Don't think it matters either way as long as you have one playmaker type halfback and one running halfback. You can't have two of the same type. I wouldn't pair McGuire with Myler.

Remember with Myler he is going through the obligatory second stage of a new British player coming through

stage 1 - talented player emerges, fans of his club brag about how great he is, Eddie starts talking about him as the future of rugby league
stage 2 - gets described as most overrated player in the league
stage 3 - either fades away or gets respect

Danny McGuire had this, remember for a while Noble was getting slagged off for not picking him for Great Britain, we would have beaten the Aussies if we had McGuire at stand off instead of Harris and so on. Then everybody started saying McGuire was a one trick pony all he had was pace and nothing else. Now he has got respect again.

Ben Westwood had this as well, he was "the next Keith Senior" and Warrington signed him, then he became Ben Deadwood, now everybody likes him.

I reckon after the Four Nations this year when we lose to the Aussies, Sam Tomkins will take the mantle of most overrated player in the league.

Just saw this on twitter- "Heard Briers is going now we're out the play-offs because him and Myler don't get on, that's why Myler hasn't been playing". I think its a load of garbage but its apparently been confirmed by a Widnes player involved with the Wire. Anyone know anything about this?

I would'nt be supprised if young Myler is unhappy apart from being left out on a couple of occasions the only chant we have for him is to insult his hometown club. I cringe everytime it's sung, what kn*bs we are sometimes.

Wait till they hear about this in Hull, the Humberside Briers-spotters will be in overdrive.

just got to wait and see next season, we can't carry on playing monas in the halves just doesn't work. also think bridge needs to be in the team look alot more of a threat when him and higham came on last night.

Heard the same story about Briers & Myler not getting on. This was a week before Wembley.

And to think some of you actually believed he was better than Sam Tomkins at the beginning of the year...

Surely Myler would be the one to go not Mr Warrington Wolves Lee Briers

I heard their was talk of loaning out Myler.

Remember when Monas arrived - apparently he and Briers didn't get on either? Don't you just love gossip?



As for the Penny comment - its a shame for him really. He emerged far too quickly. But also don't you think there isn't much of a place for wingers like Penny? The way SL is played, it seems you want a much larger winger, with a smidge of pace but good strength too. A la Richards, Hicks, Gardner, Hall. Even Riley is more robust and has a good burst of speed rather than length of pitch stuff. I actually was surprised Saints play that new kid (sorry his name escapes me

) but I was stood next to him the other day and he is bigger than I thought. Anyway, you can't compare Penny to Myler. Myler has worked his way through an RL background. Penny hadn't touched a rugby ball before!

Myler has just had a bit of first seasonitis. Next season is make or break for him. And I maintain that it is difficult to compare Myler and Tomkins. They play a totally different game and are at different stages in their career. Sam is certainly peaking at the moment.

I think it's time to bite the bullet and say thank for the service Lee.

They are completely different players so only a complete buffoon would compare them. Are you comparing them?

When Lee Briers hangs his boot up then and only then will you get the best out of young Richard Myler.

In my opinion you need to build your team around this very talented young player, it was very clear to see when Richard was at the Willows he was no where near the finished article and to be honest I was sick when the Reds decided to let him go.

Well he's your player now and thats life I suppose, I'm sure your head-coach will sort out a decent long-term partner for Myler in time.

SEE YOU ALL NEXT SEASON.... CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY YOU AGAIN.

No just laughing at the idiots who even tried to compare them at the beginning of the season

We will have the young lad back at Salford
'IF YOU DON'T WANT HIM ANYMORE'

FAIR COMMENT 'Dyson'

In my opinion Lee Briers has been a very good player, but like every player in the greatest game there comes a time to admit you can't hack it anymore but like most players that decsion has to be made for them.

I am delighted he won silverware with us, to him and the fans it means a lot. But last night I really thought the time has come to say goodbye.

Your right he's just not the same player he was 3 weeks ago when winning the Lance Todd.

briers ain't the same player. just as laughable as solomona needs to go thread. he has been great all season and has two poor games at the end of the season and you say it's time to let him go. obviously mr smith doesn't agree and i take his word over everyone on here.

I mean for the evolution of the club, and I personally still think Hicks should have won the Lance Todd.

what for for being on the end of briers' kicks and passes? i dont think so!

when and where has myler complained about being unhappy at warrington???

The Myler situation gives me great confidence in Tony Smith. I'm glad to see that TS doesn't feel he has to play a player that isn't performing as he likes just because he signed him. I said at the start of the season i wasn't overly impressed by Myler as i like creative half backs and my opinion hasn't changed an awful lot over the course of the season.

I'd like somebody to pinpoint the games in which myler has been underperforming. If TS wanted somebody with an all round game he shouldn't have spent 200 grand on myler who's main attribute is support play and he is brilliant at it. Don't forget that briers missed a large chunk of the early season due to his injury against wigan and we managed to win most of the games in his absence.

All of the Hicks tries in the CC Final required more than just a simple touchdown.

Give him due credit.
