Conor George

[Pete Petersen]

Anyone ever read this fella? Is he supposed to be the Echo's chief rugby writer, because he doesn't seem to have a clue? In his latest offering, he says that Stephen Jones is playing with the Ospreys. I'd love to dismiss it as an April fools joke but he seems to come out with this kind of stuff on a regular basis.

billy george's son. he's a soccer head really. probably shunted into rugby cos the echo have enough soccer writers but no rugby writers

[Pete Petersen]

Fair enough. You wouldn't think that from the way he writes though, kind of pompous or something. Fairly lazy from the Echo's side of things, surely there's plenty of rugby writers around. Doesn't the fella Newman work for them too? He's good enough. I'm not familiar with Billy George by the way, is he in the boardroom there or something?

He also did tv commentary in one world cup and seemed destined to make a career for himself thereafter but it never happened.
