Who are you? 7,000 posts and I've never seen you post on the Saints board? Name change I guess?

If Wheeler is so good, why isn't he playing first team rugby?

firstly you don't see me post on the saints board because old chap i support widnes,

secondly, wheeler has played several first team games this season with quite a good try scoring record to boot. he would certainly have played more but for injuries.............

Yes, we do. I think we forget that with our back rows.

Something that struck me about the Aussie in the world cup, was how well the back rows helped ease the workload on the props.

You've got to win the grind before you worry about the fancy stuff. You should have 3 solid backrow and 1 impact in your 17 imo.

Yes, otherwise these people



don't get a look in.

I hope that's not just because he's big. If he's got the skills for centre, he should stay out wide. If he hasn't, maybe he should work on them.

I think we're too eager to push big lads into the pack.

I think that is where he'll end up he's big, fast, great ball skills, hates taking a backward step and isn't scared to take the ball up.

I'm guessing your only talking about English SRs with that statement?.

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, not everyone wants to sign every Hull KR player.

Sounds like an international centre to me

So your saying you'd have him over Puletua(s?) who is a St Helens Player, I wont mention Ben Galea for us because it's a pointless argument with a pointless person.

Do HKR fans self importance know no bounds?

Watkins is a talent for sure but this season he has struggled somewhat. He's tried a little too hard and made some errors. He's also been hampered by having to play in the right centre which is not his natural opsition. He will be Senior's replacement for Leeds in due course (and hopefully England).

But so far this season its' all looked a bit of a struggle for him overall with a few touches of genius. They're handling him with kid gloves at Headingley and are probably doing the right thing.
