Thats true.

I think he could well turn out to be someone that is great to bring off the bench against tired legs... Be interesting to see how Smith uses him when he is back to full fitness again.

I'm not sure what TS is going to do, as previously he put Ratchford in the back row to accommodate Myler, but Waterhouse and Laithwaite can't be far away from returning, Grix will be back before seasons end and you can't leave out Harrison on his current form. He has been a stand out.

Really healthy problem for the team, and I'm sure TS will find a way to get the best out of the team.

I agree with Morley, Myler is great coming off the bench against tired legs, he finds the gaps not many others can and is always looking for support runners, when people mention the players that are still missing and due to come back soon it is a great headache for TS and great for us in the run in!

I think TS is doing that now Babs.
Utilising the Ratchford and Bridge at loose to offset the weakness we has in the forwards as the games we faced was easy opposition.
It may also keep the big threats guessing.
But come the CC semi we must go R&B at hb as they are the best combination.

Still bemused that the focus of our early indifferent form is on Myler. Just goes to show.

Okay, if all were now fit & available what would your 1st choice be?

Russell
Ormsby
Ryan
Joel
Rhys
Ratchford
Bridge
Hill
Higham
Evans
Super Ben
Trent
Ben Harrison

Micheal
Woody
England
Grix

That would leave out
Richie
Laithwaite
Asotasi
King
Philbin
Ben Currie
GOB
Dwyer
Big Riley
Tom Walker

Who'd have thought losing all those big-name players in the off-season would turn out to be such a good thing? All the youngsters that have come through and not only fit into the team but excelled is fantastic. Plus throughout the season we've had all these injuries and instead of weakening us it's made us even stronger as the youngsters have all turned up and performed.

I'd go with that FB but I'd unfortunately puzzle a few by swapping England with Asotasi.
England is risky and still needs to get fitter although he is improving much.
Asotasi is consistent with few errors if not impressive. Perhaps by play off's I may differ in my opinion.

From the doom and gloom merchants earlier in the season who said we would be in a relegation battle we now have a GREAT problem as to who TS LEAVES out of his side!!!!

It wasn't long ago that people were moaning on here that the squad was threadbare yet now as we get towards the business end of the season we have about 25 players who deserve a place in the 17.

Going back to the Myler issue....there isn't one!!! We are VERY fortunate to have FOUR class half backs in our squad and I am sure that TS will use whichever combination HE feels is best for any given game.

I don't believe that he has a first choice 17; it is horses for courses as far as he is concerned and that is why nobody on here can second guess what he is thinking which certainly keeps the opposition on their toes as they don't know what side they are going to come up against.

Lets enjoy the problem and be thankful that we don't have to make the decisions!!!!

One of the least puzzling posts you've made as far as I'm concerned, England "is improving much" and adds to a real scramble for places as players are returning from injury

If we get to the business end of the season and he cant get in the 17 there will be.... If we go into the playoffs with a fully fit squad, i don't think he will be in the starting 13... Being effective off the bench is probably his best chance of featuring i think.

But for all we know Smith might put him back in the halves and move Bridge or Ratchford out... cant see it though.

completely agree with you so why are you puzzled? didn't I just post something along those lines?
I only added that he isn't currently better than Asotasi. Unfortunately.

Where do people think our season turned?

Psychologically I think it was Magic, funnily enough we could have lost that game quite easily, Saints, had they been clinical would have beat us but they had an off day, since then I think mentally we've been extremely focused and determined.

We haven't won anything yet.
