Gelling needs to be told to revert back to last years style of play.
I think he is getting a little over confident after a prolonged period in the 1st team. I rate Gelling and see him as our 2nd best centre behind Sarginson when he plays safe rugby. All Gelling needs to do to impress is continue with his relentless carries and metre making whilst only passing the ball when an overlap has been created. Flick passes and dangerous offloads are fine when in the opposition 20 but nowhere else. Him doing that, Sarg on the other side being more fancy and our set plays is more than enough of an attacking threat.
I like the idea of adding more offloads to our game but they need to be at the correct time, and worth the risk. If its an obvious offload that is fair enough but other than that it should be in the opposition half. At times in these first two games we have been forcing an offload with 3/4 defenders around the ball carrier, and also when we haven't had much of the ball or territory for a reasonable period. O'Loughlin and Gelling being the main culprits IMO.
Quote: MR FRISK "If Miles and Offiah where the centre/winger partnership on Friday Wigan would have knocked at least 40 points on Friday.
Grannie/Grandad/Testicles!
If last Friday had been Gene Miles or Martin Offiah's second game at the club they'd have been lucky to score four points never mind forty.
In their first few game both were distinctly mediocre.
We all know how good they became but let's not kid ourselves they both had blinders from match one or two because they didn't.
