Potentially, yes.

Though I feel his kicking game would need to improve.

I do think that Millers all round half back play has improved, and in time could play the Finn like role

If Miller can develop the other aspects of his game i.e. his organisation then i don`t think he will playing in SL for too much longer.

As an individual he`s the biggest attacking threat out of any halfback in SL by a mile when he goes at the line, he showcased a great short kicking game last season which is massively improved, granted he doesn't have much of a long kicking game. If Hull would of showed a bit of patience towards him, i wonder where he would of been right now...

Would anyone particularly like to see Danny Brough back at the club?

Was he sharing a car with O Brien ?

Correct me if I'm wrong Wrencat but did I ever say Brough had signed? I'm purely asking if anyone would take him back... Oh and just so you know mate you missed the apostrophe from O'Brien.

His long kicking game is pretty good, he usually finds space when kicking into touch, he pegged a 50m drop goal under pressure a couple of years ago too. The only real thing we're lacking is someone who will take 40/20s and drop goals. I think we were bottom of the stack for both of those stats last year

Nah he's right, Leeds also scored just one DG and 3 40/20's , same as us. That site keeps erroring though, especially if you say click on DG to get most to least, Leeds disappears & atm there's 2 Wire teams and 2 Catalan teams amnd Hull KR pop up. Must be something to do with the 8's but I don't know where Leeds have gone from the table. You can see the Leeds stats when you first bring them up. 2nd team down and look across , he's right.

Saying that the DG thing doesn't really worry me too much.. The FT issue, although not bad & can be improved on next season. Saying that at the end of this season, really only Cas and Hudds have a significant amount at 11 and 9, Leigh got the next best at 7 and look where they are.

Like i said, i'm not sure what part of the season that table is counting but there are some really surprising stats on there and it's hard to find patterns to explain league positions. For example how can Warrington make the most meters but not finish in the top 8?
