Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Offside Monkey"He's a young lad who's come in and played mainly out of position. He's defended well in the centre channel and looked very assured with ball in hand. He has made breaks and scored tries.
When he had a run of a ffew games in the centre, I think most people who watched him favoured the team with him in the centre and Gilmour in the back row.
Not bad for a lad of his age, especially knowing how critical fans can be.
The only question marks I have is over how injury prone he is and that I haven't seen much of a kicking game from him.
I don't know what you expect from a youngster, but I'm happy and I'm sure there's plenty of Pie Eaters that would be very happy to see him in the C&W. Past that however, Wheeler has a sort of subtle assurance in his game which is giving a lot of speccies hope that he'll be a great player in the future, some even reckon he'll be better than Eastmond.
[iI'm not a particular fan of quoting stats, but his tries and try assists per game is around the same as your young Sam Tomkins. [/i'"
I'd fully agree with that too.
Though given your assessment of him, which is correct, in that he's looked assured, defended well, made breaks but hasn't shown much of a kicking game or the ability to direct a team around, hows that differenct to Pryce?  icon_wink.gif" alt="icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" /> |

I think Pryce has all the qualities to be a great full back - he would need to work on the positional aspect but he is ideal for a full back, running in broken play, joining the line, supporting breaks and providing the link in attack.
He's big and strong enough, decent under a high ball and decent tackler - he would certainly be far more dangerous than 'the snail' going forwards and he could easily make the england No1 shirt his.
My guess though is that he wouldn;t have the appetite to play at 1 and learn a new position.

Wellens (Lomax)
Gardner (Foster)
Gidley
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce (Wheeler)
Eastmond
Graham
Moore (Cunningham)
Fozzard
Soliola/Flannery
Puletua
Wilkin
Clough
Roby
Maurie
Dixon/Ashurst/Bryn/Cunningham/Magennis/etc etc
Tricky when you get to the pack. Flannery would be fighting it out with Soliola for the No.11 for me. Clough to come off the bench with Maurie allows for no Bryn (sorry Bryn).
I'd start with Moore. Cunningham really should only be used as backup now. Forget Eddie salivating over him ever winning MOS, his form just isn't up to it now. Crunching defence yes, and still dangerous near the line, but we need to blood Moore now and allow Roby to try and mature from a 'scooter' to a distributor. |

Solid, dependable < Monstorus defender who can knock out props for fun
Flannery has a job on showing why he got those SOO calls IMO
