I know folks on here generally are on a downer after the semi and he poor performance, but I am going to stand up for Richies performance on Saurday.
He made crucial tackles and scored a try. Overall he deserves a lot of credit in a losing side

Yep, I thought he played well, too.
I'll miss him when he's gone. A decent player, who, perhaps hasn't lived up to his big transfer fee.
....and I'll say it for the 10,000th time, he doesn't take the opposition line on, often enough

His tackling technique is as good as you could ever want in a half. He really wanted it on Saturday, he's been trying to gee up the crowd a lot lately I've noticed - and you can tell when they really mean it. Anyone else notice Sims doing the same thing but lifting his arms in the air as though we'd won the match... when we were losing?

Bit late now for myler to be doing this, now he'sout the door. However they should have been doing that to some of their team mates at the weekend.


Honestly, the amount of players on their knees, looking up in the air at the end of the game, was disproportionate to how many had the right to devastated.

Myler did indeed have an excellent game on Saturday, and when he takes the line on he has always looks extremely dangerous ........ but as lefty says, he simply doesn't do it often enough. This, allayed to a very average kicking game and a habit of going missing when we need direction and a flourish means he has never been, and never will be, the half back we need.

There was a moment in the semi when the momentum was against us and our grip on proceedings was loosening by the second and Myler was caught on camera at a scrum. He looked like a schoolboy whose lolly ice had just dropped off it's stick. No animation, anger, passion, direction or leadership whatsoever. Interestingly, in this weeks RL press Myler himself admits he has never been the most vocal of halves and leaves that to others.

Of course, you don't have to be vocal to be a good leader. Many great captains and players have let their deeds and skills speak more loudly but I'm afraid, on the whole, Myler has failed to lead the team in any fashion, vocally or otherwise.

All posts pretty much spot on he's very capable on the front foot but tends to look around for others when all's not well, his admission of not being vocal seems to point to him having to concentrate on his own game, halves have to be vocal and lead.

All the very best to him.

One of the finest half backs we've had was John Parry Gordon and he hardly ever uttered a word during the game, you don't have to be continually gobbing off to become one of the great halfbacks.

Good luck to Richie next year. His wire career is probably 7/10 which is a shame because he's not really progressed as he should have done.

Parry Gordon,sure was BBHO.
Myler always has had a good defence & has been superb at supporting & running through gaps created for him which is what Smith probably signed him for. His defence will be sorely missed as will that of Bridge.

I've got a sneaky feeling that may discover that we now have the perfect half back partner for Myler just as he's about to leave.

This is bound to happen isnt it...... the pair will be on fire for the rest of the season and we will be saying 'how did the club let myler leave like this'

+1 Myler could very well thrive off Mr Sandow....if he hits the ground running of course, we could upset a few before season is over.
