Well done TL............finally some praise!

If he's in the 23, then he's gonna be called on this season, the least we can do is back the guy.

Last season is the past! Leave it there!

Waste of time signing him then.

Remember he's a 'project'.

Your easily pleased then......great contribution in costing us a try....He will never be good enough for us..simple as that.IMHO of course

Lee is quite evidently good enough for SL as his number of appearances would suggest. People should take off the blinkers when talking about him, he maybe ain't the best but he is nowhere near as bad as many make out.

He's always had the potential, and occasionally we've seen glimpses of what he can do.

The problem in the past has been his decision making and being called upon to play in a variety of positions with alot of pressure on him. Washy to a degree got this pressure last season, and had a poor year by his standards. Hall too, can be prone to taking the wrong option.

Fans are way too hard on him, and expect miracles when he's on the pitch. When Graeme Horne was coming through, he was supposed to be the next big thing and 'better than his brother', and its taken him years to cement a place in the 17.

The point I'm making is that he seems to take alot of stick compared to other players that have come through. A settled position (13?) could see him really kick on, get his confidence back and be a quality plyer for us for years to come.

Maybe he just needs his settled position to flourish!

Thierry Henry was a 'floater' till Wenger set him down.

Must admit don't get the signing of Maloney and Sam Moa whilst letting Wheeldon go. 2 maybes if we're lucky against a proven SL young prop?

Maybe Wheeldon wanted to go? Wouldn't suprise me if KR offered him silly money to get one over us. Wheeldon was crap his last season for us anyways, after showing great promise the season before.

wheeldon didn't have the best season last year, maybe a move for him was best for all parties.

Hardly, had a chance and didnt show enough to warrant keeping!

Proven, but cant get in Rovers team, although that might be down to the fact Morgan didnt sign him
