Stop trying to force it Tony, it hasn't and never will work

2nd'd.

I could not fathom Bridge at today. Poor performances all around, though.

Yaaaawwwwnnnn. No, they don't but I know nowt about half-backs despite 40 years watching them, so I'll leave it to the self-satisfied, self-appointed experts on here to explain Myler's worth.

Myler doesn't work with either.

2nd half bridge and ratchford swapped.

And we looked better but not like we did on our 10 game run without Myler in the halves.

Myler is rubbish and Asotasi wants sending home. Consistently awfull!!!!!

Myler doesn't work with O'Brien either....yet people on here say mylers Warringtons best half back...ok :/ warringtons biggest ego more like!

this

we need a no 7 who can control a game and look like he wants to win. Id love a Luke Walsh!!

For goodness sakes, let's not start the scrum-half debate again.

We had a half-back partnership in Rathford & Bridge that wasn't just working, but working well and had guided us through our best form of the season, with some superb rugby to boot.

Yes, we do need a new half-back but why try and re-implement the failed partnership of Myler & Ratchford in the biggest game of the season?

Spot on.Don't know about players suffering from brain farts,Mr Smith must have had 1 making that choice.

I'm not slagging either off, I'm saying as a pair they bring the worst out of each other.

Quite so, and it's a half-back [ipartnership[/i. It is a unique relationship on the field and irrespective of the individual merits of the two individuals, they have to work well in tandem. And Myler & Ratchford, don't.

Once Smith made the change we looked much better. Myler was excellent in the second half and Ratchford looked better in the centre role.
