Maybe, but shouldn't he be being 'polished' in the U20s, rather than in the first team, where he clearly isn't good enough?

Who plays instead? Others have been given a chance and Waneys going with Gelling - That'll do for me!

I mean, he can't even catch! Carmont made a cracking break on Sunday and would normally have slung a long ball out to Richards for him to finish off. Carmont saw Gelling, and decided to stick hold instead, presumably because he couldn't trust him to catch it.

Supposing that had been in the last minutes of the Grand Final and we'd have been three points behind? Is that acceptable?

The rest - I'm lost for words to reply on your "hypothese!"

Come on Conroy, you're smart enough and you're at every game. How does that figure compare with the amount of chances he's bombed, whether that's dropping balls or running in touch, for instance?

Everyone bombs a try or two. Luckily he isn't costing us them at the back so I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Got any stats for his errors Rogues or are we ignoring those in true happy clapper tradition? If you want to start a debate on Gelling do it right.

http://www.superleague.co.uk/player/20446 21 errors and 8 missed tackles. I don't think any of his 'fans' are saying he doesn't make errors, what we're saying is that he's making them in the right areas and isn't costing us points defensively. We understand that his game needs some work, but we can see that when it has had he has the potential to be a star. Having looked at those stats, Eric isn't half as bad as I thought he was. I may need a new scapegoat. Bl00dy rubbish Gelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't get his brain farts against Wire out my head. W@nker.

Saying that, SW was at fault for leaving him on to be wound up like that.
