With Budgie hovering overhead, Gelling has it all to do this season if he wants to establish himself. And I really hate to say this, but I don't think young Lewis is going to make it at Wigan!cherry.pie wrote:
The only players who didn't perform well were Gelling, who looked weak in defence and just generally off his game, and Tierney who spilled two catchable kicks, the first leading to pressure which led to a try and the second leading directly to a try.

Gelling has a lot to do, he needs to perform a lot better on a regular basis. At the moment, in my view, he is way off first team standard. I won't be bagging him but I hope he is nowhere near the first 17.Whelley Warrior wrote:Looks like Gelling is now established as number one target to call rotten now that lauaki is no longer around.

No it doesn't. People making the observation he didn't play well in one game doesn't mean he "is now established as number one target".Whelley Warrior wrote:Looks like Gelling is now established as number one target to call rotten now that lauaki is no longer around.

If the coach, who gave him the 5 shirt, is also suggesting (reading between the lines of his comment) that Burgess and Manfredi are ahead of Gelling for that left wing spot then I think its totally fair to pass observations on Gelling from those that watched the game and have an opinion.DaveO wrote:No it doesn't.

That is quite a ridiculous thing to say.
And if a player is as consistently as poor as Lauaki was, discussing that isn't "targeting" the player either.
The implication that posters have some sort of vendetta against players is as daft as someone suggesting the club were right to sell Hansen because he wasn't giving 100%.

I had to go to a wedding fair so didn't go to the game but my understanding is Gelling was named captain. As a point of ballance, in fairnesss to Gelling, he was the only player that featured in the World Cup that was selected to play if I remember right - may be a factor if he was sluggish.
I also heard the right side defence was a bit poor first half, and from the highlights I saw it looked like Gelling was right centre in the first half but then Sarginson popped up there in second half, so I can't be sure.
Good to see that some of the new guys contributed.
