Made me smile, and does remind me (although I'm sure it's done from the best of motives and not intended to be racist or patronising at all) of those tales they do like to come out with (esp Vossy) about some poor kid from "upcountry" somewhere, who walked 500 miles barefoot from the simple shack in the Outback he called his home to ask for a trial from the Broncos (or whoever)...
"It's an incredible story! And he is such a great kid too!"
oh, and

I do believe 232 of George Williams family and friends gathered round a small black and white TV at his grandmas flat in Scholes to watch his try scoring performance at the weekend.
He doesn’t make many but Phil Clarke made a good point about Williams and why lads like him and others in his situation should feel confident about going playing in the NRL. He said that Williams had been at Wigan as a junior around the time of Brett Finch and Blake Green playing for the club and Clarke’s point was if they could leave Wigan and hold down an NRL starting spot and play some good rugby, then there was no reason why Williams should think he couldn’t do the same considering that he’s as good a player as those two (I actually think he’s a better player than either tbh).
