That's wrong. There's a big difference between saying that Myler is an option there (what Smith said) and saying he is earmarked to play 6 and 7.

I think he’s trolling again

But why would that young player, whos dream is probably playing in the NRL, give up the chance to potentially break through into the NRL and come to Super league?

It depends how close he is to a breakthrough in the nrl. If it seems a way off for him there is a well established route by coming here and standing out or building/rebuilding a career. See Hastings, Leuluai, Croft plenty more too.

Warriors have Te Maire Martin, Shaun Johnson, Luke Metcalfe and Chanel Harris-Tavita in front of him next year I'd think.

However, you still need to have played X NRL games to get a visa. Or one world cup game for Greece.

Doesn’t this stem from JJB saying Smith likes Hookers that lool to pass rather than run. I think Smith actually likes running halves thats why he wants the ball to them not the the hooker running

Why would we be looking at Frawley then?
Not really a running half.

Didn’t realise Tevita had unretired. Yeh his path to first grade there is pretty hard.

Get with the program I think you are a bit behind everything I have highlighted has been quoted by Rohan. You think he's the Messiah I've been around the game long enough to have an opinion also just because it doesn't fit with you I'm a lier?

The closest I've heard him come to say that was in one of his press conferences last week after the announcement of miller saying about myler knowing how they want to go at FB re miller (guess he means pace) and that myler is versatile and may play some in the halves as well as FB. I've not heard him 'earmark' a half back spot for him though. Go find where he said that and come back to us. Your theory about his intentions for Handley have been blown out the water.

That's a pretty limiting approach though too as I'd always encouraged the hooker to play with his head up, if the ruck is won and the markers and As/Bs are late retreating or not set you jump out and get at that space, if they are set move the ball quickly and accurately to first receiver, it's pretty straight forward really Rugby League. That's where we are limited at the minute as you want your smartest player playing at 9 for me their decision making is central to everything and the best teams play that way, everything comes off your 9.

Everyone on here is entitled to their opinion I have no issue with that.

I’m calling you a lier because you are deliberately making things up, there’s no need to do it.
