| Some nonsense on this thread.
Comparing Pryce and Gelling is just silly.
And as for the racism issue, that is deeply offensive as a suggestion.
There has been unfair and nasty criticism of particular players going on for a long time . It really is quite depressing. The worst example is the abuse aimed at Lockers for a number of years.. We have an annoying amount of idiots but they are just idiots rather than racist idiots, to be fair. There aren't many Wigan fans who don't appreciate what black players have done for our club and the game. Some of them are all time greats of rugby, not just club legends.

I do. The vast majority of people simply don't bother where a player comes from, they look at what he does on the pitch.
Lots of people have (rightly or wrongly) criticised Goulding, McIlorum, Joel and Logan Tomkins, Ashton, Hock, Lockers, Ainscough, Tuson, Prescott, Thornley, to name but a few. Yes, it's good to have all these local lads coming through, but neither Wane nor the majority of fans give them any special treatment either way.

| Quote: Jeff the God of Biscuits "In your post [You made no reference to previous comments] you said you didn't rate him, and the points you cite as to why, is two knock ons and him not putting the ball down closer to the posts. And when I challenged you and pointed out other players who'd made very similar mistakes, receiving no negative comment from yourself, you chose to ignore it, and insulted my post.
Now if you don't like him, for whatever reason, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine. But, if you continue on your little mini-vendetta you have against the lad, do please be prepare to be challenged. If you cite such ridiculous points, prepare to be challenged. If you insult people's posts, prepare to be insulted yourself.'"
Have you even read my posts? My opinion of him is based on his time with us, stop making it sound like I'm basing it on Fridays game, in clearly not. I haven't insulted anybodies posts and have stated that I hope he proves me wrong. Its anything but a vendetta. Maybe I haven't mentioned any others players mistakes because this thread is called Anthony Gelling, just a thought. My posts are my opinion, I haven't insulted anyone. So you just stick to your mini vendetta against me and keep telling me my posts are 'ridiculous' because they don't agree with yours if that's what keep you amused.

| Quote: Paul Youane "He got binned off by Sydney Roosters for crapping on a hotel's floor and then went to play for the NZ Warriors feeder club. I make that two NRL club's development systems but willing to count again if you think I might have mis-counted somewhere.'"
How many first team games did he play?
We've got umpteen lads here that have come through one of the rugby league worlds best development system yet have played very few first team games. They're inexperienced kids trying to make their way in the game. Gelling is just the same regardless of who's reserve teams or feeder clubs he's played in.
I'm sure you'll have a good celebration if he does eventually fail though. Any small crumb will do I suppose.

| Showing signs of real quality thus far. Using his size well.
It would be interesting to see how he gets on with a platform and early ball.
He is working off scraps so far but making good use of them.

Wrote the above at half time, he has played himself into a starting centre shirt tonight. Having only played 5 games all year and to perform like that I believe we have a frightening prospect on our hands in the centre.

| Good again.
I'm not getting in to any debate about his long term prospects or previous displays as that's been done to death but that was quality.
Well done him.
