Pilloried all season for his dodgy Warrington form, England’s red-hot George Williams insists critics never bothered him.
At times, as woeful Wolves wobbled near Super League’s drop zone, the ex-Canberra stand-off looked a pale shadow of his former self. But England coach Shaun Wane loyally stuck by his former Wigan player and he’s been brilliant in his country’s World Cup charge. Cool-headed Williams maintains the abuse never got to him.
He said: “In the nicest way possible, I don’t read too much into anything like that. When you’re doing good, you’re the best. And when you’re not going so good you’re the worst. I believe in myself. It’s great to be involved in this England group. The environment we’ve got and the journey we’re on is something special. We’re looking to do something special. But the environment the coaching staff has created is really good.”
