Good on yah! Hope you both had a good evening.



I'd agree with that summary in general; though I'm not generous enough to say Gelling was 'terrific'.

He certainly had the best game I've seen him have, and his progression since he joined is evident; still Captain Daft at times though - probably always will be!

He's got great pace and size and is now utilising that to much greater effect.

I'm not sure he's got the rugby brain to make the most of those natural attributes, so he's probably always going to annoy the hell out of me to an extent.

Best performance by a Wigan 3/4 in 10years - no.

Best performance by A Gelling in a Wigan shirt -yes.

That's what I'd be going with next season to be honest, Smith off the bench at 9, or if things aren't clicking in the halves he can come on there

Ideal chance to try Rocky and Williams at halfback against Wakefield, this would give Smith a rest and considering the amount of rugby he has played over the last 2/3 years he looks like it would do him good.
It would give Bowen the chance of a game as well, because if we don't give him a game soon he may just up sticks and head off home early and then if Rocky gets injured we are short at fullback.

No Smith no kicker! Although that shouldn't be too much of a concern at Wakefield. When Thornley comes back we have the option of Sarginson at fullback.

Anyway, now that we are doing ok I can't understand why people want to start moving the team around. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Gelling was both outstanding and entertaining last night. I was also pleasantly interested to find out that the only players in the whole of Super League to make more meters this year than Gelling are Hardaker and Walmsley.

Correct in my view. Bowen is not finished here.
