It wasn't a knock. It was a muscle tear. Jon Wilkin has just had one too, to his calf, and he is on crutches. Should he be bouncing back in a couple of days as well? Don't be silly. If it had been a knock, he probably would have missed one match or played through the pain.

If he has yet another muscle injury, the question needs to be why he has so many, he's way past unlucky. Not a pop at Gary at all but a serious question for the conditioning and medical team!

I suspect a lot of these problems are to do with asking kids to perform at SL level against physically mature and experienced pros before they have matured physically themselves. If this is the case we can expect Wheeler's tally of appearances to begin increasing from next season.

Says who? You a qualified doctor with inside knowledge on what his injuries are?

LMS back for this week?

Yes

Could be, BJB is a definate six weeker at least, Lee Smith has another week FWIH

Should be an interesting game Saturday. A team with no props versus a team with no half backs. Will saints allow Sinfield to run the show.

On Friday's showing, definitely! If the attitude changes before Saturday then maybe not.

According to League Express a Gary Wheeler played at No4 for our reserve side at the weekend when they beat Quins.
This is confirmed on the Saints websitehttps://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/650rl

He couldn't recover from a muscle tear that quickly surely?

At least he might be back with the first team for the leeds game?

He's been out since Cardiff, so that's four weeks. I suppose the length of time he spends out of the game would depend on how bad the muscle tear was? I dunno, frankly. Glad he came through the u20s game unscathed anyway! Maybe we will see him in action at Leeds.

There is an injury and then there is a Gary Wheeler injury. One is real and the other is as real as my affair with Beyonce.

unless shes cheating on me, thats unlikely

This is what I liked from the match report;

[iThis was a much better performance giving the Reserves a much needed boost after a disappointing loss at Salford. Man of the Match was Adam Swift whose enthusiasm and running at the line always had Quins worried, but he was pushed all the way by [sizeGary Wheeler [/sizeand both starting props Forster and Jordan Hand making his starting début at this level.[/i
