Was rumoured when he signed his last contract, and had been rumoured again at the start of the year.

Would imagine he's the target to replace Blake green, whose supposed to be returning to aus at the end of the year.

Mixed feelings over it all.

Don't ever play him again and don't let him train if that's the case. We've wasted an incredible amount of time, effort and money on him to this point and got nothing in return.

Re: Wheeler : Sun Apr 13, 2014 7:26 pm  

strange still. Can't imagine wigan offering much cash with his record. Perhaps this could be why he's been left out of the team in recent weeks?

As i've said for a while, i fear him leaving Saints only to star for one of our great rivals.

Wonder if Rogues still thinks hes over rated?

I'll tell you what if he does go there and they get a prolonged injury free run out of him you've got to ask questions about our physio approach to managing his injuries.

Re: Wheeler : Sun Apr 13, 2014 7:31 pm  

If he does go to the scum, let's hope his time here is made to look like a picture of health & vitality in comparison.

Why? We've had players go through nightmare injury runs (soliola on his first season, Roby last season) and come out the other side.

If he has a prolonged injury free run, it'll be because saints giving him the boot gave him the kick up the backside he needed to correct the things he needed to correct (like the rumoured problems with his game management)

Re: Wheeler : Sun Apr 13, 2014 7:38 pm  

Saints have given him every chance, he owes us as much loyalty as we've shown him.

Of course its possible Saints have tired of his attitude re training and have told him he can look for other clubs

Either it is true or a last desperate throw of the dice from Wheeler and his agent.

I predicted this in the off season, story circulated that another club was in for him,
with him being OCC. Suppose nobody would buy interest from Cronulla
twice in a row.

The only problem with this is should have been done on the back of a red hot few
games rather than just one.

True or not he can go. Five years is too long to mollycoddle anyone.

Two words George Williams more than adequate replacement.
Learn from Walsh/Hohaia and cover half back and hooker short term.
Step up when one of them goes.

Goodbye Garry.

I like Gaz and got bags of potential but if he goes, he goes. Can't say I'd be to bothered.
