I still think Myler’s deficiencies at FB will become more apparent as the year goes on - having said that he is by far our best option currently. I’m still not convinced a fit Walker is the answer either, although he was in good form a few years ago.

Really excited about a Newman/Broadbent future; those boys could both develop into international players.

Martin and Mellor both need to do more but one coming off injury and another COVID; be interesting to see how they go through the season.

Agree with all this Jim

Myler looks really good when he pushes up into the line in the opposition's 20 and he certainly knows how to pick a final pass or even get onto the end of any breaks and to score himself, I suppose that is what he was renowned for as a half back playing at his best at the Wolves whilst playing outside of Briers who was the controlling half back.(A bit like he is now whilst playing behind Gale, even though he's playing at full back)

Defensively he was at fault for giving Johnstone 10 metres room on the touchline side (Although T Briscoe was also at fault too) When IMO his job is to only give a speedster like Johnstone 5 metres and to take him out irrespective of if he passes the ball inside to a supporting player.

Martin and Mellor certainly need to offer far more in attack than was evident yesterday from them both especially with Sam Walters chomping at the bit for a role in the 17

I was really impressed with Cam Smith when he came on and he would be in my starting side each week at 13

Broadbent was also very good in attack although he did miss a couple of tackles, although Bill Tupou is a very good centre and has ripped holes on his edge against more seasoned pro's than Jack

There might have been an argument to play A Sutcliffe on the right and Jack on the left, where he’s more used to.

What I would say is that despite some defensive lapses he is adding more to the team going forward than most of the rest of the side.

This is again why I question re-signing L Sutcliffe - he seems a popular lad but he doesn’t get in my 17 even now when everyone else is fit, never mind about next year.

I’d be giving Jack a run on that left edge at least until Hurrell is fit again.

Good as that is we need a back rower who does more than make the tackles that come their way, make some impact with the ball.

But they prove Mellor didnt do nothing surely.

It shows he worked in defence but did little in attack. He was either not running the right lines or Gale was not putting him through the holes. Hopefully this is an area where we will improve.
