| Pretty impressed with his all round performance today. His attitude was spot on and really worked hard. His kick returns were strong making good yards and he looked safe under the high ball. The try was just a bonus but what about the flick offload to Carmont. I understand it is against Wakefield and its only one game but he was great today.

| Rafts of potential! Big, strong, athletic and decent pace.
We could have a player here if they keep him on the straight and narrow.

| Very promising indeed, worked very hard and looked like a handful to put down. I hope they don't just put Pat straight back into the team, he hasn't looked right all season. I would keep Gelling there for now and try to improve Charnley's kicking

| Looked dangerous every time he got the ball, Pat will have a job getting back in if he keeps it up.

| Gelling as I said was good today and has potential but to suggest he should keep his place over Richards at this point is fanciful. Pat Richards has earned his spot over a number of years and as much as his form hasnt been his best he's still a really solid performer that will win us more then his fair share of games with the boot as well as his classy finishing.
Gelling is a squad player, a long term project who can fill in for the three quarters when injuries strike or players need rests and long term could be a replacement for Carmont or even Richards but he shouldn't and won't take their places.
I had a go at somebody for writing Gelling off after the Widnes game and today I'm going the opposite way. People need to keep a level head.

I agree that Pat has of course been brilliant for us for years, but Gelling had a better game today than Pat has all year. If Richards tore it up in the reserves upon his return or Gelling couldn't keep it going then fair enough, but I think Gelling has earned his shot, and Richards needs to recover/find form to regain his place in the team. It would also show the young lads that Wane isn't afraid to drop a big name for a form youngster

| Pat looks like he's carrying a niggle or two and I have no problem with giving a few weeks to get right but as soon as he is he's back in the side for me.
He's far too important to us to be sitting in the reserves.

| Gelling defused a couple of high kicks well early on and seems to grow in confidence as a result. He's a big unit and showed some nifty footwork too. The question mark he had when he came over was his attitude but there is definite potential there. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't keep his place for the Challenge Cup game next week but I expect to see Pat come back in for the trip to Hull the week after, providing he is fit of course. That looks like it will be a tough game that will require experienced heads

| I, too, was quite impressed with Gelling's game today...as others have said, took the high ball well, scored a nice try, and showed some neat footwork, and produced a lovely "back door" pass for Carmont....got a shout from the chairman in the South Stand bar before I had to leave as well!

It would show he was a bit thick as well.
Gelling had a good game today but to suggest Richards will have to win his place back on the back of one game by Gelling v a weak side is nuts. In case you missed it Charnley's goal kicking was not very good and against Hull that is luxury Wane can't afford just to prove a point. We are not going to score shed loads of tries v them. They have one of if not the best defence in the league. Goal kicks are going to count so Richards will play and not just because of that but because it is a big game against a team going well and his experience is required.

Pat's not been right all year. If he can't perform at his best, and that includes kicking, then he needs to be rested until he's fit again IMO. Josh does OK as a back-up kicker, and I'm hoping that's something SW is working on. Gelling did well today, but one swallow doesn't make a summer.

| Gelling did very well today, hopefully will play next week, couple of weeks off for Pat, when he is fit he is "Superman" end of.
Super League is about having a strong squad with people slotting in all season, our squad is coming together nicely with more people getting game time due to injuries and suspension, it is a long season.

| Certainly worthy of another run out next week for me, possibly at centre in place of George.

Got driven back over his own line on two occasions against Widnes, resulting in drop-outs. Granted he was never put under that much pressure today, but a player of his size and stature should never get pushed backwards as easily as he was. Big improvement today IMO. Looked eager and showed much more enthusiasm and desire to be involved

| could ahve had a field day had they done the old 'kick to Pats wing on the last', he had Fox well and truly in his pocket, to the point he was not contesting, merely trying to tackle when he had won the ball.
Give him a decent run and keep Pat for the business end of the season, when we will really need his kicking
