Gelling lives with the Leuluai brothers so i'd assume if Gelling is turning up late then so is Tommy, cant see it being true.

I still think goulding must be ahead of him. Darrell was very good yesterday, you could see that he was playing for his place and he was strong defensively as well as having a hand in russells try.

Goulding got huge backing from Wane in the press today. Wane said all he's ever needed is to be backed and he's going to back him through thick and think.

Goulding must feel 10 ft tall after that.

All the reports I've read in papers today have him down as man of the match.

Good work from Wane, Goulding will no doubt pull his tripe out after hearing his manager support him.
It's been mentioned before on here that Goulding will always 'do a job' but can he perform on the big stage? I hope so.

As for Gelling, it would be very disappointing, if true. We are giving the guy a chance to get back on his feet
and he repays us with in-discipline.

I have never understood the posters who get on Goulding's back, he has always played consistently well in he has never had a bad run of from in the first team. I for one hope he has an awesome 2012 season and cements his spot in the starting 13 as for Gelling if the rumours are true it would be massively disappointing for him to treat the club this way after we transferred him over to the UK and give him a shot at the biggest team in Super League.

All just rumours about gelling

I have always rated Goulding. Solid player imo. The bizzare thing is he is still only 23.......... He seems to have been around forever!

I'm sorry but I really can't believe Gelling is turning up late for training. If Waney was standing at the gate, waiting for you, would you want to turn up late?!

Even for a man who takes a dump on a table, he can't be that mental!

Superb.

Does anyone seriously think that Wane would pick Gelling if he was turning up late for training?

Not to say he doesn't get undue criticism, but he couldn't catch a cold on the wing at the start of last season, a bad run of form that contributed to him being (fairly IMO) dropped. His defence at centre is often ropey too. Still I hope his performance in the friendly is a sign of things to come. Can't believe he's only 23!

To be fair he only dropped about 3 kicks, one against Hull FC early on and two against Catalan in a game where he went off through injury at half time. Other than that he had been fairly solid under the high ball. He might have been dropped after than game but if I remember correctly he was injured so wouldn't have played anyway. For someone who definitely wasn't a winger he adapted very well.

He's always been a centre by preference, and he's shown some signs that he's a got enough talent to make it, he's just never really put it all together. That's arguably something that could come with consistency which he hasn't had.

Kris Welham has come along way at Hull KR and while his defence still isn't top notch his defence when he first reached the first team was absolutely dreadful. With patience and consistency he's improved an awful lot though.

It's not a certainty that Goulding is going to be good enough, but in the circumstances he definitely deserves his chance and deserves a bit of patience.

From his Facebook, same punishment as Finch last year

Don`t like to use the phrase," I told you so". But i will lol

If he'd just been bunking it I think he'd be looking at far more then getting his hair dyed a daft colour which just seems a bit of a laugh.

He's obviously had the odd late or 2 but I can't see it being much more then that seeing as Wane was prepared to pick him at the weekend. If he was purposely taking the pi*s already i'd expect he'd be given a real dressing down and warned where he'll end up if it continues.
