| Coming into the team, but being played out of position is a mixed blessing for him. He will be glad to be there, but frustrated he can't play in what he feels is his natural position.

Didnt say it wasnt. Was pointing out that playing poorly is playing poorly, and those kind of mistakes are nothing to do with playing out of position. Tackling, passing and catching are pre-requisites of all positions.

Yeah. I'd like our senior players to remember that, since they don't seem to be particularly good at two out of three of them at the moment.

maybe so, but that has nothing to do with whether Wheeler played poorly or not, and why he did.

I was at the game and I didn't think he played poorly. I almost fell asleep, mind you, because Saints were - shall we say - not at their sparkling best, but Wheeler played fine and in fact did a couple of superb moves for which he should be very much congratulated.

hey mate, Im not arguing whether he played well or not because I didnt see. All Im saying is that if he did drop a lot of ball, give possesion away and miss tackles then these errors arent anything to do with playing out of position. They are just errors.
As for Wheeler I havent seen enough of him to comment, hopefully he will turn out to be as good as people think he can be.

I'd suggest it could well contribute.
It did seem strange to me that potter wasn't scared of leaving the young forwards on the pitch for extended time, but,not only did he prefer Flannery in the centre (which may have been a more comfortable position for Wheeler) but even when Pryce picked up a knock and we were winning by a hat-full, he didn't give him a run at 6?
I trust Potter on this for the simple reason that 3 years ago, Tomas Bosc was a reserve winger for Catalan.

According to the stats he made 3 handling errors and 1 missed tackle.

| Quote: Carlos Alberto "Maybe Potter believes Wheeler offers more in attack than Armstrong?'"
Tom hasnt played because his contact states that 5 first games means his current contract is ripped up and a new one offered, the club are thinking this through.
Potter wants Wheeler to get some game time under his belt but wants to see him play full back rather than at 6.
Kyle may come in when fit but the club have had a couple of offers for reserve players from the other code (Via a well know R.L 'legend!!)

That statement is legally flawed.
