Here's hoping.'"
Id imagine the fact that Gelling is known for playing in the forwards he might have a bit more of that aggression and heart that Pryce so often lacked!'"
Joel Tomkins had the aggression and power at centre but didn't have the awareness and passing game. I agree with you Gelling could be a massive player for the future if he has the aggression of a forward and can provide for his wing man.'"
Gelling will definantly have the agression which Karl Pryce lacked having played in the forwards. I hope he runs the ball in hard when he needs to from the back. He has experience at centre which Joel didn't really have much of. Not only that, he has played 6 for the Cook Islands, yes it isn't the highest level but IMO it shows he MUST have a decent passing game and good vision, why else could he have been picked in that role?
I am really excited about this signing. I have a feeling he will be an improvement on Joel at centre.'"
Interesting that he played at 6. I didnt know that. You could assume for someone so big to be picked at 6, they must have some kind of creativity in their style of play. Hopefully that means he knows how to create space for players around him, always a must for a good centre. His size that wide out on the field could draw in 2 or 3 defenders anyway.'"
Hope you're all right. Conversely, didn't big Karl also play stand off at international level? |

Has there been a better club man than Rads in the Super League era? Every entry in this blog just makes me like and respect him more. I suppose Saints fans might argue a case for Cunningham, who has been and continues to be a great servant to their club but I can't think of anybody else that comes close.

Does anyone else get the sense from reading these blogs that we are in for one hell of a year? Everything rads says which I believe suggests we are really determined to go and get that super league trophy back. I predict another successful year for wigan!

I think we all hope that wayne has the know how at manager level, He defo has the heart and he will NOT be thinking we will see how we go.
He will be going to win every game.
I think if we start well and get a roll on i dont think he will let up on the guy's and the lads will be right behind him and the team will get better and better ect.
If we start slow this could be the test with the lads to really see if they buy into wayne.
I think, We WILL be up their this season I know we have lost allot of older heads but we have some tallent, And if they all step up i cant se us loosing to many games.
Oh and yes ,,, Rads blog is ace

Definately.
So, lets start speculation on who fought who (and the subsequent winner).
First Fight:
Tommy Leuluai vs Micky McIllorum

this blog is fantastic. if every club was to do this and publish it to newspapers or even the the rugby league magazine i could see it gaining alot of interest (i found my self checking this 4 times today to see if day 7 had been uploaded)!!. to me this trip sounds like its been well worth the money, only question i have is why only 1 week? gelling looks like a gun i hope he has some speed to him and paddy gains some again. the size difference in finchy is mental he looks like he is ready for a body building comp. i can see us being able to cope with warringtons size this year no problem! its going to be good to see some of the other lads like mossop a preckie fill out aswell as lima he was defo missing some much needed weight at the beging of the season. fielden should be all guns blazing aswell. this pack could be the monsters of superleague this year size wise. i know warrington readers will be holding their todgers to see if theirs is bigger but it wont be this season no way. i just hope mickey has been practising his passing of the floor from dummy half if he has then he will be fine.
The exact same noises are radiating out of this team as when maguire first arrived and look what happened. and i dont know why i just get the feeling this season we will be stronger than last season at the end of last season we seemed to be lacking in physical toughness.
please if any one could get hold of the video what rads was on about in the blog i would love to see it? i got tingles just thinking about it.

It won't be published and I doubt they'll let anyone outside the club look at it |
