Your misquoting me, I never said he was better than Gidley, I said for the 3rd time, IMO he has been the best centre/stand off in a Saints team since Lyon.

He isn't a centre in the purest of terms neither is Bridge or was Jiffy, Whittle, Blake and as I said earlier Jamie Lyon. I've seen Wheeler play to that standard. Whether he can hit form with it or face years of stick like Bridge is partly down to how bad he wants it and how long he can stay for enough to play at that level.

Yes I did make the error of saying he plays right side and as I recall he did play left.
Thanks

is anyone else sat back enjoying being on the outside, watching one of 'these' arguments?

I must agree with the duck though Bridge is one of the best centres or half backs in the league & his consistency is beyond doubt.

He's not the only rough diamond in the world, I remember the same being said of Bridge when we signed him, this is an almost parallel signing. A bit broken, glimpses of good stuff but the collumn inches are more around injuries that anything else.

I must admit, I'm not convinced on his fitness, but that said, people convinced on Solomona's, Toa Kohe Love's in the second stint of for about 12 months, Adrian Morley's. People said (Warrington fans) good luck getting 10 games out of Morley, to Salford fans, they got 25, and he's got 10 years on Wheeler.

If we sign him then I will reserve my judgements of Wheeler until he has shown what he can do in a wire shirt. If he goes the season without injury interruptions it will just show the lengths that some players will go to in order to avoid pulling a stains shirt over their heads.

Hi Rubber Duckie, I've tried once to explain but things seem to have gone awry, I replied to Morrissey admitting that the original post was poorly worded in truth I'm embarrassed, the RD domain and superior rumour part was meant to be tongue in cheek in fact it was bad judgement, in no way did I intend to insult, give sarcasm, offend you or anyone please accept my apologies.

As you will note I am a new poster unused to the way of things on here not yet able to work out how to use the smilies, so please understand that prior to registering I was unaware of anything on the forum only the usual tales around town, so while away in June when I was told Agar had signed it was news to me together with the Warrington had sorted out a half back for next year statement, what I failed to make clear on my disastrous post was that if Wheeler had/was signing then that would concur with the information I had been given, once again my apologies.

apologies are not necessary. welcome aboard the board and be prepared for more of the same.
It's like a ghetto on here, you find 3 or 4 forming an allied pack. Then like wolves they tear into your every word....
its all good fun really.
Just avoid direct insults and pretty much all else goes.

I didn't take any offence to what you said...I just gave some back.
it'll not take too long for you too see what's what.
Me I'm dammed if I post and dammed if I don't... ill go a week without posting ewt and still read posts referring to me.

Oh don't fret, I was only being playful with the wording of your post. Some hints when using this forum:

Roy Asotasi is not and never will be a good player. Even if he scores a hat-trick v Wigan don't praise him.
Chris Hill is god, and is Les Boyd's long lost son
Gareth Hock is a thug but if we sign him he becomes the lovable rogue enforcer we've needed for years
The 1986 premiership pack would have won any modern warfare conflict just by arching their eyebrows
Richie Myler is not a half-back but his wife is quite nice
The Smiths are the finest band there ever was or ever will be

Last one might be personal opinion, I grant you. Welcome to the jungle.

i have it on good authority wheeler has been signed as a direct replacement for waterhouse.

Thanks md - your post has raised a chuckle that has lifted my whole day and it's only half eight!

Quite brilliant for this time in the morning, you must have been working nights to be sharp at 7

or up with my 11 month old daughter since 5am watching pepper pig.
