Although you don't judge wingers on metres made 242m is a great effort if Barrie was right on super league full-time and it reflects the amount of work he did.

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
