Who's this Wheeler guy,never heard of him.

Gary Wheeler is a dream we all had but can't really remember.

gary wheeler is class, trust me hell be a future international

He'd have to be fit for 5 minutes for that, undoubted talent, but biscuit bones ( and muscles)

In what position?
And what time frame?

To be fair, he was quite 'large' when he played against our boys for Blackbrook.
Still a helluva player though (then).
Scott Moore is a different kettle of fish altogether. I didnt think much of him at U16's. Didnt stand out anyway - But a monster now!



Just as a side issue - Blackbrook had a blonde lad in the same team, but at around U14's at the time.
Cant remember his name, but he was clearly well ahead of Cloughie etc and treated like a 'star' by the coach.
He played against our lot (Leyland Warriors) in a tournament final at Leigh Easts ground, and then again at Knowsley Rd during the half-time break at a Saints v Quins game. Tore us apart!
Anyone know who he was & what happened to him?
I dont remember him being distinct by U16 age.

Could have been Nick Reddyoff, what position was the player you are referring to ?

I think he was stand-off - Cant be certain though.
Quite a thin lad, who didnt give the impression of being anything special. But our lot couldnt lay a finger on him!
The thing i remember most though was that he seemed to get personal coaching during the breaks, away from the rest of the team.
The Coach of our boy's said he'd been marked for big things already.
Be interesting to know what happened to him.

Like many a promising young sports star, probably discovered women and beer.

I think the difference in size of Scott Moore before and after his loan spells is astonishing.

You're talking about Dean Mcgilvray 'Deano' who is now at Salford. He was massive at junior level. Centre he was.

Just checked his profile on the Reds website.
Certainly looks like the same boy. Ta for that! Been wondering for ages what happened to him.


I'm surprised he didnt make it at Saints though, cos he was almost untouchable as a junior player.

ok Yoda

You mean like lean mean players like moore, wilkin, KC, hargreaves and cloughie?

They have stayed pretty injury free this year.

He played on the wing at Academy level and wasn't massive.

HTH

TBF to the lads with the kits they wear these days its no wonder their bellies look bigger than previous years, even Paris Hilton would look like Bibendum if she had to wear a small child's shirt.

Good point but I don't see many lardos in the dire team apart from harrison and perhaps carvell. Or even the goons apart from Feka AKA "Free Willy".

Do you mean that he has been tucking into the pies after training this year?

Of more concern with Clough is the fact that he hasn't yet signed a new contract, should have been signed up ages ago for me.

Give over, it's not like anyone else will want him.

He's holding out for more doughnuts.

His contract up at the end of this season?

Was told tonight that he has accepted a new contract and he is just waiting to go in to sign it. This is from a very reliable scource. i.e. relative.

If true, great. We need Cloughie.
