| You can't say the lad lacks effort can you?
Thought he really put himself about in a beaten team tonight and really took some stopping against an often dominant Leeds defence.
Deserves some real game time now imo.

| Best player in a well-beaten team. Showed our forwards how to play, but lacks out and out pace...

| Wane needs to stop messing around and let him play left centre for an extended period. His footwork is brilliant at times.

| Yep. Gelling needs to play left centre and Sarginson needs to play wing.
Sarginson has the pace Gelling lacks for the wing, and Gelling has the defence Sarginson lacks at centre.
But Gelling was very good tonight. My grandad is one of his biggest critics, and even he said the lad had a fair game tonight.

| gelling looked by far your best back tonight.everytime he got the ball he sèemed to make good yards and made a couple of breaks.have to admit I thought he was a mug and I was glad to see his name on team sheet.should get more game time on back of that performance though.

| A great effort from Gelling while the rest of the side, bar McIlorum, were incredibly disappointing. Once again though he showed that he is not a winger and never will be. His lack of pace would have been embarrassing for a winger. He's a centre based on his performances at Wigan and given Sarginson's dreadful defence tonight he should be given some more games there.
I can see why Wane made the switch - Sarginson isn't good dealing with cross field kicks and would have been targeted with Hall on that side, but in the end it didn't make much of a difference.

I have been a critic of Gelling too, as was my late Dad, but he offered some fight in tonights game.

| Why not try Gelling in the second row with Bateman at centre ? We lacked size in the second row last night

| Some numpty at the side of me criticised him all night for showing a lack of pace that a winger should be embarrassed of. He seemed to ignore the fact that the blokes never a winger (and so does Wane come to think of it).
He has to play centre next week. Sarginson isn't looking for his wingman at all and can do exactly the job he did last night from the wing, taking people on with his footwork.

| He was awesome last night. Our best player by miles, with regards to people saying play him at centre, he played at centre vs Hunslet and was terrible. I would try him at second row. If he is going to make it at Wigan that is where it will be.

As a very mobile second row who can tackle hard and make ground would be my view too...

| NZ Warriors fans who'd watched him for the Vulcans thought he was definitely a second row.

I would go with that if he shows the same desire as last night he could be a revelation in the 2nd Row

| One thing is for sure he's not a winger. Its starting to get really frustrating watching him play there time and time again. It just adds fuel to those who aren't willing to give him a chance.
The debate between or 2nd row is an interesting one. I still think he has a lot to offer at as his power draws defenders to him and he's got that ability to look for the pass and put his winger in space.
I like the idea of him at 2nd row as well. He could easily turn into a bustling Hock type player who size and mobility out wide has devastating potential.
We are struggling at and we are struggling at 2nd row imo. Why he's not been given a run of games in either of those spots is beyond me.
