Either way his days look numbered.

Either he's injured again and thats his last chance gone, or he's not getting picked because he's not up to it even when Walsh's injured.
The final possibility is that he's not taking care of himself professionally, as NB alluded to in preseason.

Either senario suggest his time has gone at Saints.

Regardless of how talented Wheeler may be, if we are looking to have a settled team then there's no point including him for obvious reasons.

Re: Now for Hudds : Sun Mar 30, 2014 8:18 am  

I would have thought once Percival is settled into the back line this season it will the introduction of Charnock for next season.
At the moment Lance is doing enough to keep Wheeler out of the 17.

For the Huddersfield game I would like to see Joe Greenwood getting one of the bench spots.

Re: Now for Hudds : Sun Mar 30, 2014 8:43 am  

Thompson and Greenwood look the pick of the young forwards atm. Those two should definitely get in the team and keep their place for Hudds.

Walker and Richards have done well but I think LMS and Amor will come in for both.

Savelio looked good with the ball but he didn't seem quite up to speed in defence. He'll probably come back in a couple of weeks.

I think laffranchi has been average so id drop him
In favour of one of the youngsters:

Amor
Roby
Masoe
Flanagan
Soliola
LMS

Walmsley
Thompson
Greenwood
Manu

a nice brutal battle between Wire and Hudds today would be nice!

Re: Now for Hudds : Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:28 am  

For consistency, whats the possibilty of 2 players injured and 2 players suspended just like us.

Re: Now for Hudds : Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:04 am  

Sorry but all this wheeler talk sseems agenda driven. Nothing in it at all. He's a fine player. We need 3 halfs to give decent cover for a season.

I'd disagree with Thompson mate. I think Walker, Richards are ahead of him in terms of back up props. Walker and Richards seen to hold their weight more in the tackle. Thompson runs like a train and gets the meters as he's pretty fast for a prop but on impact he's virtually stopped in his tracks. I like all 3 of them but IMO they just ahead of him.

Greenwood has come on leaps and bounds. Brown wanted him to be more aggressive in both attack and defence and looks like he's added that to his game so far this year.

No agenda, but it's a reasonable question to ask why when Walsh and Wilkin are out, he's not featuring?
