| Quote: KaeruJim "Oledski lacks some aggression on the pitch, given his size. He also has the odd blunder in him. He is extremely young for a first grade prop still though and has plenty of time on his side.
I imagine he’ll make another appearance this year but even so should come back improved for next season.
What would be brilliant is if we could secure safety before the last couple of rounds, and then play some of the young lads who will be pivotal next year, once the pressure is off.
Hope London keep losing, no offence to them.'"
I would really like to get it wrapped up in the next two games, which is possible. This is for two reasons, 1. My blood pressure and being able to enjoy a few games at the back end of the season. 2. Id like to see some young kids get a run especially Mclleland

| He went to the right team in Warrington, where he had a monster pack to play behind and a half that excelled in doing all the donkey work for him, freeing him up to do what he does best, eye catching trick plays and support play.
Its not a failing on him that at Leeds we suddenly expected him to organise the team, run the attack, and come up with miracle plays from his 'arris as Leeds aimlessly chucked the ball at each others shins.
McGuire was always going to be an extremely hard act to follow, he could / can dig a team out single handed with his smarts and guile, so can Myler but nowhere near as consistently and certainly not for as long a period (2010 anyone?)
Hes looked a lot better since Lui has come in and took away the donkey work and the pack has finally realised it has to lay the platform for the backs.

| Quote: Him "I’d disagree with that. Most of my memories of Burrow are of his darting runs from dummy half rather than of classic half back play. Because of course he was playing alongside McGuire & Sinfield who were doing the half back jobs.'"
Yes. Burrow was a great player but he was never a consistent organising type.
To be honest, much of the flak aimed at Myler has also been levelled at Burrow in the past too. AP labelled him a 'flat track bully', perhaps harshly. Burrow could be a match-winner but it tended to be through individual brilliance rather than his kicking game or making tries for his team-mates.
The difference is that Burrow could rely on others to take the pressure off, whereas Myler has been paired with Sutcliffe for a large part of his Leeds career. No wonder he's looking better with Lui. I'm all for giving it more time to develop, especially as Myler is under contract.

| As others have said, Burrow was never an organiser, neither is Myler. Sinfield and latterly McGuire did that role when Burrow was playing. He was a far superior player to Myler, his kicking game was under used at times but was much better than Mylers. Don't agree that he was a flat track bully either, he often preformed when it mattered for Leeds in Finals.

| Quote: carnegiedweller "It was a typical Myler display really. When we signed him, I remember a post from a Wire fan saying he's the type of player that scores a hat trick when things are going well but when the chips are down he doesnt deliver the goods. Given how this year has gone, it's difficult to argue with that.'"
That could be levelled at most British half backs TBF.

| Myler isn't total rubbish, but he's not good enough for an ambitious Leeds side.
His lack of pace (for a HB) and terrible kicking game does it for me. Also hit and miss in D. He has good aspects to his game, otherwise he wouldn't have had the career he has, but not enough.
