Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"Is it just me or is this just difficult to watch? He was once a legendary figure who I called Mr St Helens and used to argue till I was blue in the face with Wigan fans that he was the best fullback in Super League. His performances then went through a period of decay as he got older and the role of the fullback changed dramatically. So with this season bringing the first real opportunity for fans (And staff) to see the benefit of someone else playing fullback, he's ended up as an emergency half back. In just the two games he's played there, I've seen enough to say it's a mistake. He's too slow with ball in hand and he cannot defend in the line. Today Castleford tore enormous chunks out of our right edge and it's no surprise that it was Wello defending that side. He just can't get across quick enough.
His passing game today was the full spectrum. He probably came up with two or three assists with some tremendous short balls, but then he'd put balls at players' feet and was needlessly caught with the ball on two or three occasions.
So what happens when Roby and Hohaia return? Is Brown going to have the guts to drop Wellens? Or is he going to continue with the publicised plan and play him loose forward, ahead of Flanagan who was excellent today or ahead of a big forward like Clough or TP?'"
He did more than you. You didnt even make the 17
