Balance in terms of star quality and workhorses is vital IMO and despite being (wrongly IMO)maligned for so called stupidity I really like Gelling as a centre and as an entertainer. In a dull season Gelling keeps you wanting to watch him/Wigan.

As fans we expect player to play for love blah blah of Wigan RLFC but it isn't rational IMO. How long is a good career? 10 years or 3 decent contracts? You see too many past legends hobbling about to say ignore the money. Good luck to whomever, they deserve all the money they can earn.

Do you not think week in week out they enjoyed the season mor than we did. Plenty in Wigan RLFC did not enjoy the season but are delighted at a GF win.
