Wheeler is a talent we all know that but his problem is his fitness and attitude to being a proffesional and looking after himself?
If Wheels has been offered a new contract by Saints and he's turned it down to sign for Wigan then he's a bigger Judas than Connelly.
If Saints are not offering him a contract then good luck to the lad were ever he goes.
Any of the above is a gamble as his fitness is a joke

I know we are looking for a 6 so maybe we just cutting our losses on wheeler.

Is Hohaia going?
If we could get Anasta on a Two year, I think that would be great. He might be looking for a longer deal, though. I think that would be the right length to bring in the young lads, especially given he could slot into the back row if/when they come good.

To be fair though, I'd like to see Charnock given some action this year. Given that is a problem position for us, I don't see us leaving him out for long.

As I said previously Travis Burns is being targeted by Saints.

Sounds like Brown has given up on him.

Is Burns out of contract

My problem with Burns is he likes a ban! Has been quite dangerous with the ball when I have watched though

Dirty player but a good player.

Got to say my feeling is that we should get rid based on his fitness alone. But if someone who has been publicly named by the coach as our best 6 is happy to sit on his backside for 5 years and not do his best to get match fit then without a doubt he should be gone asap. What sort of message does tolerating this sort of behaviour send to the other squad members particularly the kids?

I think leaving Wheeler out is fine in fantasy world, but if he has signed elsewhere we may still need him if injuries come along.

Where I am surprised is that Warrington have not been sniffing around, they are in need of a halfback at the moment.

I'm surprised anybody us sniffing around based on his fitness and these attitude related rumours. Can't imagine Wane tolerating that at all.

Nope, he's contracted to the end of 2015. Given he's hkrs current vice captain, I'd be surprised if he's going anywhere.

Unless wer're getting transfer fee money from somewhere... (Even then you'd hope were not paying a fee for him!)

George Williams is also contacted until the end of 2015.

And given our chairmans rant in the offseason about supporting young British talent as opposed ageing marquees, if we were to splash the cash, where would it likely be?

What about Mellor from Widnes?

Is he OOC? I would definitely take him, always been impressed when I've seen him.

Not ooc, his contract runs til the end of 2016, but since were now supposedly after players who are in contract, I'd rather pay a fee for mellor than burns or Williams.

Burns is the best of all them.

And do you think Wigan will let him go?
Especially as Green and Bowen will in all probability be leaving at the end of the season.

That is just too easy, I consider myself above such bait

I'm sure a deal could be struck! Same as any player really

Surprised were not being linked with Dobson (since that's what usually happens) - according to someone on the wire board they are holding talks with him, where would that leave myler?

Hopefully nowhere near a saints shirt

I believe he'll be named in the 19 man squad this week, whether that means he will play I don't know.

I'd publicly push for Syned. You wouldn't be surprised if he had lost some affinity with Salford and, with all due respect, Saints seems like a cracking place to be right now. You may spark a bidding war that we don't win (Warrington), but we'd be no worse off.

Marwan might not want to sell, but if Snyed was adamant for a move, there's no point in having people around who'd rather be elsewhere?

I'd say the absolute last person you want digging their heels in is koukash. All a bidding war would do is make him want to keep Sneyd more. I don't think what Sneyd wants on the matter is as important as the headlines of bringing the prodigal son home

I wouldn't be surprised if he's lost affinity to Salford, but he's an option for 2015 when he's ooc, there's no way koukash is letting him go next year after the hype - he's already stated he will be at Salford next year

With Hampshire ,Mellor and alike to accommodate you will probably lose one of them.

You have a glut of talented young halves that's just the way of things sometimes.

The attraction of coming to a flair team and being groomed to take over from Walsh
will also appeal.
