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.

As i stated in another thread, we were outplayed and out-enthused by Hudds, but questions do have to be asked about the mylers ability to organise the team going forward, take command. We had 7 different players kicking on the 5th tackle on friday, no idea what so ever, the game was creaming out for an organiser, Something that we lack when Briers is not playing.

Dont get me wrong, im not saying if Briers played we would of won, but i bet we would of had alot better structure when we got into try scoring postitions............

and your right, there were more than enough players out there that had stinkers, but this thread is about Myler...........

Exactly different Kettle of fish with regards to comparing Myler and Briers. If you are expecting Myler to step into the same role and playing style as Briers then you will have a long wait. It was more up to the hooker and other half to share this role and let Myler continue playing the way he normaly does. To me he's another Danny Maguire don't expect him to supply more be supplied more like.

he was decent enough when we had him. so blame the mancs.....i mean salford!

Been said a thousand times but still people seem to look at Myler as a ball playing / running half back. He is not and never will be a Sean Long, a Lee Briers, a Sam Tompkins or a Kyle Eastmond.

He's a Danny McGuire style player - backing up, excellent positional play, average kicking game, very fast, and already a good reader of the game - They are his key skills.

We lost out again against Huddersfields because they were far more up for it than we were and nothing to do with Mylers involvement (or lack of).

Just been a couple of bad weeks at the office for us. Rather this now than in the playoffs again. Wigan in a similar rut, but they will still be top come October.

I'd look decent playing at your teams level. Next.....

Nowt wrong with Richie, top player(i've been on Richie watch all season, not in the same way as 74' Tony watch)
Watch what he does without the ball and you see he's top drawer.

Drop a line to Denis Betts. I will be in the South Stand having a laugh when you turn out!

you have implied by your reply that you agree he would be good enough for widnes!

Aye, too many fans hounding him.

Give the lad a chance, their were far poorer players out there on Friday night i.e. Clarke, Solomona etc.

I agree that Richard is the best support player in the league. However i dont think even if we had briers we would have won against huddersfield, we couldnt complete a set of six without knocking on. We didnt have much ball on their line because we couldnt get there
