We're used to Lee 'The Axe' Briers - we're not signing Richie Done Deal Myler for his run stopping abilities.

Funny how Myler was the best thing since sliced bread when Wigan and Saints were rumoured, now he's signed for us we hear the Tomkins and Eastmond are better jibes. Eastmond isn't a great tackler either, Matt King actually laughed at him on saturday.

does anyone know how much myler has actually cost you guys?

They may have a point, Myler doesn't strike me as the best tackler. This is how i would rate them.

Eastmond
Myler
Tompkins

However, any club would be happy to happy any one of these younsters in their side

More than £200,000 but less than £300,000 I believe.

yes and it's nowhere near what some people are saying,and don't think it was all about us pursuing the player either.

Sorry, but I canlt see that valuation being remotely close tho the actual figure.

Tomkins is a bit of a sly bugger. Always holding onto the tackler when he's at dummy half trying to get a penalty. Was made up when Howell laid him out.

Relevance to this thread?

Could of sworn someone mentioned him earlier in the thread.....

Weirdly enough my post was more relevant than yours

My dad is probably bigger than yours as well

Dya not reckon? Disenfranchised "want away" Gleeson = Mathers + £100K?

Best forward in the world (when he is on the Bradford Bulls human growth hormone programme) = £450K

One of the best up and coming British half backs, when we only have one old, injured, mercurial one and no player exchange - Priceless.

For everything else there's Mastercard.

And? He is a half-back.

You make a good point Mark. From what I've read on this forum we want half backs to tackle like 2nd rowers and loose forwards to be non ball playing and be "big units".

Creative players should be creative players. God knows they are rare enough in our game. We have a bag full of players in the academy who can tackle ad infinitum. How many have we got that can come into a team with a few games under their belt and play against an in-form Warrington and destroy them up the middle by taking on the line. I bet Eastmond missed a good few tackles on Saturday, but he showed exactly what attacking flair, taking on the line, and elusive running can do from half back.
