The system has never helped his development. He needed a run a season or two ago to cement him in a position but we could not accomodate it. I am always impressed by his handling and ability to take on the line. For his own sake he needs enough of a run out to allow for a decision to be made on his future. I really think that we need a big wide running second row to offer us something diffrent out wide.

Pretty smug post that ShortArse. Gelling played really well today up against the Championship Champions - QLT, Misi Taulapapa, Menzies Yere, Pat Walker, Dominic Brambani and the USA World Cup player who's name I can't spell.
So why put him and Town and the Championship down with your cheap remark.

He played centre today and had 2 and 3 men on him each time he got the ball but our winger outside him had more runs today than he and other wingers have had all season. If Wigan don't know where to play him we'll have him to play centre every week.

We were similarly unhappy last season as Gelling like Leuluai was unable to go out on DR or loan and so could play in our first team or nowhere. I can only imagine that some behind the scenes discussion has been going on since to get this rule change made. Although Wigan and Leeds were the only ones I can remember publicly stating they were unhappy with it I am sure other clubs and players will have been affected too.

The rule change was mentioned by Kris Radlinski in this week's programme but there had been no mention of it being discussed or being possible previously so that is probably why it surprised most people. Radlinski said that it had changed in the past week. IIRC Shaun Wane also mentioned it briefly on BBC Radio Manchester on Thursday. It's odd that it hasn't been publicised in the way that other rule changes are though.

Great news that he can now go out on dual reg. I'm a big fan of Gelling when he plays centre, it's a big shout but I think he would prove to be the best centre at the club if he got a decent run of games

Its not an RFL rule change, there are new UK Border Agency visa regulations in place effective from beginning of April. Previously, overseas players on Tier 2 visas were only allowed to play for their main employer, therefore couldn't be DR'd but the new immigration laws mean that they can now be eligible for DR under certain circumstances.

Are there any Rumanian Rugby Players who we could sign to take advantage of this new loophole, Wigan probably would not need to pay for their flights over, they are more than likely already in this country.

The reviewers on the Workington website cannot praise him enough. He really needs a run of games though.
