get rid, he's had enough time and many chances to cement his place in the squad, let one of the young guns come through in his place

I love the way Goulding is judged by different standards by some on here. He has to play really well in every game otherwise he seems to get a thread like this. If Goulding plays well those that continually criticise him are nowhere to be seen and if they do comment it is all down to his centre. He scores a great try like against Leeds or plays really well and some Wigan fans say it is nothing special and he did nothing. However if he has an average game or a try is scored on his wing, even if it is 2 v1, then it is all down to him and is the fault of no one else. Yesterday he played with a bad injury for most of the game, constantly has the physio coming onto the pitch and has pain killing injections at half time, but what the heck that is no excuse lets criticise anyway.

Charnley has coneeded many tries by leaving himself stranded in no mans land and there is barely a mention. He knocks on quite a lot in contact and again there is barely a mention. He has played fairly poorly the last few weeks and again barely a mention. This is not to criticise Charnley, who is a great prospect, but if Goulding had done any of those things and played like Charnley has been playing there would have been a thread like this weeks ago. Goulding scored 25 tries last year but they were all walk ins accroding to some and anyone would have scored them. Charnley scores much the same tries, I have yet to see him score one that I dont think Goulding would have scored, but it is because he is better and more threatening. You really couldnt make it up.

At last! Someone who agree's with me!

Exactly. We all know the quality that Gleeson can produce and Gouylding benefited from it hugely last season (ala Gardener (sp?) for the last 6 years)

an excellent centre will always make his winger look good, just the way it is

Whoever plays wing to Joel Tomkins is going to suffer, he can't pass to the right which is a cardinal sin. You would think all professional players can use both hands? Also does anybody know what Joel is going to do with the ball when he has it? I don't think he does. Don't get me wrong hes a great second rower & tackler but he's no centre.
