anybody will get pushed back with 3 or 4 attackers in the tackle ?

althouigh i agree he looked for more work today

For me today he showed everything that Karl Pryce (a man of similar physical potential) didn't do

I thought he had a great game today but didn't see any fire in his belly. Maybe he needs more time but to me he looks a little lethargic. Sorry I am not normally negative!

I actually thought his effort was very good. Much better then at Widnes and much better then our previous 'project with potential' in Pryce fared.



It's his fitness he needs to work on. He visibly tired after about 20 mins worth of hard work and again in the 2nd half but unlike previously he kept pushing himself. I was really pleased to see him chase a kick down the touchline like his life depended on it Charnley style with about 10 mins left.

He also had Finch in his ear all of the game, mind you he wasn't the only one, Finch was "encouraging" the team throughout the game.

I can only disagree with you. Thought he looked really positive, every time the ball went out over the dead ball line he rushed to retrieve it then ran back up to the 20 each time to take it it. That isn't lethargic if you ask me?

Have you been watching Pat this season? He just doesn't look right at all, if he was playing as well as 2010, or ever 2011 then he would be straight back in no question, but we can't just keep playing him and ignoring nearly half a season's games.

Considering he is not a winger he had a very good game. He definately has that centre instinct cutting inside alot when he had the ball and a superb offload to carmont for his try.



I was very impressed with him yesterday and can see him in the centres at the weekend.

He was livelier, more enthusiastic, more aggressive and pretty much a different player than played at Widnes, he was a complete pudding that day.

Its good that Gelling is enjoying playing more than anything, thats one thing we all take for granted. All the WIgan players love to play whether its Sam running rings or Hock charging through, if Gelling plays like that good on him. I wish I had a job which made me as happy as these lot!

There's still work to be done with him but that was suggested when he signed so we knew that anyway, I was impressed with his ability to beat a man with ease one on one. Definitely a player with potential, will be interesting to see the progress he makes.

Add him to the long list of exciting players at the club;



Dudson, Hughes, Gelling, Spencer & Russell can be anything they want to be.



I'm excited for the future and having potential like this in the ranks makes it easier when positions have to be filled.



It also leaves room for a one or two marque signings to be made.
