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?
