I hope he will do himself justice in the P&B, but his quote of "I'm hoping to come in as the big saviour; hopefully we will do it next year and break the curse" sets himself up for a fall before he's pulled a shirt on.

He has quite a sense of humour our Mr Gelling.

A sad state of affairs for our academy and scouting setup that we have to sign Gelling.

When you look at Saints and Wigan's backline and the players that come through their academy it really does hit home how poor we are in that regard.

Makinson
Percival
Grace
Burgess
Marshall
Davies
Manfredi
Gildart

With the resources at your disposal, it is embarrassing

Just cherry pick players from other clubs offering big contracts. No wonder they couldn’t wait for Mad Monday.

Someone has to put money into the game and keep the struggling, poverty stricken clubs afloat.

Re: Rumours 2 : Tue Oct 01, 2019 5:57 pm  

But ........ it is embarassing, in fact it's pathetic

I find the wave of the cheque book to cover up for the failure of our youth policy to be as disappointing as the inability of the cash addled players to deliver a GF win.

Saints, Wigan & Leeds are entitled to laugh.

Probably about the same point that you actually make somebody laugh.
