| Going back to Miller a bit here.
Miller always gives 10000% and never 1% short. For effort and commitment he’s fabulous.
I feel though that he try’s to play at 100 mph all the time and this is what let’s his game down.
Take Walker for example, he seems to have an age with the ball because he stands a bit deeper and seems to take his time when looking for the right play. Miller would benefit from just slowing down a little and looking at his options.
He’s great off the cuff is Miller but it’s like he is always trying just too hard.
I think Miller and Walker would make a good pair as Walker has that step back approach with the ball a bit like Liam Finn did. He seems to have an age with the ball to make the play he wants.
I’d be equally happy with Miller and Walker or Lino and Walker.
I’m unsure what’s happening with Lino. I’ve seen him knocking about pre season and looks fine and also in the club climbing video he looked fine.
Best think is if there is anything going off that it gets addressed internally and quickly. The longer these things go on the more damaging they are. There may not be anything actually going on at all though.

Above is the post you don't seem too clear about, I never said you believed it, but the piece above seems to point that your not too sure, hope that explains what I was implying.

| Quote: GET EM ON SIDE REF "Personally I have never rated Miller a very average overseas player an example of what is wrong in SL
He would struggle to play reserve grade back home.
Walker and Bowes offered more last night than I have seen from Miller in 2-3 seasons
As for him been captain the mind boggles'"
I never get posts like this, utter rubbish.
It’s like you can’t make your case on merit so you denigrate others to compensate.
Miller is a great little player whose proved himself over and over and is well worth his place at the club, it’s idiotic to argue otherwise and I honestly don’t know why you and others do it. You don’t need to!!!
I really like Walker and I think he not a LF but a SO and long term for me he should replace Miller. Also long term I actually believe he will be a better player. I think he’s a more creative player than Miller.
None of that makes Miller a bad player it just makes Walker potentially a better one. See it’s not difficult, it’s totally possible to prefer one player over another without destroying his predecessors reputation.

You said i was converting to believing it was true but what i actually said as you pointed if it where to be true well where does that say im a convert. If i say "if i win lottery im buying a ferrari" does that mean i believe im gonna win.

| Can not understand why Miller comes in for criticism all the time,He is worth is place in the team for is tackling.As the grounds get harder he gets better .He is by far the best number 6 over all we have Wakefield . Walker went well at Catalans but not quite up to replacing Miller yet

| I do think Miller has proved his worth since joining us. For Walker to be able to play out of position at SO is a credit to his skill. I did watch him play at LF at Oldham when he played reserves and really don’t get why we don’t give him a run of games in that position here.

| Miller is not your quintessential number 6. He is not a game organiser but unlike the majority he gives his all, sometimes too much. He tackles well above his weight and in his desperation for a win takes on the miracle play.

Just for clarity I've underlined what you said, are you okay with that up to now? it doesn't say you are a convert, and once again just to be clear neither have I said you are a convert if that makes any sense to you, what I said for the last time is If it were true your words not mine, and I implied that maybe you were not convinced it wasn't the truth, hope that helps you, btw the Ferrari bit might be true in your head who knows.you might need to think about it.

| I like Walker, and I hope we tie him down to a longer deal. But he’s nowhere near the level of Miller just yet, even when Miller is out of form. He’s currently fourth choice in the halves. Miller, Lino and Gaskell are all ahead of him. Personally I’d like to see him get a run at loose forward, I think he could compliment the half backs really well.

That’s not my reading of Walker’s development... I think he would grow incredibly from an extended spell at half... and on this years evidence alone... (two games in) he deserves to keep his slot.
Nothing against Lino and Gaskell (although depending on his reason for not playing on Saturday ... I might have something against Miller)
The only thing going against Walker at the moment in his development is he’s not Australian

He didn’t play against Hull.
Just my opinion, but Walker’s size make him more suited to loose, and I also don’t think he has the speed to be a modern day stand off.

| Miller and Gaskell didn’t play against Catalan... Lino hasn’t pulled on a shirt yet... we disagree obviously...
But I think Walker has the makings of a first class half, probably better than we’ve had in years

My original point was that he’s behind Miller at the moment. I think we both agree he has the potential to become a very good player, just in different positions. I’d be happy for either us to be right.
