Looking like we could be signing Gelling, thoughts?

Very good signing if true. Looks like Derek is doing what needs to be done. I would like a quality halfback too.

Hardly Famileigh ?

Smacks of desperation

Good signing SL standard. Looks like Sau out for a while. Think we lack a bit of competition in the backs good to see the squad being further strengthened.

They need strengthening,it’s a good start.

He's Signed [url=https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/v2/blog/2021/04/12/leigh-centurions-confirm-signing-of-anthony-gelling/[uHERE[/u[/url

why is he and dont give us the press release blurb look at the facts

Good signing and we certainly need cover in the Centres.

Satan, Have you had a couple?

I have but do most nights,

Can he play full back? Wallace is not the answer. In fact is he the answer to anything?

An outstanding signing, just the kind of quality required. I am more confident now that there will be the required number of wins to achieve our goal. Well done to all concerned! More of the same please!

NO!

So you have nothing to offer thought so. you obviously dont watch any games just continue to infect various sites contributin nowt

Good man Bart, I love it



. I think Gelling is a cracking signing. Play Elliot at fullback, and sign a quality winger, and a top quality halfback if we can, and we will be in a much much better/stronger position. I know this might sound harsh but Wallace,Reynolds,Brand, Tierney and Brierley are certainly not the answer,they're in the wrong division.

You know very well i offer my view and opinions throughout my post ,so why can't you explain with yours?

So C'mon Satan, elaborate and tell me why this isn't a good signing? Now, you tell me what you would do at this moment in time? You consistently give negative posts without backing up your reasons. Where should we strengthen? and also tell me who isn't good enough to be in the squad?

I’m sorry, but I can’t see us getting any wins at all going off Sunday’s 1st half non performance. The starting pack of forwards were totally outmuscled, and the left flank was totally exposed. The only positive was when the 3 forward subs who came on plus the wholehearted efforts of Jordan Thompson. If that first half gets repeated against a top side we will be 40 points down at half time .

Can't agree, we've just signed Gelling,and we must keep reinforcing where necessary. Our pack will hold their own, trust me.

I'm not sure one way or the other with this news.
On the one hand, I remember Gelling in his prime, on the other his later hot & cold performances & off field trouble.

My initial questions are how fit is he ?
When did he last play ?
Has he been training ?

If on a short term contract & looking to rebuild his future then we could have a real positive. Not sure where he is at with his legal case or heads space though !

Fingers crossed & hope for the best !

At the end of the day, with Sau being out for most of the season and was hardly a revelation in the championship anyway, Gelling is a big improvement on young Keenan Brand.

You have done nothing to enhance this forum as you have been informed on many occasions but choose to blindly ignore.Your comment below my initial post was typical.

The reasons for not signing Gelling are well put by others and I agree with them.How long is his contract ? is he on a contract that will be torn up? normal contracts include disrepute clauses.Is he on day rate?

I stated my views on Barba, no doubt you would have made him captain.I looked at the NRL release list and many of them had similar problems as Barba/Gelling, or were crocked.We have a paid director of rugby who must have been speaking to players agents here and overseas and someone in oz both searching far better qualified than me.

For whatever reasons we have not had our first choice, by contracts given, out on the field.Wrong profile of player signed,just what was easily available.means we may never will.We can only ask for maximum effort though Duffy said he was pointing finger after Sunday and thats a big worry.

Really! I think your adjudicating the wrong person here. Who have I been informed by? And about what topic?


FWIW - I've never mentioned Barba anywhere apart from liking a post from someone who wouldn't have him here. You've baffled me with your post here mate.

It's not easy for low lying Lancashire clubs to attract talent. I would be looking at any ex Catalan players and Tony Gigot would tick a few boxes.
