rumours of fielden being at hull next year, dont know how true it is.

He was for this season, but I think the intention is for Wheeler to grow into the centre position (along with Shenton next year hopefully).

Good point. Wheeler looks the best out of the current Saints crop of youngsters that are around the first team. Soliola has played back row for the Kiwis before so no problem for him there. According to whispers the Shenton deal is pretty much done, just hasn't been announced yet

I though Wheeler was a stand-off? He doesn't seem to have the right build for a centre to me.

He is/was. He's performed really well in the centres for us though - nice step, good hands and can finish. He's not played much if any 6 in the first team. He may well have been pencilled in for a switch to 6 when Pryce leaves, but I'd like to think it would be Kyle/Gaskell in the halves and Wheeler in the centres in the fullness of time (if we can keep hold of Eastmond).

Lots of water to go under the bridge before then though.

Looking forward to seeing this Gaskell. Read lot's about him over on your board.
