| We can all now feel sorry for Richie and make reasons for this move but ultimately the half backs over the last couple of seasons have been dreadful and it needed changing. We couldnt go into next season with the same pairing.
Myler is simply not good enough for Leeds.
He is a nice bloke and theres been no shortage of effort from him but his kicking game, and general play was sadly lacking.
Now lets hope Gale can stay fit and gets the ball when and where he wants it and can get us moving forward. Lui and Gale are better than we had last season in my opinion but only time will tell.

| Two options here. Myler can stay, and maybe alongside gale may be able to focus on the stuff he's good at, rather than play making.
The alternative is that he leaves. In that case, McClelland is back up and will get chances to shine over the season.
I think with a different partner myler could come good, but I doubt we have signed Lui if we weren't planning to use him long term.

| Whilst I think many recognise that RM isn’t the half we need to get us back challenging, his effort has regularly been higher than most of his colleagues. I’d like to thank him for that.
The levels of expectation of him when he joined we probably unrealistic, he was trying to fill the shoes of an all thine great, and his skillset didn’t really match the needs. That’s not his fault, it’s the fault of those who signed him.
If he stays he will probably drop down the pecking order, whereas he could leave and be first choice elsewhere. It’s up to him, and I wish him luck whatever he chooses.

You’re right that it was the fault of those who signed him, can’t really fault his effort and commitment.
I was really annoyed when we did sign him, because it was symptomatic of the club’s attitude at the time.
Most of the signings we have made under KS (in terms of the longer term ones rather than stop-gaps) have been more like it. Mellor is an unknown - he looks solid and brings more athleticism to the pack, but it will be interesting to see what value he brings at Leeds.
Ava, Martin, Gale I’m pretty happy with. Lui is extremely skilful and I’ll reserve judgement until next season. McLelland was a good shout too by the looks.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we lost Merrin and gained Prior.
We have a few more players to leave, I think including Myler, in the off-season and quite a few more next year to complete the transformation project and as more Academy lads graduate.

| There was a pretty big clue in what Agar said yesterday. Something like, I don’t mind if we sign a couple more 30yo’s. Basically saying we need experienced leaders to bring the kids through with the right habits and attitudes.

That's the age we should be looking at and not project players.An experience nine and prop could do wonders for this team.

I thought Agar spoke really well at the presser yesterday, open and honest. I agree with maybe signing a couple more experienced players, if it means the promising young lads we have, get the guidance and experience they need.

| Myler probably played only a handful of decent games since he has been with us.
Funny how Lolohea who was made a scapegoat when he played alongside Myler is now looking like a decent player with his short kicking game and passing.
Who was Myler`s half back partner when he played for Catalan btw?

Think his partner was Luke Walsh in Mylers last season at Catalans.

| I think he does have to leave now - for his career and for Leeds' salary cap.
As someone posted earlier, can see him going to promoted Toronto actually (if they're allowed in).
Lolohea is a good player in parts going forward, it's his D which was horrendous at times for us, and his conditioning/pace isn't where is should be.

Lolohea was never a scapegoat mate he was just spineless and s&*$.

| Thanks I hadn`t realised it was Walsh he partnered.
I actually think Lolohea would have been better with Lui.
Mark you are probably right but he does seem to have improved his defence since he moved to Salford.

| Hastings would make most partners look better. Myler would probably go very well in the same team.
