The kids done good. He was brought in with one eye on learning from and eventually taking over from Lee. Given that he is still very much "learning the game" I'll be lookign forward to seeing how he finishes off the season/performs next.

surely this is meant to say flashes of Primrose, when the little nipper flies in for another one of his tries! lol

great signing in my opinion and definitely one for the future, maybe even one to build a squad around?

Notwithstanding the above I must admit I do want more from him eventually than a good defence and backing up. When Briers retires a lot of attacking responsibility will fall on his shoulders. We need someone who will probe, take on, and run through, the line.

IMO, he needs to step up more and take more control of the game; Tomkins esq, he needs to step up and kick more, fifth play tackles go to Briers 95% of the time.

I'll be honest and say I would prefer Tomkins over Myler but we never had that choice. Myler will still need an attacking halfback partner in 2011 when Briers has gone.

He has had a great first season, his defence and support play is great and his kicking game close to the line is good enough. He has not got the long kicking game that most half backs have but he will develop that over the years. It is good that we have a different type of half back to Briers. You will rarely see Myler throwing long 20-30 meter passes along the line like Briers can but he does not really need to as Monaghan can do this.

Although Myler and Briers have not played together as much as we would have hoped they do have a good understanding together when it comes to puting kicks behind the defence such as in the Wigan game where Myler could have scored 3 or 4 times

Has he got the skill and guile to break the line with ball in hand though? That is what we need from a halfback together with a ball playing LF in my view.

Let us not forget he has a fair few years of development in front of him.

I think he will take off alot next season, and I mean alot.

What are the respective ages of Tomkins, Eastmond and Myler?

Of course he has, as have Tomkins and Eastmond.
Why do we have to castigate young players.

Let them develop and encourage them.

I've today seen Sam Tomkins give a display that took my breath away (look at the HKR speccies views on their site) but he will make mistakes.
These young players are still learning the game, give them time.
