He's been an easy beat for most of his career, certainly the last 5 years. Another year at fullback for Wello would be simply farcical. It's time up, game over, why prolong it. Can anyone actually remember when Wello used to be good? I used to be his biggest fan, I used to have arguements until I was blue in the face that he was the best fullback in the country. Now it's a similar feeling to watching one of your offspring struggle at something they are terrible at but really wish they weren't.
He will probably be in the top 3 for saints club player of the year - AGAIN. Yes he will get skinned by a fast winger when Wellens tries to cut across field which is what happened when Turner missed a tackle and then Dawson missed a tackle on Friday.
Wellens still reads the game better than other player in the squad and communicates that to the team, we have not got one single player in the squad capable of that attribute, similar to Sinfield and O'Loughlin.
Wellens has never been an easy beat and has been good for most of his career, hence the media recognition of "Mr Radar".
Yes, he should be retiring at the end of the season but who is available to replace his qualities......its not all about being able to run fast.
