I think that's a fair assessment, although I think Myler was pretty safe under the high ball too.

I think the most significant thing with Myler is that he linked up well with Gale. They both preferred to attack down that left edge, which was the main side we'd try a set play down. I think with Gale gone, Walker actually has a better chance of learning to play off Sezer and Austin. We need to switch the focus of our attack now to the right hand side with Newman and Fus (if they play there). I'd like Handley to start coming insde a bit more as floating winger, the way Chris Ashton used to play for England RU. I think he'll have limited opportunities outside Sutcliffe in comparison.

Think Myler has done a great job as a makeshift full back but I honestly don't the club should renew his contract at the end of 22. Full back is a hugely important spine position and looking at it objectively I'd say he is a clear second best to Tomkins, Welsby, French, Hardaker, Connor, Evalds and Coote for starters. I'm hoping young Walker and get in the side and force his way up that list, but if he can't we need to recruit a top full back. That's the only way we'll eventually close the gap on the very best.

Myler’s really brave and seems a good bloke. Very skilful too.

I probably wouldn’t renew him next year either. Had a good stint with Leeds but might be time to call it.

Put it this way: which of our direct competitors would sign him off us?

Why not see how Myler does this year before deciding? Hes been excellent at 1 pretty poor in halves but i see no reason to let him go.

Quite. He's a good quality player and an important senior team member who is a good exponent of the team's culture. I'd be very surprised if they allowed him to leave.

Fair points. All I'd say is that he is going to be 32 next year and nearly 33 if they give another year. In my view he's not going to get better, and full back is now a position where the best athletes play. It is going to be a fascinating battle if Walker can shrug off his injuries.

Myler should get the #1 jersey until Walker can prove himself starting with his fitness and durability.
If Myler is not performing or gets injured then Walker can step in to cover.
Myler was my player of the year last season and fully deserves the starting birth.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the club extends Myler’s contract, and if on the right terms fair enough. He does offer some utility value.

I just don’t personally rate him as highly as some of you here.

He’s a very good clubman but I guess his form this season will dictate whether he stays.

Don't think there's much chance of us moving him on if he's still in the FB slot by August, say. And not much more even if walker's in there. He might not be a top notch full back but there aren't many better stand ins knocking around SL

Would agree with that. If Myler’s happy to play a supporting role at supporting role salary, no problem.

We either need a fit and firing Walker ready for first choice Leeds FB by 2023, or an academy bolter (not sure who) - or a new signing. Or Fusitu’a maybe.

I still expect Walker to replace Myler if his foot holds up and he doesn’t suffer new injuries.

If Walker is fit and doesn’t get past Myler next season, I don’t see his longer term future at Leeds.

Me too...!!

It's going to be an important year for Walker and a bit of competition from Myler could give him the lift that he'll need . Same with Myler it could keep him on his toes with Walker breathing down his neck and the coaches will use this rivalry too .

Not sure whether Myler or Walker will be FB this season, but Broadbent deserves the opportunity toback up FB /centre /wing. He did ok there last year and needs game time to develop.
