not to take anything away from carmont and pats partnership, but i think sometimes george should have been looking where he was passing...

It's interesting how people see the same game differently. I didn't think he played well today. Solid, perhaps, but not well. Too many errors.

That said he's an incredible athlete (big, strong, fast, fluid) and obviously has a lot of skill. If things click for him he's going to be a world beater.

He made errors yes but other than the dodgy play the ball where he knocked on I don't think many of them were unforced as such. 2? I think of his errors came after catching bombs and trying to pass/offload with men already wrapping him up so there wasn't much he could do in those situations. It was clear he was out of position and he didn't really seem to back himself but hopefully as his confidence builds he'll start to back himself more. He wasn't exactly a stand out player but I just think he did well given the circumstances.

I really enjoy watching him play, he just needs to tweak a few things about his game and he would be brilliant in this team. He is fantastic under the high bomb, I cant recall a time anyone has actually beat him to a high kick yet, he just needs to work on what to do once hes caught it

And he makes meters better than most props when carrying the ball up field, massive strength. If he carries on like he is he will be welcome at Wigan for a long time.

Gelling is doing OK. His attacking play and positional play needs some work but you can't fault the way he runs the ball back from defence.

Sides will also give up kicking toward him as he makes a lot of yards. He does look knackered by about 60 mins but that is a lot to do with effort he puts in. Increased fitness will help him though.

I will say it again. He is everything we wished Karl Pryce would be. He even has footwork and skills to go with it. Once he gets his timing right he will be a fantastic player.

Those having a dig at his errors... don't be daft. He made one unforced error at the start, other than that the others were made while trying to get over the line, you can't blame him for those.

His enthusiasm is a joy to see, perfect wingman for a derby game, he runs it in like a backrower. He will only get better with increased fitness and more game time. Pat who?

Yes I thought exactly the same. On 2 occasions he passed into thin air as Gelling was somewhere else!! George needs to realise that Gelling isn't Pat and will make different runs.
I actually didn't think Gelling was quite as good today as his last couple of games but I really like him and think we have a future star. Really want to see him at centre though...

Gelling made a lot of errors but to be fair many of them were on the last tackle/in attacking situations where no real harm was done.

On the positive side the amount of work he did running the ball at the Saints line was immense. He caused Saints massive problems throughout the game.

Saints would love to have a back as good as Gelling.

I think we have a potential world-beater on our hands here. IF the coaching staff can smooth off some of the rough edges, this lad could be a legend.

lets hope we can keep hold of him once he gets better, would be poor if we spent a few seasons molding him into a world beater only to be snapped up by an NRL side or lured to Onion

It's great to see another another good work-in-progress at Wigan. Yes he makes mistakes, but you can't deny when he shares in the forward work he lifts the team and the crowd. He has an uncanny knack of crawling 5yards when he's got 3 men on his back. He has a mix of Carney, Richards and Botica about him.That lad only knows one way...

He still needs to work on his fitness I think. The break Carmont made where he was about two yards behind only happened beacuse he had just made a carry in the set and was having a breather. Playing on the wing is no place to have a blow if you're knackered because a break can happen at any time and you have to be there to take the chanmces that come your way. Bags of talent and potential but he's being held back by being unable to back up after a carry. This can always be worked on though and I'm sure it is

He was out of position for at least two breaks. Richards would have strolled over for two tries if he had been playing. That's an error for mine.

But Richards was not playing. We can't have world class cover in evey position, i think so many people here are keen to find fault, as opposed to looking at the strengths players bring. Pats unavailiable, we won easy, he had a run out. people are being far to critical "for mine".

he was out of position compared to pat, but he was following the break, you could say george should have been looking where he was passing.

Thought Gelling was superb yesterday, he looked like a man possesed at times with the way he was determined to run the ball up and attracting 2-3 defenders. I think he will only improve now with more game time in the first team and hopefully he will cut out those errors.

With regard to Phil Clarkes comments a couple of weeks ago i think perhaps now people can see why we have signed Gelling because he offers a lot to the side and has huge potential.

Things really are looking good for the future as well as the present.

Needs to pull his socks up..

He's been awful tonight so far.

Stop being so critical!

Jees wept. Bad night.

Let's not overreact yeah, please?

He's a work in progress and WILL come good. A bad week every few I don't mind

i get that george and pats understanding is what makes them a great pair, but shouldnt george look where hes passing?

Not saying we should write him off, but he's had a stinker tonight

The lads as a whole have been very good though. Maybe it makes his own performance stand out.

Farrell has been good tonight.

Pack has been excellent... Changes have been seamless.

maybe he needs to be given his chance at centre, instead of being out of position on the wing, he seems to be ok until he gets near the oppositions try line, like he panics or something, maybe needs to see a sports psychologist

A sports psychologist?

You what?
A bit of poor pisitioning and hot headedness and we should send him the docs?

I think Wane, Harris and co will do ok themselves

Well said. Mountains being made out of molehills here if you ask me. Before long people will have convinced themselves he is the new Ainscough.
