I really did wonder if we would see Gelling at all this season as the messages coming out of Wigan earlier on in the season were that he was very raw and one for the future.

Its pretty obvious from the above why they have him playing wing but my what a player we potentially have on our hands here. He looks outstanding at times granted hes made one or two mistakes but people have to realise he is a work in progress and one for the future.

A big test next week for him next week against Saints so lets not get too carried away however if he has a shocker lets not get on his back either. Hes a young lad just like Russell, King etc so we need to give him time just like we would for them.

hes an odd one, i think second row is the easy and obvious choice and perhaps the safest thing to do during our current forward crisis, but we are hardly struggling with second rows in the grand scheme of things, so spending the time shaping him into an outside back, while not going to hurt his chances of potentially ending up in the second row, seems like the most potentially rewarding option.

Lots of way OTT criticism of Gelling on this thread. Given that (a) most of our recent overseas signings have had trouble settling in and (b) he's out of position Gelling has been doing well.

He makes a lot of hard yards for a back and another big effort from him on Friday would really help make up for the missing first choice forwards.

Well said.

After watching the Bradford / Leeds game and seeing Pryce it has made be appreciate Gelling even more.

If Pryce showed some heart he would be a dangerous player but he just dies in the tackle far too easily, nobody can accuse Gelling of that.

He will prove a shrewd signing imo.

He didn't do much wrong again at the weekend. There was the opportunity he blew when Carmont wanted him back on the inside and he was pushed in to touch. I don't mind him blowing odd tries as long as he isn't letting them in and we are scoring plenty with other players.

I think Wane will persevere with him as a winger for as long as Pat is out. He obviously feels King isn't ready and would rather have Russel playing in his favoured position on loan at Hull.

Couldn't agree more
