    Default Gary Wheeler to Warrington

    1 year deal

    What a charmed life he leads...
    “It's been 31 years, since 1974, we last won a major (trophy and) Andrew Johns and Natty (Nathan Wood), our two oldest players were born in 1974 so it's a little bit spooky,”

    There is a common trait in teams at this point in the season that they seem to sit back and wait for somebody to win the game for them. And we had too many of our players waiting for someone to win the game.”

    "interfacing at the ruck"

    "winning the go-forward"

    "i thought we won the collision"

    Why has it taken so long to come out? If the rumours are to be believed Mylers's off to Hull KR on a season long loan.

    He's 25 and due to injury has never managed more than 12 games in a single season for us. His time is up and if another club wants to waste cap money on someone who spends the majority of the time injured then let them. He doesn't exactly light the place up when he plays either. It's a shame because he always had potential but I can't see it ever being fulfilled.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    I was a big supporter of Gary, I really thought he had just as much as Tomkins. However I was wrong. I hope the lad makes it with Wire.

    I presume this is a wind up.

    Good luck to him, but 73 games in six seasons, never played more than 14 in a year, you can't question saints' loyalty

    The fact Wire have offered him just one season suggests they're not that confident in him either.

    If the Warrington staff can keep him fit and he only misses a few games, does that mean their is something wrong in the Saints camp when it comes to injuries n getting them fit.

    Or does it mean that being forced out of his childhood club lead to Wheeler finally getting his backside in gear and start to do the things he is supposed to ...

    I wouldn't really blame St.Helens' physios etc. He's had all sorts of different injuries so it's not down to one exercise they're making them do. Plus how much has come from actual contact in games? If a lot of his injuries have then you can't really blame them, that's just bad luck.

    Would certainly be another big question mark to go along with Eastmond (who doesn't seem to struggle as he did with us) and the annual Saints injury crisis.

    Some people just fall on their feet in their lives. I'd have suggested Swinton would have been a better fit. Mind you, we said that about Matty Smith!

    Whatever your opinion of Wheeler is, to come on in the aftermath of the Grand Final in a cheap attempt to belittle him, mock him and knock everything he hasnt done is a cross between pathetic and moronic.

    From 2008, when all Wheeler did was fall down, Gary Wheeler put his hands up to be removed from the pitch on a routine basis. We have all learned a hell of a lot from him that we can take away and apply to our own lives when trying to earn money for doing •••• all. Whilst he played no part in the end of the season run-in, (or the start or middle for that matter) he did have a great 20 minutes against Wigan once before being taken out; he has done a great job not just with the ball, but in leadership and teamwork without it.

    I've seen better players in my life and I've seen better leaders, but in the 15 games that he has played in 7 years he has done enough to deserves better than a thread that is merely aimed at getting people to laugh in his face.

    Pathetic!

    I think the thread is to say 'we won't miss him',which we won't.

    What is worrying for him, is that the deal with Wire seems to be on a pay as you play basis, if the stories are true.
