FORMER Warrington Wolves centre Anthony Gelling was making his final appearance for the Cook Islands on his old stomping ground last night.
To mark the occasion and to pay tribute to him, his Kukis teammates honoured him in the traditional way by performing a Pe’e Haka.
Gelling, who spent one season with The Wire in 2020, marked his final game for the Cook Islands with a second-half try although his side were beaten 32-16 by Papua New Guinea at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
