Whatever Wello decides to do will be fine with me. There's no doubting his leadership and inspirational qualities shone through on Saturday, and like many others I was emotional watching him at full time. No one deserved the win as much as Wello.

Can't help thinking though that this is the best time to bow out.

A true leader of men by example & epitomises his effort by the way he ran in on Flower after the unsavoury incident.

I think he is very close to 500 career appearances so I think that he will give it another year in the hope that he makes this milestone & joins an elite band of warriors.

It would be a fitting end to a fantastic career.

There will be times during the 2015 season that we will be on the bones of our a**e with injuries, suspensions etc Give him another year as backup, and get him into coaching the young lads.

I disagree with you Saddened. Wellens was inspirational on the night. I'm really not sure we'd have won that final without him. Charging in on Flower. Calming the lads down right afterwards. We could have started playing desperate rugby and losing our composure the longer the game went on as the pressure of trying to beat 12 men would have been getting to the younger lads. He kept us focused.

I agree.

I'd love to see an announcement saying that he is joining the coaching staff but remains on the playing staff, to be used sparingly if we need him.

That would be my preference. He's done a grand job since returning to full back, and still has plenty to offer in terms of leadership. But I don't think there's anyone in the halves or the forwards who should be left out for him on that basis, particularly now that Thompson has come on in leaps and bounds, LMS seems to have found his position and Wilkin will be back. He generally makes me nervous when he's defending in the line. I'd give him a nice coaching job and a 1st team run out whenever Lomax is injured or needs resting.
