If Wheeler does come, then it's down to our medical team to assess him. What's important is his fitness status going forward, not what has happened to him in the past.
I remember a lot of concern when we signed Nick Fozzard for 2002, after he had had two broken arms, various operations and had hardly played since 1999. The verdict was "great prop prospect but made of biscuit". That was a good signing and he went on to have a very good career.
Another example was Simon Grix a few years back. His first few seasons with us he had injury after injury and I remember talk on here saying that we should probably tear up his contract, yes we had heard he was highly rated but if he was never fit then a waste of salary cap. The club stood by him and he proved himself a class act in the end.
I think with Wheeler, it's a gamble signing. It's the type of signing where someone like Hull KR, Castleford or Wakefield would take him on and if he stayed fit he would do very well, then you can bet if we were struggling for leadership at halfback next year people on here would be saying why weren't we alert when Wheeler was available, he would have been the perfect solution. Similar to how last year nobody was campaigning for us to sign Liam Finn.
