| Well I like him, he makes things happen and is still improving. We've certainly struggled to deal with him on a few recent occasions.

His challenge is getting consistency under his belt.'"
Perhaps, but could you argue Gelling isn't an improvement on what we have currently at 3/4?

You just described the Gelling of 2014, but certainly not the Gelling of 2016. He's been immense. He hasn't had games this year where he's stunk the place out. The pass in the GF was more Bateman's fault for passing to Gelling too late as he was being closed down by the defence. He has very quick hands, usually can put his winger away, and has a good offload as well. He can also put a good grubber in for the winger on occasion. Plus he makes great metres, and is solid defensively. He might not be as good as some centres of the past, but generally the bar is a lot lower in SL now for centres.
I used to dread Gelling playing, now he is one of my favourite players for us, and not just for his personality.

| Quote: the flying biscuit "That's a perfect summary of Gelling. ...he's not that good at all. ..
Had Atkins produced that dreadful forward pass to Charnley in the grand final people would have needed hospitalisation on here such would be the outbursts of "he's a terrible centre that can't pass."
Scoring an interception try kissing your badge and doing a forward roll does not a great centre make......
he's a character. ....once of few in the game. That's all. ...'"
And a Grand Final winner

You've beat me to a response.
As you say today's Gelling doesn't have them stinkers anymore. He doesn't do 4 bad things for every 6 good things anymore and that consistency he was accused of lacking above has already arrived.
He's really developed in to a fabulous player and after he took some stick early in his Wigan career, it's very pleasing to see.

He has matured and is developing into a really good centre, one that would grace any team in SL.

| Could you imagine how much Lineham would have been slated if he'd dropped as many high bombs as Charnley did in the final. These people are human, not machines. They make mistakes.

He could drop a dozen for me if he came up with the match winning try

If you drop a dozen bombs against Wigan then no way in the world will you be in a position to score a winning try.

Perhaps you missed my point or misread my post the important word was "if"?

Nor if you cannot score for 62 minutes.
