Quote: SomersetSaint "He really is one player that needs to be sent out on loan. We are getting no idea of whether he can make it at SL level or not, and at the minute, as you say, it appears he is heading for the exit into championship oblivion. Showed great promise in half a game against Wigan, and apart from that hasn't shone. At least he has had opportunities, and Saints can be fairly certain that when he goes, he isn't going to come back to haunt us. Will go well at Leigh for a season, and then be snapped up by Wakey.'"
Wheeler, by the standards of the day, is an utterly outstanding talent and should have been a GB regular by now. There is clearly something not quite right in his makeup however and he hasn't advanced his career even slightly in 3 entire seasons now and has been a crushing disappointment so far this season. He's heading towards the exit this time next year when his contract's up unless Brown can squeeze some life into him. My big fear is that being booted out by Saints might be the kind of rocket up the backside that he desperately needs and he'll haunt us in a Leeds or Wigan shirt for many years to come...
