I never understood signing Myler, felt like a desperation/ need some one type of signing.
We have needed an organising HB since Sinfield left, still don't have that three years later

Myler seemed to be going well at the start of the year but agree with those that suggest he just doesn't offer quite enough for me. Particularly in big games. As early as the Cas game at Elland Road he dropped his chips in front of the posts when we were on the hunt to get back level. Obviously, there were far bigger issues than Myler last year but always strikes me as a player that scores a hat-trick when you when 52-16 but rarely comes up with a match winning play.

To pick Myler out after the complete turd show we served up last year is bizzarre start with an ageing weak pack a non existent 6 and a Coach with no idea before even getting to Myler.

totally agree, lets judge Myler when we have winning competing side.

I'm not saying Myler is a bad player or that he's to blame for last season.
I am saying he's the wrong type of HB we needed

not sure i would agree with that, as above looked good early season and was getting praise from others, i remember John wells saying is Myler finally at the right club at the right time, then the wheels fell off.

Not having an half back partner was /is the problem, Sutcliffe is useless, moon wanted to go home from about March and disappeared rest of season, and no other options only Lilley who was shipped out to Bradford. Plus the worst softest leeds Pack since about 1987
Myler sent the last 3 years of his career trying to guide awful sides around the park, still reserve judgement on Myler with an attack minded coach and better side around him.

Yet again, I didn't say Furner or new set up won't improve him.

What I've said is *When* we signed him we needed an organiser more than we needed what Myler was offering at the time.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Wed Nov 14, 2018 7:42 pm  

When we signed myler we actually needed two HB's as moon was never up to the job.

Only signing one put myler is the position of trying to do his job, carry moon and play behind an aging pack.

I agree that he wasn't all we needed when he came.

I think he did a decent job overall though and with a proper Hb to play with and a bit more dominance from the pack and he will show up to be a decent player.

I agree with that Tbh

That’s fine but I was watching him closely for England at the weekend; nice passing game, very committed in defence given his size limitations, big effort - but kicking game total pants and not the running game to cause concern in good opposition.
He’s solid enough. Then again I always thought he was overrated at Warrington. The side does have worse problems to deal with - my original point was just that I wouldn’t mind someone else nudging past him to partner Lolohea (if we can get him match fit..).
