Orford and Myler : Wed May 06, 2009 7:20 am  

Alot of rumours flying around regarding these two, what are people's thoughts on them as a partnership? I know people like GDMM, Rob Wire and others watch alot of NRL so will be interesting to hear their views.

Orford is ok but wouldn't say he was in the same league as joey johns or alfie langer.

Myler is obviously young and talented but looks a bit light weight, hopefully he can beef up a bit when he comes to the wire.

I hope monaghan sticks around too.

The best 7 of the 90s and the best 7 of the 00s, nobody is in the same league as those two so that is hardly a criticism of Orford.

Orford is in the top few players in the NRL and has been for many years. He hasn't quite got the x-factor of a Thurston or a Prince, but has an excellent kicking game, good organisation and is nicknamed "the Ox" because of his strength and ability to punch above his weight in defence.

As long as he's in the league above Monaghan, that's all that matters to me!

That is highly debatable at this point in time!

Then the deal is off! I also forgot to mention that he needs to know how to smile, just every once in a while. At least give the impression that he wants to be here.

Would there really be a point to signing two number 7's at the same time?

I'd defintiely see Myler as the runner and sub-district as the organiser, in that respect I could imagine it working.

Think Myler would be better in more of a stand off role, like Maguire as he links up well.....He needs to improve his defence though.....

Wigan made that mistake with Gregory and Edwards
