George Williams scandal?

If you knew anything about Australia then you would know that Australians make the best pies in the whole world. The variety of different kinds of quality gourmet pies available in Australia’s big cities is not replicated in Wigan or Leigh or St. Helens. The pie chain “Pie Face” even has a store open 24 hours in the centre of Sydney’s Kings Cross — such is the love of and availability of a very good pie in Australia.

Williams is well aware that even the indigestion causing, rubbish pies they sell at Galloway’s in Wigan are not available 24 hours.

If George Williams really is a pie lover then he would not be wanting to leave Australia.

Whoa there MM, don’t go all gooey eyed with ‘Pie Face’.

A couple of years ago, to great fanfare, some Petrol Stations in Adelaide started selling ‘Pie Face’ pies.  To those in the UK, Pie Face sell pies that on the advertising boards look like they have a variety of face expressions cut into the crust.  So in I went and had a look at them …. what a con.  All it is is a couple of splashes of gravy on top of the crust to represent eyes and a line of gravy to represent a smile, frown or god knows what!  My dog could create them.

At least we have Vilis Pies in South Australia …. now they are pies worth worshipping!

You know Manfred, the more you write the more I’m convinced you are an (infamous) poster over on rlfans who pretends to be French. Same writing style, same kind of topic titles, same grammatical errors.

Anyway less of the Miss Marple efforts, I’m sure this situation (George Williams not Jean Capdouze/Manfred) will unravel soon. Hopefully he can be back on the pitch whether it’s Gold Coast or Workington (both have pleasant beaches).

Workington has nothing to rival st. Bees

To be fair having been to Canberra its like the Milton Keynes of Australia I would go nuts there

Aussie at work a few years back reckoned that Canberra made Milton Keynes look like New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

The prominent Australian journalist James Hooper is now reporting on Fox Sports website, and on Twitter, that George Williams’ request for a release from Canberra probably had nothing to do with Williams being homesick for England. Instead, according to Hooper, Williams appears to want to play for an NRL club that is close to beaches. Hooper adds that Williams is now holidaying on the Queensland Gold Coast. 

If this is true, it gives a new perspective to Canberra’s decision to terminate Williams contract with them immediately.  If true, it would also show an appalling character defect by Williams. He signed a contract, for which he is being paid big money, and in the course of which Canberra paid a large transfer fee to Wigan. Now, it is being alleged, Williams wants to renege on his contract so that he can live closer to beaches! 

This scenario outlined is an example of the kind of behavior which brings British people into disrepute in Australia.

 

Even if that’s the absolute truth, it’s nothing near a ‘scandal’. It’s just life and the increased risk involved with bringing people in from the other side of the world. It’s happened in England where players/partners haven’t settled. 

Addo-Carr is even willing to go to the Bulldogs to be back in Sydney!

Can we get the trade descriptions people in here please the misuse of the word scandal is scandalous.

I can think of half a dozen Aussies who have been allowed to return home due to "family reasons" in the past 10 years and break their contracts. Usually when they realise SL isn't an easy ride to earn a very lucrative last payday and they have to get stuck in and perform.

We in the UK are usually supportive of these players when they say they need to leave- something that doesn't seem to extend when its the other way round - probably says more about Aussie culture than it does about the likes of George Williams.

Australian pies are very, very good, NZ are even better.

I've heard that George prefers Pound Bakery - I do too.
