Inexperience that's why.

He didn't know what to do, i felt sorry for him, the cover was flying across and the chances are if he had give the ball to Armstrong he would have been in the same position, and probably been knocked into touch.

Wheeler is another Hardman-esque runt. He'd be stopped by a strong wind, let alone a proper Super League player.

Me thinks you are one very envious and no doubt a very sad individual. You've obviously developed your ability to recognise rugby talent from the (no doubt soon to be ex) Warrington Coach.

What's even more obvious is that you have never seen Wheeler play.

The only runt here is you ... ... I do genuinely feel sorry for people like you.

Give over. I am a Saints fan for a start. What I said is true he is physically capable of being a top rugby league player at the moment, whether he's talented or not.

I'm willing to bet you £20 that he's not at Saints in 5 years.

There are some very harsh statements on here after just his second match, i thought he played very well and not even the best senior players never make some mistakes. I would definitely give him this season to see how he goes.

I missed the game as I was away.

Can someone tell me what role he played and how well he got on with it? It was mentioned somewhere he came on for Gidley?

He came on for Gilmour, in the left centre, who got one in the mouth early on.

Played about 50-60 minutes and did well.

He came on for Cunningham originally, Roby went to hooker and he went to stand off. However, Gilmour got injured about 2 minutes later, so Wheeler had to go to centre, which left Wilkin at stand off.
