"I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count"
[quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote]
Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!
RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015!
"The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth."

| Quote: ROBINSON "Maybe, but shouldn't he be being 'polished' in the U20s, rather than in the first team, where he clearly isn't good enough?
Who plays instead? Others have been given a chance and Waneys going with Gelling - That'll do for me!
I mean, he can't even catch! Carmont made a cracking break on Sunday and would normally have slung a long ball out to Richards for him to finish off. Carmont saw Gelling, and decided to stick hold instead, presumably because he couldn't trust him to catch it.
Supposing that had been in the last minutes of the Grand Final and we'd have been three points behind? Is that acceptable?'"
The rest - I'm lost for words to reply on your "hypothese!" |

Everyone bombs a try or two. Luckily he isn't costing us them at the back so I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. |

Got any stats for his errors Rogues or are we ignoring those in true happy clapper tradition? If you want to start a debate on Gelling do it right. |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

21 errors and 8 missed tackles.
I don't think any of his 'fans' are saying he doesn't make errors, what we're saying is that he's making them in the right areas and isn't costing us points defensively. We understand that his game needs some work, but we can see that when it has had he has the potential to be a star.
Having looked at those stats, Eric isn't half as bad as I thought he was. I may need a new scapegoat.
Bl00dy rubbish Gelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't get his brain farts against Wire out my head. W@nker.
Saying that, SW was at fault for leaving him on to be wound up like that. |

Not really, no-one is saying get rid of him, just that he's got bags of potential but isn't ready yet. |

I don't think you can compare the Pat Richard's first season in super league with Gellings, one had just won the NRL and played poorly in comparison for us the other is a promising youngster who has never played first grade rugby league before this season. I hope Gelling develops to be a world beater but the expectations i have for him this year are a lot lower than the expectations we all had for Richards in his first season.

I wasn't aware that I had made a case either for or against
My comment was aimed at Rogues' typically mischievous style. As far as Gelling goes, as an emergency winger he is solid in defense and makes hard yards too. However his errors in attack are frustrating but he's raw and has stepped into a mighty pair of boots. Is it allowed on here to be happy with parts of his game and disappointed with others? It seems some posters want a simple "for or against" stance with everything instead of realising that acknowledging a player's defects isn't always a total condemnation.

A good post. As usual Mr Jimmy.
Gelling is doing a job that he's not 'trained' to do. Just like Joel last season. He'll make errors that aren't typical of a seasoned winger but he'll also bring other things to that position like his returning the ball in. He does that harder than any current SL winger and he takes a lot out if the defences doing that. He does need to get out of the habit of putting butter on his fingers before games though.
