Because he ain't a prop, he is to light. Netherton, however is a good squad player to have and never lets us down, he is much better as a scond rower operating wide.

At 17st I wouldn't stay so!

He doesn't conceed penalties, doesn't knock-on and makes 7 - 10 yards every drive. His main strength is in defence though.

He's our "Steady Eddie" - every team has one...

Wheeldon will push himself in as a regular in the 17 well before the end of the season, his performance against Celtic was very good.

He was solid, steady & dependable with his drives, took some massive shots & gave a few back. IMO he will only get better the more game time he gets.

Glad Scotty got a game and played well. Plenty of promise.

Netho has not done too much for me so far this season and against the big Warrington pack id be tempted to swop him for Mills on Sunday.
Wheeldon deserves to retain his place in the 17

I thought Wheeldon did really well, esp for his first start too
Definatly should make the squad before Netherton IMHO
and Lovegrove, well hes playing his way to that new contract hes after isnt he?

Thought Wheeldon did a decent job for us, some good runs and big hits, not a bad start from the lad. Not sure if he did enough to keep his place, I would imagine it depends on who is available up front for us next week.

Wheeldon does deserve to keep his place in the 17 without question.
With Regards Jason Netherton....During Justins tenure, on how many occasions has a fully fit Netherton been left out of the 17? Not many i reckon.

Think Netherton is one Justin's favourites and I think it's cos he's solid in defence - most notably in the early part of the second half against Catalans at home last season when him and Crossman were in the front row.

I'de stick with the same forwards for this weekend thought nobody let us down
