I`m not going over old ground regarding Myler, this is a thread i posted after the Millenium Magic game against Huddersfield.

I disagree mate, our pack wasnt pulverised at all. Our pack did pretty damn well, we were just clueless in their 20.

The bit where Westwood put a cross kick in is a prime example, he should NEVER have been at first receiver.

But we've never had the luxury in the past of spending approx £200k to address the problem, for that sort of money you would expect the problem to be cured.

Won 7 out of 8 without Briers last season

Have to agree......watching TS interview post match though, he doesnt seem to think briers being missing was an issue, but then again he isnt going to say we were clueless without him!!!

And what were the opposition ? Huddersfield are far stronger this year, we certainly didn't beat Saints, Wigan or Leeds last year without Briers.

Myler is fine when your teams on top where you don't need a creative 7, when were on top its usually either Monaghan or Briers thats running the show which allows Myler to concentrate do what he does best which is his support play.

Im liking the look of Scott Dureau, from all accounts he had Wigans pants down last night...

One bad game this season and apparently he's not good enough for us.

Exactly the same thing happened at MM, Briers went off injured and we had no idea. The game was crying out for myler to take control, never happened!! So not just once this year, and it will happen again im afraid.

In my opinion Richie is a support player ( and one of the best in the league ) in the mould of Shaun Edwards and I don't think he will ever control the game. I see him moving to stand off and us getting a quality scrum half to replace Briers.

Exactly.

Myler has developed a lot as a player, just because he's not leading the side around the pitch doesn't mean that he's a bad player. People seem to forget that he's only 20 years old and still developing now.

Funny how opinions can differ depending on whether we've won and lost... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=487975

To be fair to Richie (who I think is a very good player for us and will in time become a great player for us) was playing behind a beaten pack.
Lee Briers could not have done much more on Friday we were beaten up front and had no platform to play off.

Can't take control behind a pack which continually drops the ball, misses tackles and gives away needless penalties. We were outplayed as we were in Cardiff. Neither loss could be blamed on a 20 year old.
