WRT to potential he has only just turned 27 a few weeks ago. For comparison Gale is about to turn 29, Matty Smith almost 30. Brough was 30 when he won MOS. McGuire whilst he scored tries for fun back in 2004-05, arguably was at his best as a more complete HB in 2010 when he was 28.

Whilst I understand others concerns about him because I've never been fully sold on him also, age wise Myler still has more to come if you compare to other HB's.

Thought myler at salford was superb , quite a few clubs after him when his contract finished at salford . Warrington paid a substantial amount for him. Fully expected him to go on greater things, this never materialised. Have not seen anything from him at Catalans to change my veiw. may end up going down the Aussie route.

If what I have read today (I think it was love rugby league),BMD wants Sutcliffe and Myler at half back next year. I think this would be a good idea if sutty can get better with his game management and learn how to put a team around the field. Myler would be the perfect foil IMO.

Not sure about anyone else but I would love to see this.

Im just not sold at all with Sutcliffe at 6. He should stick to centre now imo.good size, a step and good hands he could become a handy player there if we stopped moving him round positions.

Exactly. How many more games does he need at 6 for it to be realised he is simply a passenger in a shirt.

As would I. A lot of people have written Sutcliffe off at half back but I do think with time and the proper application from both himself and the coaching staff he could make a successful half.

Thing is, it's not a lack of application that's held him back. I used to think he could hack it at 6 but I'm a lot less sure now.

I think he has all the skills but he struggles to put them together but when he does he's an impressive 6. Saints Away and Wigan Home in 2015 he was untouchable and had people pencilling in him for the England squad.

He seems to be a confidence player, a couple of errors and his head goes down. This is definitely reflected in his kicking game as he either kicks 100% from every angle or misses a simple conversation and struggles for the rest of the game. If they put in the work to help eliminate the simple errors in his game and worked on his confidence I think he'd be a revelation.

Every time I have seen Patton he has looked good (minus the last 45 seconds in the cup today). I like that he kicks and seems to think like a kicker rather than just guessing what to do.

A tricky one really, I honestly don't think Lilley is SL standard and we can do better than Richie Myler too. Don't really know about Cory Aston yet.

I like moon hes not a traditional half back but he's talented and unpredictable.

Is he a long term solution I'm not sure but is there a lot of better options out there.

Not sure about Lilley yet could do with a full season at a good championship club.

A three year deal close to being agreed with Myler according to League Express

If we do sign Myler, does it suggest that the club think that Lilley is not ready or never will be?

He is still only 20 i think, very young for a half back in SL so maybe playing the long game. i'm sure he will get some game time over the next few years but probably won't mature into a reliable half until he is 23/24. getting another half in is a priority anyway especially with McGuire's retirement looming. I can see Lilley going out on loan (possibly Bulls again) for probably another year at least before he returns to the first team squad as a regular.
