Go easy on him Cruncher ...... using logic is a heavy handed approach to someone of his level.

He cops a lot of stick from the people that sit near me too.

Personally I like him a lot. He brings size and energy to the team.

Charnley has been starved of the ball this year, but he was starved of it last year too - all of our moves seemed to go from right to left.

They went left because Sarginson early on offered nothing and Gelling made yards.
As I say I'm not anti Gelling but if he is the type of player who we think personifies good play and how we want to go forward get rid of speedy wingers and get a winger who can kick or compete for a high ball from a kick. Ah Van fits the bill!

So did Pat Richards.

Actually, i was never that much of a fan of Gleeson; I'd have rated Carmont a much better centre.

Totally agree with that

Sam was the icing on the cake for us but I'm not sure Gelling has the same skill that Goulding had in being able to tip the ball on. Defensively Goulding was miles better and as for his last season with us, he played carrying injuries as did Charnley for that matter that most people wouldn't have been able to get out of bed with, let alone play rugby.
