I couldnt agree more. Littler is past it and is just not Super League level anymore, if he ever was in the first place. He is too slow and people just seem to run straight through him. Littler and Myler standing next to each other in defence is a disaster waiting to happen because neither can defend. This in addition to the fact that Littler cant/wont pass. Has he passed to his winger at all this season? I doubt it very much and he has blown tries the last few weeks as a result.
We are 4 or 5 players short of being really competitive at this level. Players like Littler, Paul and some of the forwards (who are all much the same but if we replaced 2 or 3 with better players then it would make a huge difference) are not good enough at this level.
