Learned comment from The Don
Here's hopefully a final note
Wello is a modern great, the local lad made good
He plays with his heart- even if his legs are a little slower
He is certainly making mistakes recently
I don't think that the Captaincy has helped him at all, in fact its weighing him down
I think he probably needs a break, but with all the injuries he is soldiering on
Send him away for a week while we play London Skolars and lets get the real Wello back
We need him
I don't think anyone will argue with most of that, I'm doubtful if you're right about the captaincy weighing him down or him needing a break though, we've only played 10 matches and 1 warm up, unless he's carrying an injury he should be at match fitness by now.Originally Posted by SAINTSGUS
I'm too pretty to be unlucky
Nothing wrong with Wello, and at 28 he'll be pretty much in his physical prime.
The problem is that with our pack being so depleted our opponents are able to make ground and put pressure on our backs at levels that they just aren't used to, particularly down the left where Meli is being targeted.
When we get a front row back the mistakes and misses will dry up.
The only problem for me at the moment is that he is making mistakes, which is something he normally doesn't do, but it's something that happens even to the greatest of them from time to time. He's still about 20 mistakes short of the 2007 version of Brent Webb.Originally Posted by Billinge Lump
He went through a spell like this in 2003 when he was absolutely awful for two months but he come out the other side.
I think we all appreciate he isn't getting any younger but he's only 27 or 28. There's another couple of years, no problem, but I can see him moving up to the pack, a la Veivers, before his time is up.

Nowt wrong with Wello tonight was there? Meli knocked on a coupleof times but otherwise had a good game, was good to see the players patting his back when he did the good things.
