| Quote steve1g="steve1g"I'd still pick Brad Walker before Miller...or anyone else...it's all about the opportunities you create, either with hand or boot and Walker proved that more in 2 games last season than anyone else has for us for 3 or 4...and while we're at it play Hampshire or Miller at 9 for the extra speed from the ruck...and for those who say halves need to beef up to play 9 I've 2 words about how effective the extra speed can be allied with great defensive technique...Rob Burrow
...I'm sick of beating this drum but just what has CC got against Walker'"
I like what I have seen of Walker, which if we are honest, isn't much. All the same, ahead of Miller, no way, easily our best player before he got injured.
Why he hasn't had a chance in some other games I'm not sure, must be a reason.

| Not so sure if he was as 1 try per game in 2 of the first 3 games testifies to a lack of creativity at a time when he is supposed to be the main man and team leader...not to mention the pressure-relieving penalties he gives away in every game for high tackles

I would counter that with the fact that on occasions he was the only one doing anything. Best form Miller has shown in a few seasons, no need to throw out the baby with the bath water though I really would love to see Walker get a real run.

| In one of the pre-match interviews Chester stated that the physio had said Miller was a 6 week injury, although Chester thought 4 (the quote was "Physios say 6, I say 4"). I'd rather we played a fully fit Brad Walker than a 70-80% Miller to be honest. No point risking the injury when we have options.

He’s not going to do that if he wasn’t willing to play him when Miller was 100% unfit.
From my point of view as someone who first pushed Jowitt as a H/B I’d now like to see him given a run in that position.
Even though I think he’s a great FB this constant messing can’t be helping him. I believe Max is a SO but he really needs the chance to prove himself one way or the other.
So I’m torn, it’s either Miller or Max for me, Walker a relative novice doesn’t come into it at this point of the season in a game we could win.

If we've still got Ashall-Bott or have extended his loan then I'm with you and would have Max at 6, if we're without Ashall-Bott then I don't see any other option than to play Max at 1

| Quote alegend="alegend"Think this shows how bad Mr Chester is as a Coach Apart from a 9 .We are on par at 1,6,7,and 13 with some of the teams in S L .The trouble is that Mr Chester as no structure in the team .That is why we are playing the worst rugby compaird to the rest of S L. It's all down to coaching Rember J K coming with is part time Bradford team in the cup ,and there 6,7,and 9 run us all over the park and were unlucky not to win'"
I’d be interested to know who you think we are on a par with at 1, 6, 7, 9 and 13.

Get your point and don't get me wrong I've seen Miller have some stormers but he isn't and can't be the main man...he just hasn't got it in him...but with the right support to share the load he can focus on his natural running game rather than trying to focus on everything. I could see him doing a job at 9 but would be equally happy for him to stay at 6 with Lino 7, Walker 13 and Westerman and Tanginoa our SRs.
That said, while he's been out I haven't the foggiest why Walker hasn't been given his head to get some game time in him and for us all to see what he can do with a longer run of games...but we missed a big opportunity to blood all the younger players last season when there was no relegation

I would say Salford, Leigh, Hull KR and Hudds.

Agree on the first three, not the Hudds one though.

Can’t agree with Salford or Huddersfield.
At Salford Brown may be knocking on but he is still quality and Lolohea has been great for them.
Taylor at loose is maybe not an attacking threat but another quality player.
Escare probably on a par with our fullbacks.
Huddersfield have Golding or Gaskill at 1, Sezer and Cogger/Gaskill in the halves and Josh Jones at 13.
Stronger than us in every department at Giants in my opinion.
Agree we are probably on a par with KR and Leigh which is probably again why we are scrapping for SL survival with them.

You think we have a 6 or 7 as good as Aidan Sezer?
