Don't shoot the messenger, but: I'm told Gelling to sign for next year. To be announced on Wednesday.

Heard it from a Widnes fan who has club connections.

Well if that became true it would definitely mean Atkins will not be getting a contract here.

It's already been confirmed Atkins is not being offered a contract.

Told the same this morning. I'd be very happy with him. An out and out centre. The first since Gleeson?
Looks pretty nailed on that Goodwin is moving on with this.

Wouldn’t be happy with Gelling as first choice centre to be honest. If he can come in and be a squad man I’d be all for it, but we need two better centres ahead of him and expecting one of them to be Burrell at this stage would be a gamble.

A7.
Who you have in front of him?
None of the current for me.

Gelling is a very average player really and isn’t enough of an upgrade on your other centres (if at all) to warrant signing him. There’s a reason why he ended up at Widnes.

He ended up at Widnes because he got a good SL contract. It's that simple.

Gelling has never played in SL for Widnes, he’s never had the chance to either. They got relegated after he signed and he could have reneged on the deal but chose not to. I think it’s pretty obvious why.

I was very specific and as I said 'simple' about how he ended up at Widnes in contrast to your initial post...nowhere did I say he played at a SL level for Widnes.

you should really try reading a post before embarrassing yourself... mind you, bit late for you on here that... carry on Einstein.
