Not sure I understand the congruence in thinking calling a 29year old Jacob Miller being ‘past it’ and advocating a 32year old Jonathan Ford as a replacement

His post just proves what most of us already know, this poster is a fake.
As you say the Miller for Ford bit is hilarious even without the ages issue. Anyone who actually watches Trinity will know that Miller is a better player now than he’s ever been. That doesn’t make him a world beater but it makes the accusation that he’s past it pure idiocy.
If I could replace Miller with better then reluctantly I would and that applies to them all but in his case I don’t see any available even close to our budget.

I watch Trinity and can't possibly agree with the 'Miller is a better player..' comment.
He's been pretty poor for the last couple of seasons imho.

| I’d say Miller has upped his game if anything and his defence is top notch and really puts himself about . Im Pretty sure the partnership with Lino will pay dividends the longer they play together.

Well don't then but he has in the opinion of most, not least the Wigan coaching staff!
He's lost some pace but if you think that's what makes a great player then you carry on watching the game your way and I'll carry on my way.
FWIW, Miller looked better a few years back because he had Finn who complimented him brilliantly, he had no luck with Brough, which is not unknown but looks promising with Lino.
You have to accept players for what they are, Miller is a great support player and a good player in broken play. When making plays he tends to hesitate, he's not decisive enough to be a true playmaker and he comes undone when he tries. Horses for courses I suppose but pound for pound we won't find better.

Correct.
His pace has gone but the rest is better.
His defence is superb, sure he misses a few but put into context as to how many he makes and on what players he makes them he's excellent.

He has also developed the habit of causing the opposition carrier to drop the ball as he tends to direct his contact at the ball quite often.

Yep, he did it to one of Fevs bigger players.
I really like Miller these days as he's made the best of himself.
I honestly think that if there is any validity in sports psychiatry he'd benefit. For me, he's definitely got what golfers call a 'Yip' in his game. He does everything right and then in the last moment loses his nerve. Thus he shapes up for the long pass then suddenly he drops it short, normally to poor old Ashurst who thought he was the dummy runner, ditto with kicks, it's on but then it's either way too short or too long. Obviously, this doesn't happen every time but it's often enough to stop him from reaching his true potential. If he could banish that from his game then he'd be a brilliant all-around player.
In fairness to Miller, that's the difference with all players at all levels, total self-belief is an uncommon gift or curse.
