Nope. Potter preferred to put him out then pull him out, no doubt undermining his confidence in the process.

Wheeler hasn't looked a step out of place, cracking player and will only improve. Easily SL standard.



The jury is still out on the other two I suppose, but I tend to feel the same as you.

Wheeler is the better of the three, but where is he? He misses far more games than he's available for.

Not true this season actually. He was tackled over the hoardings at Hull KR and continued to play with stitches in but they became infected and so he missed a game or two. He got a wrist injury in training and that is why he is missing at present. How serious that is I don't know. But had he not ended up over the hoardings at Hull KR, he would have so far missed two games, which many of our players have this season. Meli alone has put in a good stint of injury and now Wello will be on his third absence, no doubt.

There was a time when Eastmond appeared to be made of glass, but not this season. Wheeler is more than likely having a bad run with injuries. It's his ability that was being questioned, and for me he has shown he can mix it at this level already.

I do think people are a bit harsh on Foster I think the problem is injuries (& maybe Potter). If you think about left centre I think Foster would be about 6th choice.ie Soliola, Wheeler, Dean, Flannery and perhaps even Wilkin ahead of him. It does seem that whoever is played their gets an injury, & with Roger M out forcing Lomax back in on the wing it was a recipe for a c*ck up, and that, unfortunately, is what occurred.

Foster really needs to improve physically, it will help his game no end, he is just too small for the intensity of SL.

This thread is to morons what UV light is to a fly. Talk about feckless.

Just out of curiosity, where was Flannery this evening? I don't remember mention of an injury ....

i agree and you can add bryn hargreves to the list as well.

He made it worse when he took Foster off by putting Pryce at centre - he was worse and doesn't have the excuse of inexperience. At least Foster tried!

He should have put wello at centre, pryce at F/B or even moore at centre and pryce at S/O.

Scott Moore is pi55 poor,not good enough where as Wheeler does at least have a bit of class.
