Gelling-gate is a thing...

Anthony Gelling was linked with Catalans last season before signing a contract to appear for Widnes Vikings over the next three seasons, we believe.

However reports of the Dragons desire to sign the player wont go away leading Widnes to issue a statement confirming that he is on contract with them and expected to report for pre-season.

He was a pretty decent player at Wigan a couple of seasons back and will probably not be too keen to appear in the Championship.

However a deals a deal and if he has signed with Widnes this could get messy if Catalans do want him.

My feeling is that his agent will try and get him out of his Widnes contract citing their relegation as a circumstance. If that fails I suspect Dragons will need to pay a fee to secure him compensating Widnes. But sport being sport I don't see us offering money until we need to!
