Genuinely concerned about our in-play kicking game and a leader in the halves.

I can't see Wheeler being on much money. He cannot guarantee he will even pull on the shirt through his glass bones and balsa wood muscles. I think he is a squad signing, a punt on someone who can fill in if he's fit and others aren't and if we're(/he's) lucky might make more of it and if he does maybe an extension will come in the future.

He's on just under an average SL salary, and a modest increase on his last Saints deal ... Guy must have a hell of an agent is all I can assume

Wheeler will (in time) be our next leading half back. Assuming he manages to keep himself alive.

You can all dish wheeler but I'm sure he'll have many of you knockers going all quiet just like Bridge did last season.
Saints will find things very much harder without him.
Imo Wheeler was the most talented player Saints had.
Okay he has had more than his fair share of injuries but I'd say partly because he has been too busy with the ball at Saints over the last few years as their other halves have either been shat or injured.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing Sims and Clark, I'm looking forward to seeing Wheeler the most.

Going to be a genuine problem next season i think.

We have
Ratchford Bridge GOB Myler and Wheeler, how can we still have a problem?

Listing the players at the club who could play in the halves doesn't solve the problem does it?

I'm trying desperately to work out if this is a serious post or not? It's almost Sally levels of sarcasm, but is it sarcasm at all?

"Saints will find things very much harder without him"

We never really had him. He barely ever played.

"IMO Wheeler was the most talented player Saints had"

Again, is this for real? He apparently had great potential as a youth player, but has never, ever even remotely threatened to show that in the first team.

"he has been too busy with the ball"

The only ball he's ever been near at Saints is the birthing ball in the medical centre.
