Like I said he has done very little tinkering over the 20+ games so far this season, in the Bradford game he messed up the whole backline when giving Roby a rest.
Overall he has been fairly consistent, having Walsh and Lance missing big chucks of the season doesn't help the cause though.

1 - McDonnell
6 - Wilkin
13 - Manu

Just saying...

Forget Wheels, its pointless to even try.

There's only two sensible options for me.

1) Play WIlkin at 6. He has experience there, has a kicking game and playing him along side Walsh should hopefully help improve this side of his game.

2) Play a youngster like Charnock.

I agree on those 2 options, perhaps give Charnock a game against against Wakefield to see how he fits into the team structure.

I highly doubt Charnock will play this season.

Wheeler will play 6 on Friday alongside Walsh.

And who will do it the week after?

Gary Wheeler really is on his last chance I feel. Any sort of breakdown now resulting in a lengthy absence will bring his Saints career to a end..

The sad thing is you'll be right

And where will wellens play?

In the real world.

No way would I ever play wello 6 again. It just doesn't work as he can't play there.

I would pick Wilkin there this week alongside Walsh, I think wheeler time has come and gone and unless we are in dire need I wouldn't pick him at all.

We've got enough backrows to cover Wilkin in sia, flash, Manu, greenwood, Savelio, Thompson etc

My only concern with Wilkin at 6, I think he takes over Walsh a little and I feel Walsh likes to be the main go to man.

As Brown stated; Wheeler is the best standoff at the club, so pick him there and let him prove it or not. He should be given at least three starts before any judgment is made.

when was the last time he made 3 appearences on the bounce? He's not up to it

Best stand off at the club that can't get a game when Walsh has been out injured.

How can he be up to it when Brown picks a cart horse such as Wilkin in preference? He's not been out because he's been injured he just hasn't been selected.

And he's behind Wilkin (shamefully) for a reason - for every blinder he has, he has a totally anonymous game.

We all remember the step and inside pass for the Roby try in the first game in the season, great bit of skill, but can you remember anything else that game?
