if u were smith who would u buy matt orford or Richie Myler

id pick Richie Myler because hes good and only 18 years old

aye matt orford's not any good is he.

If we could get Myler that'd be ace. But we can't and won't.

Are you scottish?

why don't you ask me that on the murrayfield thread?

Simple answer is BUY BOTH !

myler, quality and young

So much for welcoming newcomers (or Johnny Come Latelys using Hitman's vernacular)

Nom de plumes don't count.

Myler, he's young, English and wouldn't swallow huge amounts of salary cap.
Not seen Orford play this year but as other people are saying it'd be nice to move away from signing a different Aussie halfback every couple of years, most of which turn out to be poop.

Everyone who wants Orford have forgot about when he used us to bump up his last contract i gather?

You remembered me. What a high honour indeed.

Anyhow, to be serious for a moment, it depends on Smith's long-term plan. If, for instance, he sees a halfback at 18 years of age in the Academy/reserves that he thinks could be the tallisman of the club for a decade, but isn't quite ready yet, he would probably bring in someone Orford-esque, in the theory that he could train closely with this kid and his experience would rub off on him,making him a better player when he is ready. There's no point bringing in a 19 year old from another club if you want one already here to step up.

On the other hand, if there isn't anyone here that Smith sees as taking on the long term tallisman role, then he would probably bring in someone to do that. Maybe not Myler, but someone of that mould; young, talented and eager to make a mark on the game/club.*

*Luke Robinson's quotations when leaving Wigan spring to mind there, for some reason.

Myler, would be a quarter of the cost of Orford.

Myler as I have never seen Orford play

Some Manly fans have set up a facebook group asking for Monas to be swapped with Orford immediately, based upon his poor form this season.

An ageing over rated Aussie...... just what we need.
