The rumour seems to have started on Facebook with no foundation as far as I can see.

As to him being dropped for poor play,I expect so. The difference between Gelling and other players who make mistakes is IMO that other players make errors occasionally, sometimes bad ones. Whereas with Gelling he just makes some absolutely shocking decisions that lead to errors. I don't think he knows where his team mates are at times.

If the offloads come off they look spectacular but I am not convinced he knows there is a player to receive the ball whenever he offloads .

He was at the game tonight cheering the boys on :)

Others have made similar bad mistakes during the course of the season but never took off straight away.

Sorry, but as far as am concern, he was taken off because Wane realised that he should have not played him in the first place as he was clearly not match fit!

We all saw him on the pitch warming up, along with Hampshire, so he was in the 19.
In that respect he hasn't been sacked or suspended.
What's gone on I've no idea but if their has been a problem then the most that must have happened is that he's been disciplined (A telling off and a fine?) internally.

Wane singled him and Josh out after the game too as players who've still been working hard and contributing despite not being in the team last night. Safe to say the sacking stuff was a bit of nonsense - I've still not seen anything to indicate at all what he might have done to substantiate the rumour either.

For the record, I can't recall MoS shouts but I was definitely trumpeting him for a Dream Team spot up until his injury at Wakefield. He was the most threatening and entertaining centre in the league at that time. Him and Manfredi were shoe-ins for dream team selection had they not been injured much of the back half of the season.

Gelling is not fully recovered from injury as proved in the game against Hull when he was replaced and the fact that he was in the warm up on Friday Night and most welcoming of Isa at the training ground make a mockery of any suggestion that he has been sacked or suspended by the club.

Whoever started this rumour needs to find better things to do with their time!

If anyone else had suggested Gelling was a shoe in for dream team selection I would have thought they were trolling.

He simply hasn't got the brains to be a top player.
