Wheeler's hamstring again they think...

We had recognised halves! Open to debate. I have real concerns regarding Hohaia. Poor kicking game especially from deep, hesitant and doesnt appear to bring any structure or organisational skills to the side. Hardly ever took the line on today happy to just drop telegraphed inside ball off his shoulder to a forward. Really poor last two weeks, expected more from an international quality player & needs to improve and fast.

I've said it from day one, good player but never a halfback.

His best games for us is when he has played at 9. He needs to step up these next couple of weeks until the cavalry arrives.

I've got a funny feeling jonny lomax will play Saturday.

Mike appleton tweeted saying probably not next week but Lomax back week after. Ade's knee looking more positive suspected minor damage to medial ligament.
Scans for Wilkin, Ade & TP tomorrow. TP could be long term.
On Wheeler "probably something and nothing".

You could play Johnny Vegas at 7 and still beat Widnes

Wheeler has just tweeted that he doesnt think the injury as bad as first feared. Also said he probably shouldnt have played.
Medical staff wont be happy with that but the lad probably feels he needed to put It after all the stick he gets about injuries.

To be fair - the club has been exceedingly patient with Gary. Some certainly would not have granted him a contract after the injuries he's sustained. I've supported him throughout but he really has to start showing some serious form THIS SEASON. Another year wiped out and it's going to be very difficult to defend the lad. I feel sorry for him. I really do. But League is a tough business and if he can't produce the goods then we really must look for someone who can.

If Puletua is looking at 3 months out we might as well write him off for the best part of the season.

It'll take him at least 4 - 6 games to get back up to speed. And there's the issue of confidence.

The whole season is a write off and has been since the day they drew a line under the recruitment. Two props, a halfback and a fullback light.
