That's an excellent backrow.

I'm sure Joel, Lockers and Hoffman are quaking in their boots for when we face Saint's.

Seriously though that's a great HB combination if you can keep them both fit. Plus the best starting frontrow in SL in my opinion as well. As i say it's just a shame for you that those two good elements of your team are paired with two not so great one's in your backrow and backline.

Joel got shown up In the four nations,he's a flat track bully.
Hoffmans a workhorse who had a very ordinary last season.
Curly top puts a shift in when tackling, inconsistant with ball In hand can be good.
Nowhere near as good as you think they are.

From what I've seen I'd have him at Wigan, his only fault is his injury record. If Rogues said it then Ive no reason to doubt him, I've got a lot of respect for Brian and his views on the game.

Rogues doesn't rate him though, it's people at the club that do

Although I didn't see much of Wheeler play last year (neither did you Saints fans ). I am aware of what a good player he is, I'm just still under the impression that he's a standoff as opposed to a centre. It's just a case of getting him fit and slim (according to a few on here).

He started at stand off, may end up back there, but a couple of years at centre won't so him any harm. Him getting fit and staying fit would be a start though

Spot on, but I still think I'm right but you know if I'm wrong I will hold my hand up.
It is true that Wigan were looking to sign him last year (for the 2010 season).

Anyway we've just signed another Wigan based halfback from another Superlerleague club close by, so let's see how he goes.
