Good analysis J20. The lad is young and will continue to thrive with better class players around him. Every time we make a break, Myler is first to see the potential and back up.

That's a very good post and a pretty good point you make about kyle and tomkins relying on pace and losing that as they get older. I was thinking the same thing other day about when kyle is older and lost his pace, but longy was the same. Longy used to rely on pace but was class act that just changed the way he played as all great players do.



IMO both tomkins and kyle have the class to change their game if they do one day lose there pace.

I reckon we give him until Salford are back in the Championship. By 2012 he'll be one of the best scrum halves in Super League.



Will everyone in Birchwood return to supporting Warrington then?

There is no "moral" to this story. However, it's true to say that every dog has its day in the sun.

Just on the £200K vs 12 years argument, there are no guarantees beyond his 4 year contract.

Sam Tomkins is already becoming a much better allround player. He is top of the try assists at the moment.

What is the kicking/passing split?

Putting my neck out here but I didn't have any major concern over our attack last friday. Yes, it was occasionally basic but lets all remember that we scored as many as they did. I said building up to the game that whilst I'm a massive fan of Briers', I'd seen enough steel in our defence recently to allow myself a little quiet confidence.



Our defence just had to be better on the night to win there, and it wasn't.



As for Myler, are people seriously ripping into him here? Jesus.

Probably around 50:50

His attacking kicking has been very good, but he needs to work on his long kicking game.

Reading Wayne Bennetts 'don't die with the music in you', he talks about how Langer had no long kicking game whatsoever, then, when people moved on - he literally self taught himself & practised and developed one to compliment would he could do.



I'm sure Smith will be the same with Myler.

If you have read Bennett you would say that Myler would need to develop the kicking game for himself. Intrinsic not extrinsic.

Firstly, give Myler a chance. Much has been said about the different styles and the fact that Eastmond and Tomkins look more dynamic and therefore catch the eye. A couple of years will show the truth....
