Stick with Gildart

Post by cpwigan »

Thought he was class tonight. Proper centre. Likewise Gelling. I think unless they lose form, need a rest we should go with them as our centres.

Yep agree

I said the same thing. That should have made the place his for the foreseeable future.

I am still not convinced by Gelling. I don't think he has any more vision than Sarge and in the first half he gave a daft pass that was nearly intercepted. The advantage he has over Sarge is size but I don't think he is any better vision wise.

Gelling can do no wrong in my eyes. He is a reincarnation of Henderson Gill, Green Vigo and Rocket Ronnie Braithwaite. I'm happy to suffer brainfarts alongside magic! :lol:

He's the best centre we have by a country mile. I think he has been hard done to this term as his performances last season should have guaranteed him a starting spot. The lad has great feet and is very elusive. He looks a threat every time he has the ball in his hands, Charnley must feel that Christmas has come early.

I think his vision for the assist was pretty good, and his vision to spot the gap for his try wasn't bad either, clutching at straws with the he gave a daft pass that was nearly intercepted, I will take the try and assist over that any day of the week!! Many quality players throw passes that are nearly intercepted or actually are!
