In them days Rugby union was an amateur sport, it only became professional in I think it was 1989. So George was playing in the professional sport of rugby league and getting paid for playing, it was still part time and he had a regular job at the same time, but he did get paid for playing rugby league. That's why loads of union players like Tait and Jonathan Davies ect moved to League.

Now it's all changed around and there's far more money in Union, and now they can take all our best players from league.
