Lol DSM, it's predictive text. It also put an on instead of in!
Still I like mild, my first ever pint, and it made you laugh, so it stays.
Mould was the intended word!

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

I think 'tipping the velvet' is more appropriate.

Re: Gary Wheeler Signed : Wed Oct 22, 2014 10:05 pm  
I don't quite understand the negativity around Wheeler and the confirmation of his signing.

Yes he's had injury problems but Saints in general have sufferred in that department so maybe the issue is with the conditioning, rehab and training he's received.

Yes, maybe he is another utility player but that is the way the game is going. The days of players like John Woods who you put in their best position and built the team around them are gone, sadly. The physical and tactical demands of the modern game mean players have to be multi-faceted and adapable, and that invariably dilutes their skillsets.

For me, when the 2015 season starts everyone starts from an even playing field. I'll judge Wheeler's fitness, form, ability and attitude the same as all the other players when and where it matters - next Feb.

Btw I do understand the benefit of having utility players but what we need is a specialist halfback with game management ability.

Until we get a top class one doubt we will get that elusive champion title.

Re: Gary Wheeler Signed : Thu Oct 23, 2014 9:26 am  
Interesting how a player gets slated for being injured, I assume it's frustration on the fans part rather than "blaming" the player.
Also interesting to compare our attitude to Grix and his injuries (summarised as "poor bloke, gutted for him") and the saints forum view of Wheeler (summarised as stealing a living should have got rid earlier).

I am bemused by this signing as I know its low risk but if it is to replace Myler (I know that may not happen) then it is a risk not worth taking imo! I have never seen the guy command a game for 80 mins I just dont think he is good enough for us.
