Wheeler has been dual registered with Rochdale, along with Jordan Hand and two others, so I would imagine he will be playing for Rochdale at the weekend.

We have two halfbacks. They need time and coaching and confidence, along with some forwards who actually run forward.

I think Wheeler is at Rochdale for their game today, so could well be in the running next week.

Hopefully will come in for jones because he is a liability in defence

I,m wondering if thats partly down to Meli, never seems to help Jonesy out and gets exposed a bit.

Funny that. If true that would be the second young player to suffer defensively as a result of playing alongside Meli.

I just cannot wait until that man leaves our club.

I have to agree with Saints fan on this one. Everyone who has played next to Meli has looked exposed in defense.

Lets face it Meli is all attack.

With out Talau that side has been exposed vastly more than numerous combinations on the other wing.

We don't half miss Willie Talau, good player he was.

Left in 2008 and still hasn't been replaced.

Might be able to see an interesting comparison of positional performance if Foster and Makinson are both playing Full back.
