Born and bred in Brisbane, George moved to his ancestral homeland, specifically Athens, in 2008.

George also provides unique insight into the famous ‘Midnight Cup Final’, played during a difficult period of administrative politics for the sport in Greece. He recalls the key challenges to Greece men qualifying for 2021 World Cup, including a nail-biting win in Ukraine. Finally, George defines what success will look like for him for Greek RL from the 2021 World Cup.
