Gentle has a pack of offloaders, maybe he thinks he wont need that "put away 7"

Just look how Schoey made his name? Sat on the shoulder of Lee Crooks

He might not, I'm just saying that I think we do. As for Schofield, he was a threequarter, different kettle of fish. The team still had to have others to pull the strings.

If the Chase deal is dead, then I would make a move for Eastmond or Gaskell.

I gather by your tone you like Myler. I don't. As I said, Myler has no quality kicking/passing game whatsoever. He's a support player, nothing more. Play him at hooker and he supports, play him at halfback and guess what? He supports.
You only have to look at last nights game to see that he is nothing special. Tony Smith moved him from 1st receiver as he couldn't cope with the Bronco's defence strolling up at him. He's elusive given space but he doesn't even shine in a quality Warrington team, he's almost on par with Ellis.

You can't rely on 'offloaders' to dictate play. We need a quality creative halfback, we have done for years and now there's talk of getting one, Myler's name crops up time and again. I'll have a bet with anyone on here that 'if' Myler comes to HFC, he will be slagged off Thorman-esque for his creative abilities.

Schofield also played off half to a decent standard.

16 try assist suggest to me he is more than a support player, Brier has 2 more at 18.

Those kits are all different too, apart from being hooped, chevrons or camouflage. They aren't the same template like you said we had.

You want a Nike kit? They use templates for Premier League sides, and you think they'll make us a new one? We'll get a rehash of the old England Union shirt, nothing more.

Myler would be a decent signing if we completely built the team around him, offloading all the time, playing with a half back who is comfortable running things on his own, and protecting him in defence. I'm not sure he's a good enough player for us to do that.

Another thing, can anyone remember Obst or Webster been our halfback saviours on here, because I can't.

Not the done deal that some Widnes fans would have us believe www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html

You know this already BL. Stats are not everything. How many times have those 'assists' been to another support player along side of him? Warrington push players through in numbers and when on song there's usually 3 or 4 of them following the break. Myler does not make the space, he has it made for him by the likes of Briers, Hodgson, Monaghan etc.

My main gripe with Myler is that he cannot dictate a game. The likes of Briers, Dobson et al can.

i really do hope that Chase's visa has gone through...will be a fantastic signing..along with Holdsworth...

can only hope....

looking forward to the announcements, wonder if Chase's visa has been done,it will get announced then?

Tbh I have not seen enough of Myler to make a solid judgement on him, however I think it is harsh to say he is simply a support player when he has managed 16 try assists, from the few times I have seen him he appears a decent enough player not sure I would want him in our team though.

Ryan Bailey has 4 SL winners rings.

I wouldn't want him either

I agree with Locko's Luck, you can't just look at stats as they don't tell the full story. Ratchford's try the other week for example; the way the stats are recorded Myler will have an assist for that, but Briers put Ratchford through the gap, Ratchford made the line break, so the sum total of Myler's input was to back Ratchford up and play a one two to get round the fullback and recovering defence. How many times has he done that with Ratchford, Atkins, Riley, etc.?
