I hope the lad has a stormer than he can come into contention for the Wigan game.

We will need him if gas o brien goes back.

That could be a possibility because Myler's injured and Atkins was injured in the leeds game. Depending which way Smith wants to go with selection he could put Ratchford in the centre's meaning O'Brien will be needed in there halves. Unless he puts Chris Bridge back in.

Think I'd rather have Wheeler, O'Brien's not shown that much for me. His handling's shocking!

I don't think I've ever seen a scrumhalf drop the ball as much as O'Brian or throw so many poor passes. I don't think I'd keep him to be honest but his goal kicking could prove important

O'Brien isn't good enough - far too many simple errors in his game I reckon.

It's the kind of thing you'd like to think could be coached out of him

I wonder how much Real Coaching goes on these days, is it mainly fitness? two of the best coaches who players seem to identify with greatly are Mark Aston Sheffield & Daryl Powell Brits! not saying they are at the top of their trade yet but they both work well.

It's Hobsons choice if Wheeler is injured again.

I wouldn't have thrown Wheeler in against Wigan anyway. With their style of tackling in derby games, he'd have been lucky to last 10 minutes.

Doesn't look like he did.

Hemel smashed them and Wheeler wasn't mentioned in the match reports.

Carl Foster was playing as well.

Danny Yates will be a year older by next season and so will have had a little extra time to physically mature.
It may be that he and Charnock are seen as adequate back up for the fist choice half partnership of Walsh and, errrrr, Wheeler?

O'Brien tweeted something about a scan today. Not in relation to Wheeler though.

Let's hope we don't find ourselves without any halves at all for the Wigan match.

Played really well at the weekend though. Directed the side well along with Wilkin, and the defensive side of his game impressed me. He's not the biggest, but his technique is perfect.
