Quote: Geoff "By structures, I mean things like defensive patterns, attacking moves, support play and so on. I do agree that the quality of opposition isn't as good in the reserves, which is why players are sent out on loan/dual reg...maybe that's an option for him?
To be clear, I'm definitely not saying write him off, I do think he's going to be a great asset for us in the near future, I just think he's better brushing up on his skills somewhere other than the first team. At present both King and Russell have better handling and positional attributes than he does, though I do concede they aren't as good in the air.'"
And I say, at present, both these players would be punished far more defensively and on kicks than Gelling.
With a bit of luck he'd be sat on 6/7/8 tries after the same amount of games (And he'd be the New Shaun Ainscough) whilst defensively I don't remember him doing too much wrong?
The "Teams" playing well, he's contributing in many ways (Whilst making a few dodgy decisions/errors 10/20 mktrs from the opposing line which is far betther than the other way round IMO).
