Quote: Rogues Gallery "I'll get shot on here for this, and it's not the first time I have said it but here goes.

I've seen nothing yet to convince ME that Wheeler will ever make a top class Superleague player.

Have I been unlucky in that when I have seen him he has been average (and I'm being kind)?

However, I know of quite a few (scouts, coaches and people inside the game) who are much more knowledgeable than I, who rate him.

In fact Wigan tried to sign him this year.

Am I wrong in my assessment of him?
And if so why.

Oh, I think that Pryce would make a superb running loose forward.'"


He is a young player who came in, and didn't look phased at all. He had some solid performances, with the odd touch to show he has potential to step up.

That is all though. He is a young player with potential, but its early days to say how good he could be.

People tend to get carried away. Every time a young player comes in and does ok, they are mentioned in terms of being a future England international.

Quote: Offside Monkey "He's a young lad who's come in and played mainly out of position. He's defended well in the centre channel and looked very assured with ball in hand. He has made breaks and scored tries.
When he had a run of a ffew games in the centre, I think most people who watched him favoured the team with him in the centre and Gilmour in the back row.
Not bad for a lad of his age, especially knowing how critical fans can be.

The only question marks I have is over how injury prone he is and that I haven't seen much of a kicking game from him.

I don't know what you expect from a youngster, but I'm happy and I'm sure there's plenty of Pie Eaters that would be very happy to see him in the C&W. Past that however, Wheeler has a sort of subtle assurance in his game which is giving a lot of speccies hope that he'll be a great player in the future, some even reckon he'll be better than Eastmond.

[iI'm not a particular fan of quoting stats, but his tries and try assists per game is around the same as your young Sam Tomkins. [/i'"


I'd fully agree with that too.

Though given your assessment of him, which is correct, in that he's looked assured, defended well, made breaks but hasn't shown much of a kicking game or the ability to direct a team around, hows that differenct to Pryce? icon_wink.gif

I think Pryce has all the qualities to be a great full back - he would need to work on the positional aspect but he is ideal for a full back, running in broken play, joining the line, supporting breaks and providing the link in attack.

He's big and strong enough, decent under a high ball and decent tackler - he would certainly be far more dangerous than 'the snail' going forwards and he could easily make the england No1 shirt his.

My guess though is that he wouldn;t have the appetite to play at 1 and learn a new position.

Pryce is garbage under the bomb though.

Wellens (Lomax)
Gardner (Foster)
Gidley
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce (Wheeler)
Eastmond
Graham
Moore (Cunningham)
Fozzard
Soliola/Flannery
Puletua
Wilkin

Clough
Roby
Maurie
Dixon/Ashurst/Bryn/Cunningham/Magennis/etc etc

Tricky when you get to the pack. Flannery would be fighting it out with Soliola for the No.11 for me. Clough to come off the bench with Maurie allows for no Bryn (sorry Bryn).

I'd start with Moore. Cunningham really should only be used as backup now. Forget Eddie salivating over him ever winning MOS, his form just isn't up to it now. Crunching defence yes, and still dangerous near the line, but we need to blood Moore now and allow Roby to try and mature from a 'scooter' to a distributor.

Solid, dependable < Monstorus defender who can knock out props for fun

Flannery has a job on showing why he got those SOO calls IMO
