Quote: SaintsFan "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.

Quote: saintc "He was playing out of position'"

Quote: saintc "which doesnt make you miss one on one tackles .'"

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.

I think that what happens is this, although I may be wrong.

Only the top 25 players wages are counted for salary cap purposes. However if a player from outside those 25, makes a number of first team appearances (I'm not sure how many) then this salary is counted in the clubs salary cap allocation.

Maybe this is what St. Dave is eluding to, or maybe Armstrong does have a clause in his contract that takes him up to the next salary band if he plays 5 first team games or more.

Quote: Saddened! "That he played poorly? Granted he's young, but he knocked on a few times, missed tackles and passed to the opposition in a clear scoring position. He had a poor game, being young doesn't excuse that. I'm not suggesting we ship him off to Leigh just yet though..'"



??????????????????????????WHAT???

Quite clearly had a superb defensive game. I personally would put Meli back on the plane.

If this was the case, surely he wouldn't have been called up to be 18th man on Friday and someone else would have been?

He was down to play for the reserves, but was then called to be 18th man.

The fact is that Tom Armstrong is not good enough.

Steady. He's clearly not a superstar winger, but he looks worth a shot in the centres.

Wow they should sign you up as a coach.
To be able to tell that after a handfull of games is fantastic.
Come to think of it, were you employed by Wigoon on such a basis not too long ago?
