Totally agree with that, I just don't think he's as good as people make out, he fails to shine for me, granted I don't watch him every week but I don't think he's all that, he may turn out to prove me wrong and hopefully he does.

I'd much rather have Myler of the two. http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 Mylers tackling is not much worse than Tomkins, it's not normally a halfback primary objective. Myler does far more with the ball for me. Quite a few assists given he's in a struggling side.

Tomkins stats are impressive compared to Myler`s considering his is mainly a sub and Myler is on for the full 80 minutes. They are 2 good young prospects, i`m not knocking either here as all it is is giving opinions on both. Its just i prefer the more attack minded type of scrum half that likes to take the line on which is why i like Sam Tomkins, Richie Myler reminds me more of Shaun Edwards where he is a very good support player and finishes off the moves, Myler`s short kicking game from what ive seen is first class and slightly better than that of Sam Tomkins.

Oh I agree, I think they both have their strengths.

For me, I know what I want from my halfback, assists really in the main. If Salford have a decent second half to the season, and Myler stays fit, he'll finish with 20+ assists. In terms of a debut season in SL, you'd couldn't ask for mych more.

Thing is, there's so much improvement to come in the pair of them, frightening really. Couls easily be GB's 6 & 7 for a long, long time.

Anyway, nice to see a Warrington lad get man of the match, i thought Andy Coley was outstanding today.

is it just me or does anybody else not really see it in Sam Tomkins? I know the Wigan fans think he's better than Myler, but I just don't see it.

Me too matey, he is nothing special.

Tomkins looks a very good player, we would love to have a young back of this quality coming through.

Difficult to say if he will, but O'Brien looks a good prospect.
