Quote: Grimmy "Things that suggest Gelling would be better at centre than he is as a winger

Fair enough, although I would have to say I doubt we will see Gelling playing in the centres this year unless we get hit with injuries. My main issue with your suggestion was splitting up Daz and Josh on the right.

It is far too early to make a definite assessment of him at this stage of his career and as such you are going to get massive differences in opinions on him amongst fans, from those saying he's not good enough get shut (probably the same people who have slated Richards, McIlorum, Goulding, Finch, Riddell, etc etc in the past) to those who are saying he is going to be a world beater.

After half a dozen games he has made mistakes and showed touches of class. He needs to continue to get his head down, work hard, keep learning and do everything that Wane, Harris, Bitcon ask of him and that will give him every chance of becoming a top level rugby league player, be it in the centre, on the wing or in the back row.

Quote: TrentBarrett "And I thought he was quite, does any one think he could be used as a versatile second rower? He could be similar to Joel Tomkins in making the hard meters but able to make a break or make the try line when put into clear space?'"

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.
