George looks the goods....

Yep he is our mid season pick. Plus May

What's George position/like?

I think May has looked interesting for a couple of years. Can't be worse than Kosi.

What's George position/like?

Played as a small defender in the 2nd quarter pushing up to HF when we were able to press up and lock it inside F50.
