He has had a great first season, his defence and support play is great and his kicking game close to the line is good enough. He has not got the long kicking game that most half backs have but he will develop that over the years. It is good that we have a different type of half back to Briers. You will rarely see Myler throwing long 20-30 meter passes along the line like Briers can but he does not really need to as Monaghan can do this.

Although Myler and Briers have not played together as much as we would have hoped they do have a good understanding together when it comes to puting kicks behind the defence such as in the Wigan game where Myler could have scored 3 or 4 times

Has he got the skill and guile to break the line with ball in hand though? That is what we need from a halfback together with a ball playing LF in my view.

Let us not forget he has a fair few years of development in front of him.

Re: Myler : Sun Aug 22, 2010 10:19 pm  

I think he will take off alot next season, and I mean alot.

What are the respective ages of Tomkins, Eastmond and Myler?

Of course he has, as have Tomkins and Eastmond.
Why do we have to castigate young players.

Let them develop and encourage them.

I've today seen Sam Tomkins give a display that took my breath away (look at the HKR speccies views on their site) but he will make mistakes.
These young players are still learning the game, give them time.

i think he's brought what we needed, another genuine scoring threat, not from set plays but broken play, backing up, that was missing from our squad last year, whether he controls the team, i know its a major part of his position but he's doing exactly what we signed him for, and can't have any complaints about that so far

I listened to your game today and Tomkins sounded unbelievable yet again, they said he caught the ball in his in goal, stepped four and was unlucky not to score.

I dread to think what he will be like when he hits 25+!

I agree I like Myler. But who is going to make the broken play when Briers departs?

Probably not i dont think he has the footwork that Tomkins has however he makes up on this by running great lines which lead to his try on friday. Atleast 3 times a game he will get smashed by trying to hit gaps but he keeps trying to do it and eventually will get rewarded.

Im not sure if we need a LF as Monaghan and Briers can set up a line break. Look at Leeds they are similar to us as they have Burrow and Sinfield who can create the line break and Mcguire will support the break line Myler.
