Paddy George

He played club level rugby union (RU) for City, and representative rugby league (RL) for New Zealand (non-Test matches), and Wellington, and at club level for Newtown, as a stand-off.

The two players had been approached by a bookie and accepted money to throw the result of the match between the two teams.

George subsequently moved to Wellington and in 1908 he was part of the very first rugby league match on New Zealand soil, at the end of the 1907-08 All Golds tour.

George then represented Wellington and was part of the 1909 New Zealand tour of Australia.

[6] Paddy George played stand-off in Wellington's 33-18 victory over Auckland during the 1913 New Zealand rugby league season Inter-district competition on Saturday 27 September 1913, this would be Wellington's last victory against Auckland until 1988.
