Stop trying to force it Tony, it hasn't and never will work

2nd'd.

I could not fathom Bridge at today. Poor performances all around, though.

Yaaaawwwwnnnn. No, they don't but I know nowt about half-backs despite 40 years watching them, so I'll leave it to the self-satisfied, self-appointed experts on here to explain Myler's worth.

Myler doesn't work with either.

2nd half bridge and ratchford swapped.

And we looked better but not like we did on our 10 game run without Myler in the halves.

Myler is rubbish and Asotasi wants sending home. Consistently awfull!!!!!

Myler doesn't work with O'Brien either....yet people on here say mylers Warringtons best half back...ok :/ warringtons biggest ego more like!

this

we need a no 7 who can control a game and look like he wants to win. Id love a Luke Walsh!!

For goodness sakes, let's not start the scrum-half debate again.

We had a half-back partnership in Rathford & Bridge that wasn't just working, but working well and had guided us through our best form of the season, with some superb rugby to boot.

Yes, we do need a new half-back but why try and re-implement the failed partnership of Myler & Ratchford in the biggest game of the season?

Spot on.Don't know about players suffering from brain farts,Mr Smith must have had 1 making that choice.

I'm not slagging either off, I'm saying as a pair they bring the worst out of each other.

Quite so, and it's a half-back [ipartnership[/i. It is a unique relationship on the field and irrespective of the individual merits of the two individuals, they have to work well in tandem. And Myler & Ratchford, don't.

Once Smith made the change we looked much better. Myler was excellent in the second half and Ratchford looked better in the centre role.

I'm just as concerned about our pack to be honest, other than hill I don't really think our props are up to much. England could be good enough but I don't think he is fully adjusted yet, woody has been good for us but he is still nothing special and asotasi is just horrible to watch. Our only real light is being held by Ben Evans who is very unfortunately out injured just as he was coming good, I am not sure if Harrison would be better at prop or as a long term second row option. Either way I think releasing carvell is looking like a terrible decision.

Myler needs more time than he is being given to do anything effective, for me ratchford would be one of the first names on the team sheet but it's hard to choose any other half than bridge at the minute.

Bizarre decision to not play Bridge and Ratchford from the start together.

Overall, it needs sorting, this article in rugby league world actually IN my opinion shows you what's wrong, personally I think we're sorted for 6, we need a leading 7.

4 interchanging isn't a solution long term, we need a settled pairing to guide us around, I'd be inclined to make a cheeky bid for Scott dureau

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan Atkins moving to second row.

He is certainly strong enough. I think we need another quality prop sims would be good as prop or second row. I hope he bring all of his aggression we are a bit too nice this season.

Find me any half back pairing that can work behind a pack where our best prop we have gives the team the go forward with a total of four drives in that first half ... It aint gonna happen .

Myler is dreadful, full stop.

Never seen him take a game by the scruff of its neck and boss it, dare I say he's probably too busy being a celebrity husband these days!

Only thing he's been good at is being at the end of moves to score the odd try with some pace.

Koukash might be stupid enough to snap him up and let us make some of the fee back.

And I'm not going to even start with Asotasi!

You can have him on loan until the end of the season.

Myler played reasonably well today (today, for me, was a lack of pace and power in the forwards). But he's too much in the back seat while plays are about to start for a Scrum Half. He's not really a first receiver type of player. What he does have is incredible support play (he's always there when someone makes a break) and his kicking from hand is probably the best in our team. He gets over the top stick, for me.

We don't have any natural Half Backs in our team. So when we play any of them together they don't particularly work that well. Sometimes it'll come off, or sometime one or the other will have a good game. But overall none of them really work that well together.

First half - myler and ratchford in the halves and we were worse than abysmal in attack. Second half - myler and Bridge in the halves and we create more chances(and blew them)than leeds did in the entire game. Now either bridge is some sort of world class stand off or the problem lies elsewhere. Is all this based on the fact we paid a large fee for myler and got ratchford for free? Because anyone who wants to slag off myler after today and think ratchford is even a championship standard halfback needs to have a long think. We've tried ratchford in five different positions now and is anyone the wiser to where his actual best position is?
