The conditions were so perfect for side stepping of any foot , changing direction when running flat out ..Give him a break He put the new forward through the gap, the one that is getting the flack for not passing out a good pass when Rocky was to close to him. Sorry know I should not be defending him when there's a witch hunt going on .Same as Crowther will not say which side I stand on him

Re: Miller : Tue Jun 11, 2019 8:07 pm  

He ran the ball 3 or 4 times and gave some good balls out to the new lad including the one for the break.

Keep saying it but the weather is a real leveller, I’m not going to jump on him just yet.

I've got no real issue with Miller - his perfect hb partner is Brough, and that partnership has been split up by injuries; they're both back now though, and as experienced players, I'd expect to see them both return to form in fairly short order.

If the lack of ideas at the end of a set persist however, then there's reason to ask questions; we had so many repeat sets against Leeds, and completely failed to unlock their defence - that can't continue.

Had potential when first signed from Hull but sadly lost his way
Is this poor coaching or just the fact hes not good enough
never takes on the line a yard short of pace and on a long contract

Agree on the fact that if it continues changes need to be made. Its sometimes difficult to break defences down in the first 5-10 mins of a game when they are fresh and with pouring down rain even more challenging.

Both the Leeds & Hull KR game were very similar, levellers that could have gone either way. We just don't seem to be on the right end of the result.

He was tasked by Peter Gentle to lead the team around the field as there go to half, he just is not that player or he definitely was not when he first came over - The pressure for the Hull club & fans took its toll and for me he just was not given a chance.

Yes he does take the line on,a lot more than any other halfback in the league (Excluding maybe Kelly and Austin) just because he has had a few quiet weeks since he has returned it doesn`t change that. People have a short memory, Miller was top of Superleague in Try assists last season yet there are people on here saying he doesn't create? Both him and Brough have been out a similar length of time and they are both on 10 Try assists this season, where are the people saying Brough isn`t creating? He misses a few tackles but he seems to keep improving on his defence and he definitely puts himself out there in defence.

I don`t think he is the right choice for captain, I would give it to Kops or Ashurst.

I couldn't disagree more - he takes the line on an alarmingly regular basis, and is lighting quick off the mark, with amazing agility; I think you're getting carried away.

he runs it but across field!

You're right, so let's drop him and put Rocky there instead because he never does that!!

Although he can go over the top at times, I would give Brough the captaincy.
He's a real passionate player and at least he would be able to speak to the ref.

Apart from Fifita,(and Brough) we do seem short on leaders
