I posted on here a few days ago saying that currently Richie is a very good player for us and one day he will be a class player for us.
He is not a Lee or Long, we will have to buy or bring through another player for that role.

Anyone who cannot see what a player Richie is and will be can meet me at dawn with their choice of either pistols or cutlass.
Thinking on, I will change that, they can meet Mrs FB at dawn and can bring any weapon they choose including a Cruise Tomahawk.

What a ridiculous post!!....

First off, was he actually bought as an 'organising half back'??.....Has Tony Smith ever said this??

Secondly, I hope he can be a McGuire Mark 2, because a half back running in 20-25 tries a season will be very useful....McGuire certainly has been for Leeds and Shaun Edwards had similar attributes at a young age for Wigan too.

Yes, we will miss Briers when he goes, but where is this thinking that Myler has to be his automatic replacement come from?....Myler will be Myler, a very good support half back, who scores lots of tries... The comparison with Briers is pointless, as they are 2 completely different players.

Absolutely right, but Mr Pennington can't see that.

I don't care if Myler ever becomes the "player we want". As long as he is the player that TS wants and the player that the team needs that will be good enough for me.

Myler is good at what he does... case closed!

Exactly what I was going to say. Right before Brett's last try, Myler told him exactly where he wanted him. He deserve far more credit than he's getting.

Agreed. Although, he needs a tighter shirt or something. The amount of times he was picked up by the collar on what of his scampering runs through the defence and got put on his was humorous/embarrassing last night. Although, glad he is taking on the line so ferociously, unlike a mister K. Judas.

Will Raymond Pennington be the Raymond Pennington we thought he'd be?

I think he already is....It would certainly be hell of a job to replace that lad....

Great to see him taking on line last night. Just got scragged on three occasions, them's the breaks - might have had 3/4 tries with a bit of luck on his side. Good performance from Richie last night.

Needs to super glue his collar to his neck, a good 3 times he got ragged. Tighter shirt needed as stated! I was actually encouraged by his performance last night, he took on the line very well.

I think some fans needs to understand that when Briers isn't there we shouldn't expect Myler to do everything, he has experienced ball playing creative players around him such as Hodgson and Monaghan, surley we should expect more from them when Briers isn't there? Rather then heaping all the pressure/expectation on a player who is still maturing and learning, some of the criticism coming his away is completely unjustified. PS Hodgson had his best game in a wire shirt.

The question should be [i'will Raymond Pennington be the Casual Des we thought he'd be ?[/i

He most certainly will be.

sadly

is this the same myler that organised the attack and helped us win 64-6 last night?

is this the same casual des that is high ?
