Apart from when Sam goes in the halves, we are the slowest side possible for distribution. And yes that is slower than when Matty Smith was with us. It goes a long way to explaining our lack of penetration as the ball lumbers out towards the wings; defences stifle us and we see Bateman trying to beat everyone on his own and Farrell kicking. If we were quicker at the PTB and distribution, then the wings and centres would be able to use their undoubted talents because they would have the ball with more time and space to attack the defence. It will take a new coach before that happens, though.DaveO wrote:I don't think anything Matty Smith did could ever be described as "fast".Southern Softy wrote:
In a nutshell - perfectly put. Although if I was offered Matty Smith on loan, I'd take him and maybe use him as hooker for his ability as a fast distributor of the ball and as an option for tactical kicking.
As to Gelling v Sarge it's a debate about who is least worst. If Sarge has one positive attribute it's he's a trier and gives 100%. Technically he's not good enough. Gelling was signed as a project player and left as one six years later. No improvement in his game whatsoever. A few games a season where he looked good usually against poorer opposition was not enough.
We dodged a bullet so I thought when Sarge left early but we were daft enough to bring him back. When another sub standard player volunarily exits the club lets not make the same mistake twice.
I also think the fact Gelling basically walked out for what will turn out to be (if he returns to SL) less than compelling reasons should rule out a return here. As soon as he can't get a game in the NRL his girlfriend issues vanish.
Finally while any new coach can't complain the club signed Greenwood I don't think it should be lumbering the new coach with a player like Gelling. He's just not good enough to be a no-brainer type of signing regardless of him walking out.
hopefully it will be moved to another super league forum and not ours loljosie andrews wrote:I’ve moved this to the General Forum, because Gelling isn’t a Wigan player now & probably wont be again!
