Just play Wheeler at centre, if options open for him then he can be moved to six. Its not really a big deal.

At the end of the day, the best stand off in the world played most of his career at full back. So its hardly detrimental to Wheelers development, game time is the most important thing to him at the moment.

Wasn't Matt Gidley quoted somewhere last week saying he played all his junior rugby at half back? At senior grade he's been one of the best centres in the world over the years!

You have got to take your opportunity when it arises and make the best of it like Wellens did at FB.

Make the position thats presented to you your own. He's certainly got the attributes to make a good centre.

He started off at 6 for Newcastle before Matty Johns came along.
