I'm siding with you, Yed. I think this could be his biggest mistake as Warrington coach so far. I think he has been to complacent with certain teams so far with resting players when they didn't need to be (Catalan away as a prime example) but to drop Myler, which means that the league's potential best hooker is playing scrum half, is a huge brain explosion.

Pray to God I'm wrong by 4.15pm tomorrow.

I back Smith fullly but can't see how Mickey Higham's wayward passes are going to help us?

What would i do as a Leeds player ?

Target Briers, put some big hits in if possible take him out the game.

Monas is a 7 if i'm a pylon painter

Lets just remember if we lose tomorrow it may not be because Myler didn't play eh

Tell me that Jon Clarke, Vinnie Anderson and Micky Higham are better players than Myler and i might come round to some peoples way of thinking.

That goes both ways though. If we win tomorrow it won't be because Myler didn't play.



If anyone can man manage a player through this type of thing then I imagine it is Tony Smith but it'll take a big effort for Richie to raise his game in the playoffs now IMO. And that isn't a criticism of Myler.

Out of interest if Catalan is the prime example which games are the other examples?

Everyones jumping the gun here and saying Monas is sh*t at 7. We dont know yet, but Monas may still be 9 and Clarke at 7. God Help Us!

So either way we're screwed.

Didn't Smith drop Danny McGuire for a Leeds Cup final, and they lost?

Crusaders away when he rested Morley. The scoreline might have been high, but in the first half we were really sub standard. At this rate resting players looks likey to have cost us second place on points difference.

Am more worried about how we are going to contain Leeds then Myler not playing.

Its only 6 points with one game to go so thats not the case.

Don't know, don't care.

Im with you Yed, Myler brings much more to the team than Higham does so i think it is the wrong call. Im sure he has his reasons for Myler not playing but Myler is the only person who will run into a gap like against Hull on friday. Also when we make a break 9/10 times Myler will be in support so we will miss that tomorrow.

So a game where by your own admission the "scoreline might have been high" is the next best example of how resting players has cost us.

If anything cost us at Catalans it was Smith not going with his preferred tactic of sending all our traffic at McGuire, Sherwin and Carlaw. But I guess he was saving that for the semi at Widnes - was that a mistake also?

As an alternative view I might point out the health and fitness of our squad the weekend of the Challenge Cup Final and two weeks before the players commence is such that Smith has to make decisions such as not picking Richie Myler. Perhaps the resting of players, who may well have been struggling through matches with niggling injuries, might have put us a good position to push for trophies on two fronts.

That was Darryl Powell. Smith's worst call for us (in the eyes of many) was picking a patently-unfit Senior in the final against Hull.

how .easy ,he has end of ,thats why hes the boss and your not thank god

Where he also went with a propless bench of McGuire, Dunnemann, Poching, Jones-Buchanan, with Barrie Mac out of the 17 because Smith had to play his eccentric power-games. Leeds lost, btw.

hello valve

I'll remember this when Higham does one of his many unsuccessful dives for the line on last tacle in the last minute when we need a try to win

hiya

lets get a few things sorted out on this post ,myler is better than highan vinnie and clarke ,better at what,tony smith is one of the best coaches in the game and has turned the club round ,so he must be doing something ok ,cup final again ,still in play offs and good chance of getting to old trafford ,what more do you all want .could understand if we were like a salford or cats ect .the bottom line is the boss dosnt think the same as you tools ,higham clarke and vinnie are better suited in his opinion than myler in this game ,get over it .

Ooer. Get her..

you tell em !
