What’s the purple thing he’s holding? (Sounds dodgy out of context)

What are you guys talking about? Maumalo was in near perfect position on that play, he needs to be able to run onto the pass. Gelling never even looked to his left, Ken was only around 2-3 metres behind him as long as Gelling doesn't throw that pass forward Ken will run onto it nicely. This was one of 3 occasions where Gelling touched the ball inside the Storms 30m area where he managed to butcher a probable try, if it was Kata the knives would have been out, calling him a ball hog who can't pass.

I think It all depends on what kind of pass you're rocking.
If it's a slow as, intercept bait, lob pass, that gives ken time to catch up to the play then he was perfect.
But seeing as the ball can float forward, as long as it travels back from the hands, then ken should really only be half a step behind his winger waiting for the bullet express pass.

Absolutely. Ken was exactly where he needed to be.
Concerning thing was as soon as he got the ball Gelling had no intention of even looking for his outside, even angled slightly infield. Was a clear 2 on 1 opportunity there as his opposite (Chambers had already been beaten).....Maumalo still would have had the fullback coming across to beat but a clear opportunity missed there.
A simple draw and pass was all it needed . Footy 101

Footy 101 lol. That's bollocks. Winger will almost always hold their sideline unless the centre runs out towards him then he will cut back in. If a centre cuts back in its the role of his inside man, usually a second rower to cross him thereby ensuring a link back to the winger. That there is footy 101.
You think he is part of a school of fish or gulp of swallows that he can almost instantly and instinctively tail his centre who darts back inside like they are telepathically connected!? That is not how it works in the real world. Especially a fast paced game where things happen in seconds...

A guy like Gelling who seems a real good bloke is not up to the weekly grind of the NRL.
Often you will see these guys have the intensity for one week maybe two but will inevitably fall behind.
It is not to say they cant get there. I think SK has done well sending guys to ISP for work ons.
Maybe Gelling will be consistent next year after another NRL pre season. Same for guys like Cook and Papalii.

The Warriors had their best period when they fielded the best center in the world on one edge while playing a very professional Aussie Center on the other edge.
Thereafter they have never had a deadly backline, rather relying on a Super winger they kicked to, because they were not good enough to pass it to that player.
Jerome was a reasonable Center when fit and young, but the lack of a center of any real use on the other edge was never going to draw the defence to full stretch both sides in the fashion Melbourne did to us and lets not forget...in the style we were once the best at.
Even Brett Tate sucked here (show me his Warriors highlights video) he was so talented however he didn't trust his wingers to catch ball, and played a self preservation game.
Dean Bell was a big part of the problem. He didn't think recruiting centers was all that important and that stupidity has remained till Kearney came in.
Now we have the luxury of debating several depth Centers like this fellow.
Hiku and Beale will provide the ability to stretch the opposition the full width of the field, they are true Centers.
Seeing the ball beat the man game after game will be good for Kata and Gelling to watch.
Kata has started passing the ball a little, getting him sorted needs to be a priority longer term, if it so happens AG picks up on Center play better than Kata so be it...but I have niggling doubts since Gelling has come from one of the best ball distribution backlines in rugby league along side some pretty well respected NRL and ESL players at Wigan.

He's a cult hero, super-league champ, who needs to be in the FG team.Didn't really know where to put this photo but put it here since Gelling supposedly a centre....... Perfectly timed photo aye..... Not sure who 16 is could be Sims................
Kearney needs to grow some balls and give him a proper shot.

Not my sort of thing but most of this generation and a few before it love a social media hero to laugh at. This is the same generation that made an idiot like Johnny Danger a cult hero for being nothing other than an ignorant twat and an obnoxious prick...

Hmmmm. Peta Hiku played a whole game with his shorts on back to front and we won. Does that mean he needs to do it for for the rest of the season?

The dude can't even put his pants on the right way? No wonder they get pulled down every week
