I don't hate him I just don't rate him or see the fuss about him.
I hate Saints with a passion but I'll admit Eastmond is a top draw young talent easily on par with Sam but I just don't see the hype over Myler.
Myler was at a very, very poor Salford side and got a lions share of the ball to make plays with. If he pulled something off he was a hero if it failed then it's blamed on the dross that he's playing with. Its pressure free rugby in a way isn’t it as no one is going to take his place, no one expects Salford to do anything and when they do it’s all down to him.
On the other side of the spectrum his international career has been one were he’s played against poor opposition in a rampant team. Again it’s easy to shine when you you’re trampling over a weak French side isn’t it. Sam destroyed Wales the other week but it means nothing compared to what he did yesterday against the worlds best.
Eastmond and Sam have be excellent in very good teams something which is much harder to achieve. They’ve had to create things with half the ball Mylers had with a hell of a lot more pressure on their shoulders as well.
The pressure to succeed at Wigan and Saints means Eastmond and Sam haven’t been given the luxury of time that Myler had.
Imo we’ll see what Myler does when he’s out of his comfort zone next season as the pressure really is on him.
