Interesting that the St Helen's official twitter has denied that BOTH wheeler and Jamie foster are in talks with us. I've heard a little whisper about Foster earlier today of a pretty decent source whether it's true or not is a different story but you never know a suppose.
I'd be over the moon if IL managed bring in Wheeler seems a very decent prospect and gives us that versatility in the halfback roll.

Wouldn't want Foster.

Bloody snap!

Foster & Charnley would be an ideal partnership for the next 10 years.

Foster grew up a Wigan fan, would be ideal replacement for Carmont with Charnley moving to the centre?

Its something I heard a few weeks back, but id be very surprised.

Wheeler, would be interesting, Id like to see what Bitcon & Hampson could do with him. Certainly would add to the youth and skill of our squad.

That'd be a good nickname for Wheeler.

Wouldnt want Foster at Wigan, he epitomises average. Decent goal kicker but it ends there. I'd rather give someone like Ryan King a chance.

Like a said it all could be b0llocks but I've heard it on twitter a few times aswell as the source that told me. I actually wouldn't mind having foster he's young he's English and he isn't all that bad a player we could do a hell of allot worse considering what's available in super league with outside backs.

Foster has got a fight on his hands to be picked in the 17 at saints next year. Makinson, Gardner, foster and meli all fighting for the two wing spots.

Maybe we are signing Foster and just passing him on to Saracens? He would be class at the penalty challenge that is RU

Makinson is very good kicker.

It's a tough call for Royce with foster as he's worth 8 points a year with his kicking. His goal kicking won us many games last year but he's prob worse player with the ball than all our other wingers.
