Side note - is it pronounced 'Gel-ling' or 'Jel-ling' ???

Trevor Hunts opinion of Gelling on twitter.

big, strong, quick and good hands. He will do well for Wigan at right centre. Defence looked solid too,. Impressed.

He was reccomended by Kevin Iro and Dean Bell

I was impressed, Not saying he's the full deal just yet but he looked like a very promising talent. Good footwork, looked strong and very hard to put down. I can see him doing a good job for us.

How do you pronounce Gelling? Is it like 'hair gel' or is it like Gull with an e?

The second one, the same way you pronounce 'Gil' as in 'Henderson Gil' or 'Gil Dudson'

Really impressed with him tonight he really stood out and looks like he wants to do well.

Nice for Lockers to get MOM but Gelling was the true man of the match easily the best player on the pitch for either side, Worked his socks off scored a decent try, Passed well, Defence was solid alert to everything going on around him a brilliant performance IF these "rumours" are true then it didn't affect him in the slightest. On a side note i'd be disappointed if we don't comfortably beat Huddersfield first game they were very poor tonight with most of the first team playing.

We may have signed a cracker here. He's got things to work on but his natural skills and athleticism is very impressive.

He looks aggressive and a real competitor as well.

Good early signs.

What a farce that was.


Is Gelling's hair cut not a fine for being late like Finch's was last year?

It is Conroy

Thought so.

If he really kicks on I hope he'd follow Chase's example and opt to play for England. BTW I thought I read somewhere that Charnley was going to play centre this year? Or have I made that up?

It's what has been said on here mainly.

i thought i read it on WEP online, but may be (probably) wrong.

Gelling looks very raw but certainly has the right attributes to be a good addition to the squad when he gets up to speed.
