I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there. Not quite good enough for consistent NRL appearances IMHO.

I guess it will all pan out in the fullness of time when we see our squad finalised for 2019 but you would have to say he would have been an improvement on Sarg.

With Bateman looking likely to be away as well I think he would have been a good addition to the backrow.

This however as stated above could all change once we know how our squad looks for next season.

Glad that Wigan as not gone for a returning player once they leave Wigan should be never to return hope Wigan as now found this out.

I enjoyed his time here, sad when he left, glad he is not coming back... Move on.

I made no secret of the fact that I’m a big fan of Gelling. He’s big, strong and very athletic and chews up the ground from his own half and can be very unpredictable with the ball. Yes he was prone to the odd brain fart but they became fewer as his experience grew.
I agree though that there are better centres out there but I’m not sure how many of them are realistic targets for us. As others have said, I’ll reserve judgment until we know how our squad looks next season. Good luck to Gells, top bloke.

Good post. Hopefully the club have something in the pipeline for the centre position, for example Josh Morris.

I very much doubt we will end us with a SOO representative and Aussie International, but here's hoping

Former SOO, former Aus representative. 31 years of age. Wouldn't be out of the blue to sign a former origin player would it?

At 31 the Morris lads still have 2 or 3 good seasons in them at SL level. I’ve watched plenty of NRL this season and both are still contributing a lot to their team’s performance.
I posted a list of 10 NRL players out of contract for 2019. Maybe we’ll see one at Wigan?

I think both brothers would rip up SL if they head over seas. Josh Morris who's a centre, would be a great addition to our squad.

Hayne would be a true marquee, but with pending rape charge court case hanging over his head from his time in the US, who knows what the future holds for him.

Seems an odd character to me does Hayne. All the talent in the world but his decision to try American Football probably prevented him from becoming one of the RL greats. At this stage in his career and as you say with the Court case, I can’t help wondering if he’d bother coming over even if we wanted him.

He seems to like an adventure and a challenge, NRL, NFL, Fiji RU, maybe super league would tick another box. BUT... who knows with him. All we can do is speculate.
