Dos anyone know whether Warrington showed an interest in Richard Myler when he went from Widnes to Salford?

Is Myler good enough in defense? Briers gets enough stick for his defensive skills at times

Got to Myler for me, quality player with great potential to be a real star.

Would we have won today if Briers had played 80 minutes?

It makes you wonder how any other team in the competition is ever able to win games, seeing as Warrington are the only team to have Briers? Who do other teams have at halfback...?

Be as dismissive as you like. Firstly, I have no interest in how other teams operate. Secondly, there is a definite correlation between Briers' absence and defeats. It could be as simple as a lack of a kicking game.

Myler for me to replace Briers if we don't give him a new contract. Yes he will cost but he's only 19 and the cost could be matched against the service we get from him for over 10 years for example ala Briers. Plus he isn't half bad at being a goal kicker too.

Just to add 3 games Briers hasn't played this season Salford Away, Castleford Home and Hull KR Murrayfield 3 defeats!!

Totally agree.

We are totally devoid of ideas when Briers doesn't play.

But we also badly missed the go forward of Morley and Westwood.

Halfback in pivotal role shocker!

I've not seen that much of Myler. Some think he's more of a support player in the mould of Sean Edwards - great at being in the right place at the right time to finish moves but not a great creator of chances. Anyone want to put me right on that?

But why did Bradford Win yesterday when they had two absolutely shocking halfbacks on display ???

Deacon was woeful his kicking game was terrible and he created nothing, and Ben jeffries..... is well ..... Ben Jeffries i only noticed his involvement when he lay on the floor wasting time at a play the ball......

but the Bradford Team were enthusiastic and worked hard...they still chased down Deacon's poor kicks making them look half decent...and when Deacon kicked to touch we'd be good enough to loose posession early in the set to give Bradford the ball back and when Moanaghan kicked out on the full Bradford scored in the next set......


Mathers is going to be our most creative half back when Briers is out ...
