Canberra’s next English recruit George Williams will have the same impact on the NRL as Gareth Widdop, according to fellow countryman Thomas Burgess. Burgess will be one of seven Englishmen to take the field when South Sydney face the Raiders in Friday’s preliminary final dubbed the ‘Battle of the Brits’.

Canberra boast a total four players to have successfully transitioned from the Super League to the NRL, including 19th man and first-year forward Ryan Sutton.
