Not seen much of him, but he doesnt look the player everyone was making him out to be in the last couple of years?

He's doing OK IMO...the pass he made out of the tackle for Riley's second was class today....plus he was there when it mattered backing up for the final try. Still got plenty to offer and will get better.

If you've not seen much of him how can you make an assessment like that?

Because he's deep sea fishing.

Nothing to catch here Saintcj, run along.

My MOM today, looked very busy, also was asked a lot in defence, and all but the Chan try stood tall. Like his work ethic, but needs to get a bit more ball, we still always go to Briers over him, regardless of the context.

He's doing more than Kyle Eastmond. Played OK today.

I thought he had a decent game today.

Plus One

Plus one. Think he has matured and his support play & tackling is great.

Had a good game today. Worth the £200K debatable but a good game all the same. Great support player.

Saints fan in slag off Wire player shocker

He started last season really well scoring plenty of tries, one away at the pies particularly pleasing, and his defence improved massively. Will be interesting to see what happens when Hodgson is back. How will Smith accommodate Hodgson, Ratchford, Myler and Briers in the same side?

but what a nice problem...

Myler, if he stays fit, will score 20 tries per season. For me he has to stay in the side.

If we are going to objective tonight, i thought Hudds targetted Myler when they had the ball, they ran at him and i think the Hudds try in the 2nd half was Eden (i think) running at him, he's not a bad defender just if the big guys run at him he doesn't have the weight if he goes anywhere other than the legs.

Myler did O.K. for you lads tonight I thought. I've never really seen him have an effect against us before but tbf tonight I thought he did well. Credit where it's due. Still a tad shaky defensively but going forward looked a real asset.

So this is how SC decides to return to this board after years spent in embarrassment exile. Very poor.

If you think Myler is a 'tad shaky defensively' how do you describe Brough ?

Brough started well and had Eddie creaming himself. When the going got tough he completely disappeared.

He is still only 21 so i think he will only get better.

DITTO

I haven't seen any Saints games this year but I think they're crap and I can't see them making the top four this year. And Lee Gaskell used to be in Star Trek.

I think there will be a noticeable improvement in the maturity of his game. He appears to have improved his pass selection, certainly on last night's showing.

I will reiterate what I have said previously; he will find it difficult to dictate the ebb and flow of how we play with the likes of Briers and Monaghan in the side, but he is slowly pushing his way in.

Agree with this 100%.

He will never be a defender in the Monaghan class, but he has clearly worked really hard on his positioning and use of the body in defence and attempts to belittle him as a 'weak defender' are either nonsense or based on an assessment made a few seasons ago. He will miss the odd one, but so will any of the smaller guys - Monas himself made a bad miss yesterday. I do love Myler's ability to hold the ball up over the line, he seems to do that loads.

Get with it, it's harry potter not star trek.
