He is an investment. Full stop.

TS is nurturing him - making him see his weaknesses and working on that.

I can see many people on here complaining he will burn out if he was played too much.

The lad just needs time, which TS is very sensibly giving him.

At the end of the day its up to Smith but for me he's hasn't had a bad season at all but it needs to be sorted well before the start of the season, the Briers situation is more of a problem because even if the rumours are not true we will have to replace him soon, personally I would like to see Rangi Chase here.

He did play at Saints.

He was only draughted into the 17 on the bench because of the late injury to Higham, he was going to be left out if Higham hadn't of got injured.

Shame TS doesnt Nurture players like Kevin Penny then

with 7 minutes left, 5 points the difference we had the ball on our 30 yard line a kick down field for Penny To chase would have been a certainty a couple of years ago. alas we now have no pace and no outlet when we run up dead ends as we were doing last night.

Same Kevin Penny who doesn't have the same speed as when he broke in the first team?

we will have him back for 2012 season if you dont need him thanks,

This stuff about Myler being unhappy is just hearsay which has started on forums and been stirred up by other clubs fans so eventually it gets believed as fact.

Two years ago we wouldn't have been in this playoff game and we certainly wouldn't have been Challenge Cup winners. I liked Penny but he wasn't good enough to get past our first choice wingers, he scored tries but had weaknesses to his game, unfortunately for him, Riley and Hicks score tries and are safer bets.

Richie can come home for 2012 if he wants.

I wouldn't say I'm crowing... just giving my opinion on him. The times I've seen him for Warrington this season has certainly been no better than I saw at Salford. To be fair though... He should be better with the calibre of player around him in comparison.

One things for certain... I wouldn't be keen on him coming back. That's not based on anything other than the fact that I don't think he offers enough as a scrum half. With that in mind... anybody think he'd make a better stand-off ?
