Smith has to do what is right for the team. He cant just play Myler just because "he likes him". Plus i think he is far to small and young to be playing against the likes of Australia and New Zealand at the moment. Let him get some more games against the lesser nations for the time being.

The cynics amongst us would argue that Richie Myler has signed for Warrington now, so the need to pick him for England has diminished somewhat. Eastmond's contract is up next season so it's an ideal opportunity to evaluate his potential and character up close and have a little word-in-ear time.

The idiots might. Myler signed well before the squad was picked, has since played for England and clearly wasnt match fit. On second note, thank god he didnt enlist Pryce and carthorse then.

Smith has gone for the form players, that's why Myler isn't in the squad.

Myler has been dropped as Tomkins and Eastmond are playing at a higher standard than him currently
