Quote: Asgardian13 "Yes, but in the case of Myler, he definitely [iwas not[/i good enough. I don't think he looked all that impressive for Catalans either. Either he has miraculously finally found his feet (in every sense of the word) or last night was one of the ones he gave to us occasionally - a top class performance - and he'll revert for the majority of the season.'"
I thought Myler was decent for us, he scored a lot of tries with good players around him. He got a lot of stick when he was here probably because he was signed for big money with an eye to replacing Briers, and he never became that sort of player, which started to be more of an issue in his final two seasons after Briers had gone.
It made sense for both us and him to move on, I would have kept him but salary cap pressures might have come in if he was one of the bigger earners. Also he probably needed to change his environment if he was going to improve as a player and now he's at Leeds it could be a great move in that environment, he's a similar type of player to Danny McGuire who added things to his game later in his career and stood up after Sinfield left, so Brian McDermott might see the same potential in Myler. He looked good on Thursday night.
Also for us, the players who replaced him (Sandow and Brown) haven't really worked out so maybe he will be remembered more positively now and if he goes well at Leeds we will ask what were we thinking letting him go...
