This is fair enough, but I dont think Sullivan (or any of the other crap half backs) lasted Four years, Monaghan didnt last four years before he was shuffled back to Hooker.

I'd Like To think he's under pressure from Smith, in the same way he droppped Briers in his first months in charge.

Lee Briers Was never a world Beater week in week out so Myler deserves a chance. I didnt Rate him early on but eventually came round to appreciating him, so if he has to spend a bit of time on the bench fair enough. I still remember his kick To Joel for the wembley opening try as a piece of Magic few players could produce. So I hope I dont get dragged back down into slagging him off.

If this is Monas' Last Season then I hope Myler and Ratchford (and Obrien) are still around, if the rumour of us getting Darryl Clarke are ever true, as that would set us up with a decent spine for a fair few years........

This time last year this board was full of Myler for GB and he was the best thing since sliced bread.

Not from me Chester.
I've always thought he was not the right buy.

At the time Leneghan took over at Wigan it seemed a mini transfer fee revival was on between them and us.
Perhaps it was a knee jerk reaction on the part of Moran.

If he doesn't make a transition, like one or two say he should, to hooker, then I don't think we'll be extending his contract.

I'm very sure he can run from dummy half to great effectiveness but....
I cannot for one minute see him beefing up enough to bring down props running at him over and over.

I think he's a good halfback, I think he needs dropping purely as a wake up call, if he doesn't get dropped you're effectively saying 'you're doing nothing wrong carry on as you are'.

He's been dropped before and it had a good affect on him, seems time is good for helping you forget certain lessons.

Didn't we give Lee Briers 10 yrs and a testimonial before he finally developed to give a consistent all round performance ?

Good point shinymc.

Let's extended his contact till the next decade then threaten that he'll be released to the championship on the 7th season.
That ought to get a reaction?!

.. the only downside being that we'll have to carry him for another 4 seasons why he puts in one excellent game followed by 6 more being poor to ok.

I blame Helen. He's never been the same since he got married.

Was there?

I seem to remember monies being used in transfers.
Be it large ones or small ones as an incentive to release players just a few weeks early, even though the player could go as a free agent at season end

Really??.... In what way??

Does he have the ball playing skills and the ability to bring others into the game like a Andy Gregory, or the off-the-cuff skills of a John Woods or Garry Schofield??.... Does he have a kicking game of any note like Kevin Sinfield??

I'd say the answer to those questions is a definite no, which in my view gives him no qualification to be considered as a good half back - Admittedly, he might have some abilities (none of which he is displaying at present), but I just don't see what he has that makes anybody think he can be a half back for any side aspiring to be challenging for trophies.

At the moment, I wouldn't be against sending him somewhere on loan for a month, similar to what they have done with Chris Riley - We sent Gareth O'Brien on loan to Saints last year in order for him to gain first team experience and to develop his game... I suggest Myler requires similar help for his career development because, at the moment, its badly stalled.

Surely in a position with no real playmaker ,the coaching staff should encourage the lads to play basic rugby as a team & see where that gets us. Wigan are lacking in a decent playmaker but Wane has instilled a team ethic into his side & it seems that when young players are drafted into his side they just blend in. Maybe that is a lesson in coaching that would be of benefit at Warrington.

The excuses have run out for Myler, and his undoubted potential has to start showing in consistent, dominant performances THIS YEAR or he should be ushered out of the exit door at the first opportunity, in my opinion.

He has played alongside the best half back of his generation for 5 years
He has played behind one of the toughest most effective and aggressive packs of recent times
He has been coached by one of the best coaches in SL for several years
He has been allowed to develop his game at his own pace and in his own time

Twelve months ago he was the incumbent England half-back. Now, he's a million miles away from it and behind Sinfield, Widdop, Matty Smith, Chase & Lomax on form. His missus has more chance of an England cap than he has.

As for the campaign to move him to hooker, that is a downright insult to Brad Dwyer.

After all the development myler has had over the last 5 years, he should be stepping up to the mark & organising the attacking play. He knows he won't be dropped from the team & so do the other players. unfortunately he hasn't got a rugby brain...Briers did all the thinking for them both, but come Sunday he'll be in the team against Hudd & o'brian will be 18th man or at Swinton.
Now if there was a stat for hi 5s myler would be at the top!
