Why cant people get it into their thick heads - Miller is ! He maybe does one or two good things a game if hes lucky then the rest of the time gets steam rollered or runs round like a headless chicken! Another example of Gentle thinking he can polish a turd when he clearly coudnt.

I hope Miller does get the message and goes elsewhere as im sure there miles better around than him and Radford obviously thinks the same

So the reason he isn't getting picked is because he can't defend? If that's the case then I'd like to ask you a few further questions. Firstly, if that's the requirements for a spot, then how come Ben Crooks is getting a game? Secondly, if he's that bad why was our defence better last year when he was in the team?

Fact of the matter is Horne & Heremaia in the halves doesn't work against the better teams (or most teams for that matter), what's that saying about doing the same thing and expecting a different result?

Doesn't matter what I ask though does it? Because you won't have an answer and will just go down the childish remark route. Reckon Seb does more for my argument anyway! icon_biggrin.gif

Surely it's props we're short of and it's that which is dictating changes to the squad. Radford clearly believes that Miller is the fourth best option of the 4 players that can play halfback at the club. Why would losing two more props have any effect on that view?

It doesn't. However against Castleford the combination in the halves, as proven before didn't work against a well organised defence. I'm not saying Miller will definitely be any better but it's worth a shot. Radford was pretty quick to bin Rankin out of the halves.

Or just decided that the pairing he chose was right for the game in question?

Hes not that good in attack either, ben crooks misses tackles as all players miss tackles, like i have said before..big difference in missing a tackle when fatigued or out smarted or bumped off, to jumping out the way! seb said everything ive said & everything the coaching staff see every day...not my fault i speak the truth about certain players..& crooks has been dropped for bad performances. We focused more on defence last year so thats probably why. horne & azza are not the best halves in SL but they are the best of our bunch.

Fair comment. There is merit in the argument that the Head Coach has access to training/stats that us on here picking the team do not. I would initially have played Miller this week but then subsequently knowing the forward situation I probably wouldn't have done as Radford hasn't. Think Radford needs to say something good about Miller sooner rather than later or play him otherwise it becomes unsettling for the player. In general scoring points isn't a concern so far like it has been in the past and this week the half back argument isn't the focus IMO.

That I can accept as a credible reason, I don't agree with it, but it's fair enough. But I can't accept that the kid is 'gash'.

We haven't seen enough of him to know one way or the other. There is a question mark over him defensively however that shouldn't be used as a major reason for not playing him.

Haven't posted on here for a while but I'm going to stick up for miller here! The lad is 21 years old and has bags of potential! If that wasn't evident last season then some of you were watching a different player to me. I can understand people have divided opinions on him but to say 'he's crap' 'he's garbage' etc need to get a grip! He travelled to the other side of the world and was thrown in at the deep end without any consistency of a half back partner, he's now had a full pre season under his belt and deserves to prove his worth. Heremaia isn't a scrum half no matter how much Radford wants him to be, and we are weaker for not having azza at dummy half. Time to back the kid and give him a chance.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Would like to see Miller behind a fully fit pack and could he possibly be a fair pitch player?
