GML said yesterday dont rule out him staying



surely he cant be wrong

The folks on the Wakey board don't seem overwhelmed by the news.

I appreciate his efforts, always seems to give his all but he's no big loss.

Sure i can be.

And it was Tuesday so at least i know what day it is

I’d be disappointed to see Scott leave tbh.



Not the finished article but he doesn’t have many bad games & he’s still young for a prop.



Might not look such good business in 12 months time when we're trying to replace Vella.

I agree with Wildmoose on this. I think Scott has a lot of potential. I'll be sorry to see him go.

Nothing has been officially announced yet and I hope there is a chance Scotty might stay but he will probably go. It's a shame the club are letting go of a good young prop forward and I hope he isn't being made to go so they can sign Mason. If I had a choice between the two I would definitely take Wheeldon who has his best days ahead of him. Mason on the other hand is nearing the end of his career and although a great player in his day, is just looking for a final big pay packet. He comes with a load of baggage and seems to have a poor attitude which makes him difficult to coach similar to Paul Cooke. I know some people would say that he was average and won't be missed but when called upon he would roll his sleeves up and give 100% whereas players like Clint Newton can go missing at times but people don't get on his back because he is supposedly superman. Don't get me wrong I think Clint is a great player but not the superstar some fans make him out to be and has bad games and makes poor decisions at times and not forgetting that awful final pass at the KC. All teams need players like Scott Wheeldon who will turn up and do the graft. He is a similar sort of player to Jason Netherton although Nev maybe edges him in defence, so if the club can keep a player such as Jason why can't they keep Scotty.

If he was on the same sort of wages as nev is on then great, but I'm lead to believe we paid over the odds for scott wheeldon when we signed him to attract him, now the kid has become a very good squad player but he was never going to get the same terms offered 2 years down the line as a rotation prop who doesn't make the squad every week. It would be unfair to ask him to take a pay cut when he has offers on the table from elsewhere also, sorry to see him go (if he has) but good luck to him

There is always a chance he may accept a pay cut to stay as a while ago I was told that players were being offered reduced terms to stay next season. Also this has been why in the last off season only a handful of signings were made as Justin was restricted with his finances. This is only what I've been told, not saying there's any truth in it.

hope you're right as I would like to see him stay just not on the money he was on though as we have other priorities really, a good stand off and an impact prop for me

It all comes down to the cap in this instance.

Mind you Scott might have made his mind up to go after Rovers hummed and arred over his retention.

Players have to put themselves 1st
