super League at the moment but if he can pull it together potential we have quality centre coming through the ranks...

I think it's more to do with heart than owt else, it's a brutal game even now and I'm not sure he has that side of the game. But yes he is a potential talent but how long do you wait? At the end of the day he is taking up a place that someone else could fill.
