| There's no comparison between the number of games Wellens has cost us and the number he's won.

he's slowr than a tax rebate and has been lucky to be playing in a good side,
A Saints equivalent of Mick Cassidy, but even Mick was faster.

| There are very few players who have no weaknesses whatsoever. In his last four or five years Radlinski became little more than a paving stone.

Saints must have lost...same old shíte from the same old posters.
Rogues, you have been proved wrong so, so many times on this issue, I don't know why you persevere with it.

Radlinski, Briscoe and McGoldrick no thanks. Mathers isn't worth debating.

But was still better than the slug by a long way.
In reality who was the last good fullback you saw who couldn't run?
If Wellens was in an average side he would be a nobody.
Nathan Brown today sussed him out bid time.
The try just after half time was a coaches delight.
Who's defending on the wing, Wellens?
The winger was 15 meters behind him in a 30 metre race and still won.
Hudds last try Stephen Wild gave Wellens a 10 metre start in 40 and still beat him.
Any of the full backs I mentioned before would have saved those tries. Wigan with Phelps at fullback wouldn't have conceded those tries.
The Aussies last year got Wellens number.

No, I wish we had the Wellens of 2006 and 2007 - who was better than all mentioned above.
We may have won the game.

| Wellens is a highly unorthodox full back. Whilst he lacks pace he often makes up for it in areas few full backs venture.
For years he has been right up near the top of the metres gained table, carries per game table, try scoring table and tackle busts. There is no full back anywhere close to that achievement. Certainly Radlinski never was. Did he ever bust a tackle?

| Wellens days as a top fullback have gone imo. Too slow!
How many times do we get beat by a little kick thru behind our defence ? The back 3 of Wellens, Gardner ans Meli, must be the slowest in world rugby by some distance.

No. 16 in the try scorers table.
No. 15 in the metres made table.
No. 4 in the carries table.
No. 5 in the tackle busts table.
Aside from Hodgson (who is inferior to Wellens in carries and tackle busts) what other full back is hitting anywhere near these figures?

Figures don't win prizes. Wello is a problem because the rest of the side is so slow. If we had anyone in the outside backs with any semblance of pace it wouldn't matter that he's slow, but we don't.
