I don't think he will last long in the team IMHO.

I brought up my concerns weeks ago about this guy and his lack of finishing will cost us a close game he didn't lose us that on his own but he played a big part in it last night

He needs to be in the pack or dropped to the academy imo he's not a winger the guy is like a rabbit in head lights out there

The guy is certainly a bit of an enigma, can't help liking him until he gets the ball near the try line and it's like the lights go out sometimes and last night when he knocked on with the line begging the vast majority of the crowd put their heads in their hands and after that I just didn't want anyone to pass to him and it wont be long before the players feel the same unless he starts to believe in himself

I don't think he's necessarily a bad player.

He does come in for work and his footwork is fantastic.

I just don't think he's good enough to stop an local/British academy player to be denied first team RL.

I'd like to see him in the centres, which is his natural position, before we can fully judge him.

Gelling seems to be the opposite of most wingers in that he's better in his own half than the oppositions. In particular he seems to be the opposite of Karl Pryce, especially in terms of effort.

He runs in hard from his own half, comfortable under a high ball and his defence is good. This is why IMO he keeps getting picked above any of the academy lads who could be a bit more suspect in defence. His finishing and ball handling at time is atrocious though and he has plenty of errors in him. Wane needs to decide if risking a potentially poorer defender but better finisher is going to be worthwhile.

Against Wakey he could put Sam back at 1 with Murphy on the wing instead of Gelling? Though I think we might see Sam in the halves next week.

Pryce would have probably scored all the chances which Gelling missed and yet still would get slated.

I agree. If Pryce was good at anything it was finishing off tries. Gelling really does need to start making the most of his attacking opportunities. He scores a few tries that not many other players could score yet also messes up opportunities that the vast majority of players would score from.

Not disagreeing with you, but i defy anybody to point out any other "Strengths" Pryce may have had. And i was one willing to give him a chance.

He is not, and never will be, a winger! My preference would have been King, although I have got to accept that he did not make the most of his opportunity earlier this season. Pat Richards would have scored a hat full this season.

He let's himself down time an time again with basic errors.

Murphy would get Gelling's wing spot against Wakey were it up to me.

Gelling has to be replaced.
I'd put Thornley on the wing to get him started in the first team.
Should we have problems at centre, like last night losing Daz, then he could switch to there. Hughes it not a replacement centre.
Murphy was excellent last night and I hope he gets another chance. I do doubt it though. Hope I'm wrong!
Gelling has had his chances and not taken them.
Time someone else was given the opportunity.

Sounds like he had a tough night last night which is a shame. I'm convinced he'll be a good player for us long term but certainly not on the wing. Also if Murphy has played as well as people are saying then he probably should get a crack on the wing. He's more of a natural to the position and will have that enthusiasm a youngster brings.

On a side note what happened to Goulding? Heard he went off but not heard what with. Fit for the semi?
