I must admit I didn't notice at the time until someone at work mentioned it but Gary Wheeler's celebration seemed pretty muted after scoring. Odd given it was a good try that also appeared a match-winner.

Maybe he is a true team player and doesn't feel the need to jump up and down after scoring a solo try? Or maybe he was just too knackered? Or maybe he was wise enough to know just how much Saints had fallen apart and that there was still way too much of the match left to be celebrating at that point?

Who knows. I can't say I noticed. I just noticed the fact that he was one of only a few players in the last 20 minutes to actually be alert and working hard.

Maybe Wheeler was wondering if the ref would go to the video ref to check how far offside he was at the ptb.

To be fair, he would only have injured himself celebrating.

I wonder if we'll all abuse Wheeler as much as we did poor Kyle when his move is announced?

He's a quite lad and I'm not surprised one bit he didn't celebrate.

He's not the kind of person to give it the jumping up and down rub it in your face football style celebration. Had it been in the last minute of a huge game v Wigan/Wire and he had scored the winner i'm sure you would see a bit more excitement and celebration. As it stood we were under huge pressure and he probably didn't want to end up looking like a tool.

As for this signing for another club talk unless it's the NRL or a huge offer elsewhere (not likely) I can see him being at Saints for the next few years.

There is alot of talk of Wigan being interested, but I'd be surprised if they have offered anything yet. Ball is in our court till september. He can agree what he likes with Wigan unofficially, but he can change his mind at anypoint after that as it will not be official.

If he goes, then there will not be the same as Eastmond as we (the club) have held our fire on this one due to injury, hence why I'd be surprised if Wigan have offered anything as they will be just as aware of his injury record and having maxed out the cap on Tomkins they may have less room to offer something based on academy potential.

I'll bet with all the messing about the RFL and Wigan did, half Tomkins earnings are probably not touching the salary cap. It certainly won't limit their squad as it hasn't this year.

Maybe he was thinking about helping the homeless. Or rescuing cute and cuddly puppies. Or clearing landmines in Somalia.

He denied having any approach from Wigan or being interested in going to Wigan when asked about it at Gardner's forum last week. He said he had no idea where the rumour came from but that it is just a rumour. He also said that Saints had yet to approach him about contract negotiations.

To be fair, he's hardly going to admit to being tapped up by Wigan to a group of Saints fans, even if he has.

Wigan should have a bit of room on the cap with Leuluai and Roberts leaving, together with Carmont retiring. I'm sure they are looking at all potential options in terms of half backs and centres. Wheeler potentially fits both those needs and could be available, so I'd be surprised if there wasn't some interest.

No doubt, but also they would have the same doubts as Saints over his fitness, so I would be surprised if Wigan have made an offer yet.
