cant understand why this lad has not got any credit for last night i thought he was mom and his try took some scoring and turned the match we were under the cosh at the time .this lad deserves to be first on the team sheet instead of an afterthought.

we will tell next year what madge thinks of him when we have a fully fit squad no real competion with roberts not firing phelps dropping of edge of the earth and pryce being pryce
personally think hes improved massively this year

Have alot of time for Daz.. Had a great all round season, very rarely makes mistakes and quietly goes about his business. Congrats on a very very good season

TBH he has been nothing short of Fantastic this season, rock solid performer in every game. MM has shown total faith in him and i expect him to be rewarded with the Number 2 shirt next year.

bowvey thats what i am saying we got nobody else so stick him on the wing .well this guy a has earned his place big time.

Always tries his heart out, which is good to see as a fan.

I'd have him as first choice next year.

He's really stepped up this year. Although he's scored plenty of tries in every season so far to be fair to him.

I wonder how he'd go back at centre having had experience of playing on the wing?

I think he deserves another chance at centre soon

He's been great this season and no reason why he cant be our starting winger next year. Certainly deserves his place in the starting line up next week.

i think hes more than worth it off this season my problem might be the amount of back rowers next year may push someone like joel to centre and gleeson wing maybe
big decions next year
glad its madges and not mine

Strength in depth is always a good thing. You know were going well when good players miss out on the 17.

not seen it for a while
thing is no one mentioning the competion with marsh and charnley
if the improvement in faz and tuson this season is out go by they maybe pushing hard next year

And he will get it...... Carmont and Gleeson are both the wrong ends of their careers.

Theres competition throught the whole team, and we will see the emergance of a few more next year. Hopefully this team will get better and better...

I posted on the Saints site about the England squad that Goulding should go to Aus as backup centre / winger. They didn't agree.

I have been one of his fiercest critics in the past mainly because of his positioning and decision making, but he has had an excellent season, particularly the last couple of months.

Goulding was in my three in the MotM thread and I feel that was totally justified. He's developed into a top notch winger over this season, and I bet a lot of us honestly didn't expect to see much of him at all. He's been fantastic, and deserves the #2 shirt for 2011 and beyond.

He should be going to the four nations in my view. He's scored a ton of tries and has had a truly spectacular season. Well done Darrell.

No doubt about that - we're the youngest team in SL as well as the best!

This is the one thing that justifies placing Rugby League over football as my favourite sport. I've loved both since being young, but these days RL is so much better it's unreal. And I'll tell you a big reason why.

In football, teams get excited over some massive, multi-million pound signing from Botswana or somewhere stupid. In Wigan, and indeed across a lot of Super League and Rugby League clubs, we revel in the excitement of seeing our academy players coming through and making a mark, like Sam Tomkins and Darrell Goulding in particular have done in recent times. It really is a testament to the sport that this happens.

I can't believe he's so far down in our player of the season (likewise with carmont)

Although his tries show he's great going forward, what I was pleased with was his defence last night, as well as his catching off high bombs. Rarely have I been so confident of our back three (Goulding, Tomkins and Richards) to be able to catch a ball off a bomb, and return it the way all three of them do.

In my opinion, he should have the number 2 shirt next year.

Regards to people saying 'he doesnt get the credit he deserves' - I think he does. Not heard anyone say a bad word about him since he cemented his place on the wing.

He really is a success story this year after losing his spot in the centre last year and going on loan to Salford his future at Wigan wasnt looking good. But for me he can have the number 2 spot at Wigan for the rest of his career if he carries on playing the way he is.

He had a stunning game yesterday.

Took his try wonderfully and was unflappable under the high ball.

Speaking of which - was it just me that thought he claimed the high ball, went down to complete the tackle and was then picked up and thrown out of bounds? It was in the second half, with the Wigan fans at his back, during a period of sustained Leeds pressure.

Yes that happened; Goulding caught the ball and went to ground and made a half attempt at going forward, staying low, but Senior and someone else picked him and threw him into touch and the scrum wet to leeds. One of a couple of things the officials got totally wrong last night.

Totally agree with all the positive things being said about him, think he has been superb this year and was only saying to my other half last night it is to be hoped he doesn't fancy going to Crusaders seeing as the coach there didn't seem to rate him too highly at all

He was excellent, but he has been all season. Nothing new for him. Leeds tested him big time with high kicks/in the wind and he dealt with them all - unlike Scott Donald. He proved he can perform in the big, pressure games and he should definitely be on that plane for the Four Nations for me.
