Gelling / Thornley

[TrueBlueWarrior]

We are now a better team since TB left? Yes you are right Jim we are, that is not because TB has left but because we have better players making us a better 'team'. If TB was still here playing for us then we would be an even better team because in my opinion as good as FINCH is TB was better. Carmont in my opinion is a world class centre especially considering his age, Gelling is a make shift winger that does a good job for the 'team', but on that basis I would simply say that Gelling is to blame for the lack of 'chemistry' more than George. I too question the motivation behind some of your posts and as I am entitled to an opinion just like you, some of your posts are beyond ridiculous.

Jim some of your recent posts have been so warped I like many thought you were doing it for a wind up.

TB was an awesome player. More importantly he helped develop players like Sam T acting as a mentor / guru.

George has given this club fantastic service. Nobody has ever been unable to gel with him until Gelling who has found it impossible to be an outstanding winger because he is not a winger. He is too slow and unable to support play as a winger either overreading play or never reacting at all. To blame George beggars belief.

You are far better having a dig at me but to attack TB & George C, posters will think what planet is Jim on.

I think as a makeshift winger, Gelling has been solid but unspectacular. He has shown some moments of class, but on regular occasions he has been found lacking in terms of his positioning. Now SW is faced with a choice; once Charnley is back fit, does he drop a player who has been "solid but unspectacular", or does he drop a player who scored two tries on his debut, and who is being groomed as a replacement for Carmont at the end of the season? In my opinion, it's a pretty simple decision. This is no criticism of Gelling; I think he has shown that he will do a decent job for us on the wing when called upon. I just think that Thornley showed a better understanding of the wing position, and on that basis I want to see more of him!

CP check Barretts history with Wigan. A team divided, oz v Brits, "you're not fit to ware the shirt" calls. Yes at the end he did what he was paid for but that was only after he had decided he was going home. Old ground. Jim

Jim it is wear not ware!

The difference with you and me is I would rather praise than condemn.

Yet you criticise TB, George and others. Even posters.

You need help Jim

Where have I criticised George. Where have I said he is not a good centre. What I have said is he is the tradesman, Gelling the apprentice. He would appear to lacks the patience to fulfil that role.
I hate bullies, especially Internet bullies. No one is safe. Look down your list. Gelling, Pryce, Mathers, how far back do you want to go. In one match I watched Hock had more dropped balls, wayward passes, and out of positions than Gelling but his name was not dragged through the mud.
And it is already a proven fact who needs help on here and it ain't me.
Trueblue you want to correct my English you would have a full time occupation. Spellcheck best thing ever invented. Jim

Jim, I was only being as awkward as you obviously intend to be with your ridiculous posts. The reason why Hock does not get criticised as much as the likes of Mathers, Pryce etc is because he is a World Class 2nd Rower that consistently performs well, unlike Mathers and Pryce. When has Gelling had his name dragged through the mud on here? Everybody understands he is raw and out of position making posters very supportive towards him, especially CP.

Jim so you now want to play the maligned victim. Sorry but nobody has bullied you but if you talk nonsense then people will tell you so, me included.

Mathers was rubbish; Pryce not much better. Nobody has said so re Gelling, many are saying he is not a winger. I think likewise. Take a look at the highlights v Wakey, explain how Carmont is to blame for Wakeys first try or how he fails to gel in attack with Gelling?

Put up or shut up Jim. Initially, I like many thought you were on a wind up. Now I think you are clueless. Prove otherwise.

Look at the title of this thread. Another thread to get Gelling dropped. Must do wonders for his concentration?
