???????????????????????????

Actually thought this was very sensible play. Any drop goal attempt would of led to a tap on the 20, with Leeds steamrollering downfield with us trying to grasp at them (aka the semi final last year) - instead we handed the ball over, with a set defence, and on their own goal line. Almost worked too.

If that's the case what is the point in naming him in the 19?

Because he failed a last minute Fitness test so Lewis Charnock played the first half of the u19's then had to leave the game to be 18th man.

It was decided by lunchtime Friday that Wheeler wasn't playing.

What we are talking about here is flexibility and versatility that just comes from being a good rugby league player. Wello defended at seven but where Ablett (and Lauatiti last week) normally get to run at a small half back Wello wraps them up foiling one of their big offensive plays. In attack Wello did play more of a running role but when required kicked well as a half. JLo came in and did a bit more handling at first receiver. The biggest plus was Lance who looked like the playmaker we thought we'd signed. Between them they managed the team around the park. A team is not about individual displays but the sum of the constituent parts where they all play for each other.
