can you please say that again in english

targeted were ,they wernt in the game to do that to anyone ,are you sure you were at the same game as me .

His defense is not weak. He will play whether it be from the bench or not is up to smith

I don't understand how anyone can say he's been weak defensively. OK, if you compare him to Ben Westwood he's crap. Then again, Ben Westwood would be the world's worst scrum half. It's like the time George Clooney tried to play Defenseman for the Pittsburgh Penguins - awful Hockey player. However, as an actor, he's got some talent.

For a half back, for his size, he's been excellent.

They beat us in Perpigan how could they not have been in the game? Smith even said on BBC after we played them in the semi that he kept Myler on the bench as they had targeted him in the league game.

Strange thread, smacks of "nothing to moan about let's pick on Myler now Penny's going".

Heard from a reliable source yesterday that Smith took Myler to one side in a training session this week and told him he wouldn't be in the 17 for the final, apparantley Myler broke down in tears.

Will be Monas at 7, Clarke & Higham with the hooking duties.

Gutted for the lad if this turns out to be correct. I personally think Myler can be a game breaker and any breaks or half breaks that are made, you know he'll be there to finish off.

Be gutted if he's left out. Deserves his place, Mickey Higham is awful.

Worse than Clarke?

Twaddle. He might not play but no way would Smith do it like that.

Why would you leave one of the best support players in SL out of your 17? Believe this one when the side's announced.

Word going around today was he has been dropped with;

Briers and Monas in the halves.
Clarke starting at hooker with Micky interchange hooker.

this is all speculation at the moment but I had a feeling this might happen (IF it does)...gutted for him I really am...but this is a team game...no player is bigger than the team, and if TS thinks the best team to win the cup doesn't feature Myler, then so be it...he'll get his chance..either later this year in the play offs..or next year when we compete on all fronts again.

We went into the lion's den with Myler playing and still won.

Tough for the lad if true real tough and not an easy thing to deal with.

I know it was because Catalans got to him over in France that he dropped him to the bench but I don't think Myler has faced Leeds once this season due to injury so you can't make same case? I would of expected him to be at least on the bench.

If he is dropped then what would happen if we faced Leeds in the playoffs would he be dropped again?

i wouldn't believe this, its taking out one of our main strike weapons, i think it weakens us slightly more than it strengthens it.

19 man squads out at 2pm today aint they?

so if he has been dropped and we go to lose all this iswt will be proved bull ? lol he cant be dropped surly ill be annoyed if he has

i have also heard he has been dropped.

Interesting selection if true..... if it is true and we lose smith could find himself 'getting the blame'

Personally I'd start Myler but if it's true he's not starting, give him a bench spot... Let's face it, Briers, Myler & Monas at 6, 7 & 9 after Clarke is subbed is better than Briers, Monas & Higham... Even Briers and Monas on their own would be better than with Higham! He's toilet!!

I think it weakens us significantly if Monaghan isn't playing at hooker, he is one of (if not the most) destructive hooker in SL around the ruck. I appreciate what Clarke brings to the table but speed wise our game will slow down with him at 9, he's ok at basic distribution either to the left or the right but he's no Monaghan and he won't look to take on the line in the same way that Monaghan does.

Were one of the quickest teams in the league at moving the ball across the line and Monaghan plays a significant part in that, i'd play Myler for his support play and cover tackling and go with Clarke and Higham on the bench as Clarke can play a number of positions from the bench which is useful to have.

My bench would be Higham, Clarke, Wood and Solomona which is a strong bench with plenty of options. I don't think we need 2 props as Harrison can move up to prop during the game if need be with Clarke coming on at 13.

Personally i think Smith will start with Clarke at 9 and Monaghan at 7 with them moving around during the game, its just i think he will go with experience and a bit of steel ahead of Myler.

They have a lot of pace in the middle with McGuire and Burrow, we'll need similar pace at spells during the game if the forwards make a break as Myler is our equiveleant of the early version of Danny McGuire at finishing off tries in a support role. McGuire has really developed his game of late to a lot more than just a support runner.

Is squad announced at 2pm today?

Ban him.

Monas is 1 of the best hookers in the league & moving him to the halfs negates his main strength, but in Smith we trust

leeds have annpunced there squad
