Miller has looked better player with Jowitt, Miller looks rubbish playing with Brough.

Brough seems to demand that every play goes through him, which leaves Miller feeding off scraps (if he's lucky).
I think there was a similar issue at Huddersfield, which caused a fair bit of fall out, which may be why Brough was swapped (for Grix).

It has to be about the team and never about ANY single player.

That's how i'd do it. We don't want to be going for wholesale changes but it's a good oppotunity for some guys who haven't had much first team action yet this season like Brough, Batchelor, King, Kershaw & Kirmond to get a go in the 17 and a chance for other to rest any knocks. The squad depth is there this week and it doesn't weaken us much and whilst i'm sure Kear will have Bradford fired up we should still have way too much for them.

I’ve always though of Brough as being one of the best, if not the best all round kicker of a rugby ball I’ve ever seen
He’s being an amazing half too over the years

Along with his defence his place kicking is still 2nd to none however those amazing flat no look grubbers, the deep kicks to space and the towering bombs he used to produce just don’t come any more

He is still capable of decent last play kicks but generally our last play kicking options range from awful to average

In the two games max has played in the half’s our last play kicking has really improved, I am really impressed with him

Miller is also buzzing everywhere at the heart of the attack which is key to us winning

I agree miller and max are doing really well together and I would like to see that continue

I’m not sure if max is the answer for the future but it’s working now

Also any one that doesn’t rate miller is deluded
The guy is absolute class

I think Miller has all the attributes for a quality Stand Off, I just wish he would back himself more,maybe that's an old fashioned view as the likes of Toppo etc would seek a gap and go, whereas todays Stand Off's seem more concerned in creating play for others.

It might be a old fashioned view but it worked

Agree with all
I think miller plays much better without brough

Hit the nail on the head IMO. Every play has to go through Brough leaving Miller in his shadow. He’s a more dominant character even with Miller as captain, it’s just the kind of person he is.

Nothings going to change this season I’m afraid, he’ll come back in once fully fit. Is this his final year?

Still got one of the best kicking games in RL on his day. I thought ours on Friday was pretty poor, need to be contesting more last tackle kicks. Back 3 of hull often caught the ball with no Trinity player within 10 metres.

Agree about your stand off comments

I think miller is starting to back him self again
I think we need to put last season behind us too as 2018 miller was a different player
Miller had an awful injury, along with half of the team
In particular three of the guys he sets up so well in Ashurst, Bill and Tommy

They are all back now, I believe the best is yet to come from Jacob and his team

One thing I would like to see and I know it’s difficult with BJB out but I’d like to see Ashurst, Bill and Tommy back together with Miller
