I expect Gelling to be long term Carmont replacement with Thornley replacing Pat, although it may very well come down to who takes the opportunity best at centre as I am sure both will get a crack at it.
You could well be right, I put them that way round as I understand Thornley played a lot of his junior rugby at centre, whilst after seeing Gelling I think he has the attributes to make a better winger. His defensive positioning is still very iffy, which is why I wouldn't really want him in the centres, but he has an excellent work rate, good pace and is good in the air. I think the next 10 or so weeks will tell us more, if he can keep hold of the left wing spot while Pat's injured. More performances like last week please Anthony!
