I was very impressed with Gelling on Friday night, he was a real handful and very hard to stop

I don't recall him being awful v Hunslet tbh and I've only seen one person express that view (FIOS in two separate threads). He never got the ball in space but he nearly broke the tackle a few times and did nothing wrong defensively. Only negative thing I noticed from him was one knock on

He was poor against Hunslet for sure making a few errors but he certainly wasn't in the minority.

He deserves a crack in a position other then the wing over a sustained period. If that's centre or second row I'm not really fussed but keep sticking him out there when we have other options is strange IMO. I felt a bit for Dom Manfredi on Friday who I thought was going to get a run of games?!

Manfredi should come back in the team for the next game with Gelling to LC and Sarginson dropped. He shouldn't play centre again until he learns how to defend.

I'd go with that although Charnley is also meant to be pretty close. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd love to see Charnley get a go at centre to add some pace and a real attacking threat in there.

Hull away or Leeds may not be the game to try this but when we get chance I'd love for us to have a look at-

Bowen
Manfredi
Gelling
Charnley
Burgess

That's a backline full of pace and power. I'm not saying it's one to keep for each and every game but I'd love to have a look at it.

At the presser for the Leeds game Waney said that Josh had run for the first time that day and was a couple of weeks off. Whether he returns for the Leeds game I don't know. He also said Ben Flower was two weeks away.
Agree with the feelings that Manfredi should come in at Hull.
I'd go for that game with Bowen, Manfredi, Goulding, Gelling and Burgess.
Also I'd be tempted to go with Williams at 7 and Green 6 with Smith rested.
Powell would be my back interchage.
I do think SW will bring in some changes after that loss at Leeds.

2nd row for me, I think he'd do a great job coming off the bench to spell Farrell/Bateman and provide much more of a threat than Hughes.

I too would give him a run in the 2nd row, he's just not got a rugby brain for a centre Gouldings not that good but as a centre he's a bit more nous than Gelling,

we need two good pacey centre's, oh to have a gary Connolly or dean bell

Don't think we'll ever get to see the likes of them again Hatty,

I know but I can dream

or another Carmont

Both Gildart and Higginson are quick, but we may have to wait a few years before they graduate to the first team. I wish Percival had chosen Wigan instead of Saints when he had the opportunity.

You just never know.

Things were really bad in the 1970's, apart from Bill Ashurst.

Gelling is having a stormer tonight by the sound of it.
