George Rose (born 13 March 1983) is a professional rugby league player who currently plays for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League in Australia.

His preferred position is prop because of his large size. He usually sits on the interchange bench as what can be described as an "impact player". His former club was the Sydney Roosters.

George has since become a popular player with the public. The hype surrounding him has been described as "Mark Tookey like" by NRL commentators.[citation needed]

During the round 11, 2007, match against the Melbourne Storm, Rose broke his leg in a tackle midway through the second half and missed the rest of the 2007 season.
