Yep.... You haven't disappointed

Pity the waste of skin did, though

People keep asking if he will stay or go but in an interview with smith awhile ago, he said he's not been offered a new contract and doesn't know what plans he has for next year. So why would he suddenly re-sign him? There's been loads of props bopping about free that have been signed all over super league, so they were available and we did nothing. If smith had a prop on his shopping list he would have got one by now. Unless he has had a prop lined up all a long and just hasn't announced it yet then I'd say Westwood or Harrison to prop and Ben Evans back in the fold and that will be it for next year.

I'm generally wary of stats but look at big Roy's contribution to any game at random and you'll see damning evidence of a workrate that would make Father Christmas' working year seem like slave labour. On the other hand, open your eyes, pay attention (blink and you'll miss it) and watch him "in action".

He may well get quick PTBs but when you're taking the ball up half a dozen times a match that's hardly an advantage. Allayed to this, he never promotes the ball in the tackle, when he does decide to pass he has all the ability of a RU flanker after a lock-in in his local, he has the stamina of a pound bakery season ticket holder and is about as vocal as a mute monk during a vow of silence.

Think that covers it. I'd rather put Kevin Penny on a lard and KFC diet for 6 months and line him up at no.8 next year.

Players take time to settle in the modern game. We will really only get to judge him at the end of his 4th year.

IF we were signing a top of the range British or Antipodean prop it's perfectly plausible that the guy involved and his current club would rather keep it to themselves until after their season is over. Not that I'm expecting news of a big signing (despite a rumour I heard a few weeks back), but just saying.

Isn't part of the point of having a quick play of the ball that it comes on the back of having made metres and left the defensive line scrambling a bit? This has never ever ever happened when Roy has had the ball in hand.

Foolish, Wires71, very foolish.

For a poster who's attention to detail is very good, you've lapsed on this occasion.

You omitted the zero between the 4 and the t.

I'd've expected better from you.

Nevermind him going the person responsible for signing him + Wheeler should go end of this season.2 monumental terrible signings.

like swapping a juicy steak for a frozen value burger

Don't be so cruel on Millington Towns88...

I was gutted with wheeler as he does have shed loads of potential, and he's had some incredible games (at saints). But he has played in a massively disappointing squad this year and yet again more injuries. He is injury prone so never gets a good run of games, but I would let him go seasons end.

is this thread a joke?



a prop forward that tried



thats because as soon as he comes into contact with another player he jumps on the floor and jumps up again as fast as he can to see if his number is on the subs board.



he has absolutely NO impact from the bench



he has been beyond hopeless...... totally gutless..... afraid of the collision, afraid of doing more than 10 mins a game.

he has been a disgrace to the prop forward profession.

easily the worst prop ive seen in my time supporting the wire... no heart, no fight, no effort..... NOTHING

its ok though.. its not like he is our highest earner..... OH WAIT

Roy is a poor poor reflection of the investment, the worst overseas player in living memory. Whereas England is cheap!?
Yet off scratch, I'd have Roy over England but £ for lb I'd had England over Roy.
