He was doing well tbh before his injury but have to agree with some posters he is too inconsistent and injury prone for me.

I agree he has a battle but that's because a) we are winning every week and b) Bridge and Ratchford are both fit. Those scenarios might not last forever.

I think Myler is a good and effective player who can hurt teams with his support play so don't bash him like some on here but he is not a player like Briers. In terms of keeping him with a new contract the issue will be is he one of the big earners as he has a big reputation: if he is we might be able to get someone else who offers more.

Remember there is also GO'B to come in to the side.

GOB has been great these last few weeks, he has really stepped up and created a lot of tries recently. Good on him!

He hasn't found it a problem the last three weeks!

Exactly. None of us can ever predict what Tony Smith will do. The one guarantee is that someone in the backs will get injured, Smith will re-shuffle in some way, shape or form and Myler will be back in the side. Then it's up to him to retain his place and someone else will have a problem.

Smith must be loving this as we have competition all over the park near enough with the youngsters that have come through this year.

In the last three weeks without R&B we have been stuttering a little.
We have played poorer teams and we have not completed and been as convincing in attack and lost a little of that steel. That shows in our defence as we've allowed scores against us yet the teams have been poorer.

It makes the case for the saying, the best defence is attack. The more we complete the less we defend. We haven't completed quite as well.
Yes you could argue that we put 70 on London but that could have been 80+ or 90+ had we not shipped in 12.
The big indication for me was against Hull. We've been putting big scores in against all but not at Hull.

It's a problem, but it's a far better problem to have than being really stretched and short of players.

Hull, away, in those conditions, hardly a benchmark and usually a tough game for us.

Regarding Myler, I didn't think he stank as much as some on here stated early doors, well he wasn't alone in the poor form stakes and was playing well prior to his injury. So when he gets his chance and there's a good chance he will at some stage, it is up to him to take it and let someone else fight him for a starting place as we enter the business end of the season......a great 'problem' to have.

Thats true.

I think he could well turn out to be someone that is great to bring off the bench against tired legs... Be interesting to see how Smith uses him when he is back to full fitness again.

I'm not sure what TS is going to do, as previously he put Ratchford in the back row to accommodate Myler, but Waterhouse and Laithwaite can't be far away from returning, Grix will be back before seasons end and you can't leave out Harrison on his current form. He has been a stand out.

Really healthy problem for the team, and I'm sure TS will find a way to get the best out of the team.

I agree with Morley, Myler is great coming off the bench against tired legs, he finds the gaps not many others can and is always looking for support runners, when people mention the players that are still missing and due to come back soon it is a great headache for TS and great for us in the run in!

I think TS is doing that now Babs.
Utilising the Ratchford and Bridge at loose to offset the weakness we has in the forwards as the games we faced was easy opposition.
It may also keep the big threats guessing.
But come the CC semi we must go R&B at hb as they are the best combination.

Still bemused that the focus of our early indifferent form is on Myler. Just goes to show.
