Dip in form lately? All we hoped for when we signed him? Discuss.

dip in form



probably his best display in the p&b last night... well i thought so anyway.

Haven't seen what TS obviously sees in him yetbut there have been flashes of promise and I am sure he will develop in the coming years.

I think his support play is fantastic. It is his first season and I can only see him improving year on year

He clearly brings something additional to the Wire mix; his ability to be in the right place at the right time and his speed off the mark. I also like his party trick of stealing the ball in a one on one situation. I suppose in recent times the nearest equivalent has been Sean Edwards - so if Myler reaches those same heights as he matures, then I for one will be well pleased.

he makes up for it in other ways



no seroiusly he is doing well for his first season and has plenty of time to mature into the team. He's a good un'

14 tries in 18 league games and 10 assists so far in his first season with all the pressure on him when he came here at 19 with the price tag I would say he's done very well and is only going to get better.

He'll be the real deal once he has a kicking game - nothing to speak of at the mo as most kicking is taken care of by Briers and Monas (and Clarke). Hopefully he's learning off the master. I'd expect him to be using the boot more next season.

Totally agree - he has a lot to learn but he has indeed done well this season. Not to be underestimated is his defence - think he works hard here.

I've enjoyed watching him this year. He's a long career ahead of him and just this year alone his support play has been brilliant. Also a solid defender and really worthy of the 7 shirt.

Lets hope he carries on through the playoffs and at Wembley and can iron the kinks out and improve his current form in the off-season.

The fact is was realistically available unlike Eastmond and Tomkins?

The best support player since Shaun Edwards

Think McGuire takes that award

I have been chuffed with Richie's FIRST season. he is only 19 years old.
He has scored 17 tries and will continue to get them by the bag full each year.
Don't forget that he suffered a knee injury that kept him out mid season.

Well Done Richie, I look forward to watching you in the P & B for years to come.

Is Myler, 71's new Clarke ?

Not at all. I'm a huge fan of his.

I understand why you've asked the question though. He's not such a flashy player as Eastmond or Tomkins and I think when Briers is not there, he does look a little lost. However, I think he's going to get better and better. I hope he doesn't end up like Luke Robinson though as I do see some similarities (a player I like but not absolutely top notch).

I just watched the game from Friday again and didn't realise how involved he was in most of the tries. Even a few kicks came off well. I particularly like his quiet yet focused attitude. Doesn't throw teddy out at every decision. Will enjoy watching this kid mature. His pace is really quite something.

For me, the big, big plus is his defence. He's very good in this area and in fact he's a bloody threat to the ball carrier as the number of times he comes away with it is unreal. He's had a disrupted season at times, he's missed a chunk, Lee has missed a chunk so they've done well for me to forge the relationship that they have, at Wigan for example they couldn't have been more on the same page.

I think at times, there's way too much attention on what folk can't do and we're in danger of overlooking what he can do, and do very well.

he can have the game of his life at wembley and win it for us, but if he makes one mistake what doesn't even make a difference people on here would still make a topic about it and say is he worth that much money? In my opinion is that at the moment he isn't but in a few years hopefully he would have been.

Didnt think much when we 1st signed him but couldnt agree more with the above.More than happy with his 1st season

the best thing about him is that when we first signed him everyone started to criticise his defense but that has been one of his best attributes especially in one on one tackles.

i don't think anyone criticised his defence, if anything it was that which impressed me the most.

There were some fantastic threads on the Salford board doing just that when we signed him. Ratchford is much better apparently. Not any more though. It's Broughton's turn this season.

The kids done good. He was brought in with one eye on learning from and eventually taking over from Lee. Given that he is still very much "learning the game" I'll be lookign forward to seeing how he finishes off the season/performs next.
