Wane won’t work with Gelling again.
Whilst Gelling is clearly a talent on the field he lost the trust of the coaches a while back.
His social media persona is extremely misleading.
The Thornley signing might not excite some supporters but he’s a coaches dream in relation to contributing towards a game plan and his conduct off the field. |

| Quote: NSW "Spot on, massively under rated.'"
Having seen Gelling at Wigan and Warrington, I'd say he's neither under-rated or over-rated. He's very good on his day, just doesn't do it consistently enough to be top-drawer IMO. Having said that, what is considered top-drawer in 2022 is very different to that of 5-10 years ago. Would we see the champions racing to sign a Konrad Hurrell? Would a top 4 team be bolstering their starting spots with the likes of P Matautia, Cust et al?
Gelling is entertaining when at his best though. A bit like a Mamo or a Fonua. Not the best, but the crowd love them. |

In short - yes they would.
Top teams over the years have seen plenty of unfancied players come in and be massive successes. Look at Bradford - Hape, Withers, Robbie Paul etc. None of them had more than 40 NRL caps. Saints had Fa'asavalu (a complete unknown) they signed Hargreaves etc.
We've had plenty of success in the modern times with guys like Carmont, Flower & and an aging Paul Deacon. Heck go back to the 'glory days' and we picked Iro up from relative obscurity and Henry Paul was drafted in after a season with Wakey. |

Agree.
Win you the game one minute, lose it you the next with a brain fart.
His work rate can't be criticised though and he was one of the best at bringing the ball off our line. |

Can't believe people would argue against the absolute legend that gave us this beauty being worthy of another wigan contract

Dean Bell played for Leeds RL for a season after leaving Carlisle
He then played 2 season's at the Eastern Suburbs club (Roosters now)
He was also a rep player for the NZ Maoris and also the New Zealand test side before Wigan signed him? |

It was a clownish thing to do. But it was a clownish decision by the referee to award the penalty in the first place.
Didn't he afterwards say that he'd forgotten it was Golden Point? Thereby indicating that he might not have awarded the penalty if he'd known ... thereby admitting that it wasn't actually a penalty.

Anyway, jumping to the end of the thread, I'm pretty pleased, and surprised, about Cust. He always looked a talent to me.

Pretty sure that was Wayne Bennett. |
