Jamie George has urged the Rugby neube Football Union to give England players a voice when devising the ‘hybrid contracts’ that are expected to be signed off by the end of the year neube
The RFU wants to tie 25 players to the contracts that will give head coach Steve Borthwick greater control over frontline members of his squad, who would also continue to be employed by their clubs neube
The deals would help keep England stars in the Gallagher Premiership, but while George applauds the increased collaboration neube between club and country, he insists players should be consulted before they are formalised neube
“We just need a bit more clarity around them neube
It is hard for us because you hear the whispers and you might get excited about it, but at the same time we have to focus on the job at hand,” the Saracens hooker said neube
“What I do have is a huge confidence in Steve to make sure we get this right if those central contracts or playing contracts do come in neube
“It could be a great thing for English rugby, but it has to be done right neube
Steve will do it in the absolute right way that does not take away from the club game because that’s something that means a lot to me neube
“Hopefully there will be plenty of player influence as well because there are a lot of very intelligent guys in this changing room who have a lot of things to say and care a huge amount about the English game and its development neube
“You can see that in the way that a lot of the older guys are speaking about the future of this team and hopefully the RFU use us and we will be heavily involved in those conversations neube
”All conversations will take against the positive backdrop of England’s encouraging performance at the World Cup, which saw them finish third after toppling Argentina in the bronze final neube
An ugly win was secured six days after their agonising semi-final defeat by South Africa – a result that caused George even greater anguish than losing in the 2019 final to the same opponents neube
“This week has actually been a really difficult week – probably the hardest week of my career neube
I was just sat in my hotel room hitting waves of sadness,” George said neube
“I’m still gutted about last week if I’m completely honest and that is going to take a long time for me to get over neube
“To be able to come away with a medal is really important neube
It’s really important for this team, it was really important to send off some absolute legends of the game in the right way neube
“But it was also important to send a message to the English public that we will still fight for everything neube
“It wasn’t pretty, it was probably one of the scrappiest games I’ve been a part of neube
But we are coming away with a medal neube
“It’s not the colour we wanted and that will give us huge inspiration going into the Six Nations neube
“Our foundations are strong neube
We’ve shown that we can fight and we can put our best foot forward against the best teams in the world neube
