Seriously?

Miller did more in his first match for the club than Nicklas did in his, albeit limited, appearances.

And Nicklas's attitude stinks.

It is relevant because Miller is on a long-term contract, which makes it difficult if and when a better option becomes available. In other words it would be better to keep your powder dry.

The key to success under the salary cap is 1) spending it in the right areas of the team, and 2) ensuring that players - whether paid low or high - provide good value for money.

For me, and I hope to be proved wrong, Miller looks to be a good example of where we have been going wrong for years.

Miller has to be on a decent amount as his signature prevented us from being able to offer Briscoe a deal when his Aussie deal fell through. There's nothing we can do about that though , that was either a good or bad recruitment decision. Having brought him in we really need to give him some time to see if he can repay that faith. I don't see he's done that much wrong to date especially playing behind a pack that everyone seems to think is made up of players who individually play well every week but who are constantly out muscled week in week out. I wasn't at Bradford but whilst there wasn't much criticism of the forwards from the fans the reports suggested that Bradford were in control for much of the game and able to make yards at will. The lack of last seasons scrambling defence meant they scored too easily. In attack too often our half backs/pivots were on the back foot when it came to kicking or setting plays generally as a result of slow play the balls and sloppy acting half play. That don't make anything easy for a young aussie halfback regardless of how much he gets paid. Give him and Rankin a platform and some time and then judge them....and the forwards.

If he fails after being given some time then I agree with you. Our recruitment has been haphazard and done under pressure for years. It's very difficult to turn it around especially when there is a regular change of coach and the various previous coaches signings have long contracts.

I thought you was getting rid next season anyway so you can bring Dobson in?

Hows Willie Mason doing? Helping Enoch Powell and his fellow PNG world cup star settle in?

Just for comparison, Miller's competition for his place this year will come from a former GB international with over 300 top-level appearances and a fellow Australia schoolboys player, Nicklas will be up against someone who hasn't been full time since 2010 (albeit talented in his prime) and last year's West Hull captain.

That's not just because a few fans were a bit unfair to Nicklas.

Also, if Miller doesn't produce the goods and didn't happen to finish the season with us, I very much doubt he'd be having to look for a championship club to continue his career.

Big Willies doing a lot better now than he was when he joined us anyway less of the thread drift
