If wheeler can stay fit, he's worth a spot in the centres. Percival is also injury prone, jones is of use in the pack and Turner's form is info distant. If he can prove he can stay fit and string some appearances together there (which he won't) , then, maybe talk about disrupting the haves for him.

I agree with all of that.

Lance is doing very well this season enough to keep Wheeler out of the No 6 spot. Walsh is doing fine organising the side with Lance excellent in his support play.

With Walsh doing the organising and ball playing, it gives lance more of a running game which has obviously been his main threat for years. Last two years he had to try and ball play which isn't his game

I'm an unashamed Wheeler fan but obviously there is a big concern about injuries.

However, I'm pretty sure that the lengths of his absence are over exaggerated as when he recovers he is not an automatic choice to get back into the team, unlike some players in spite of his ability; so he his not chosen until there is an injury to someone else in a position he is suited to playing. He has sat out the last couple of games prior to Hudds whist fit.

I'm pretty sure that this is part him not making 6 as "his".
But the fact remains he has been fit to play many times but not chosen - sometimes even when we are way down on numbers which makes me think he is not one of Brown's favourite players for reasons best know to Brown. I wouldn't drop HiHo but he would be a better choice over Wilkin if Lance got injured.

It would be a tragedy to let him go and then do a Matty Smith on us.

I can see it now Smith + Wheeler playing in pie land and never to get injured again.

I doubt is give wheeler another deal unless he took a Very poor contract or a performance related contract. We can't keep paying a guy to sit in the stands season after season in a salary cap sport.

I'm a big fan of wheeler but IMO enough is enough, if he goes on to be a star at another club then so be it.

I'd offer him (less than) minimum wage + decent appearance fee.

Brilliant player with ball in hand, a glimmer of space and makes plenty of tackles but a one year at a time deal on a reduced pay but with appearance incentives is the only way i'd still have him at the club.
As many have said we can't carry him for much longer and if he does go on to do better somewhere else then so be it.

Not that he would take my offer mind.

yeah, but who'd offer him anything better?

I'm sure someone will take a punt on him but I think he'd struggle to get more than a 1 year contract anywhere

If Cas are losing Snyed, they'll be on the look out.

And if Salford really are after Dobson, we should move the earth for Snyed, he's all class

Do you not think Sneyd is very much like Lee Gaskell? albeit a much better goal kicker.
