How old's Myler? About 20?

I have made the point loads of times and will continue to try and make the point that buying Aussies isn't the way to success. Just consider the relative impact of young kid Myler and so called old hand Moanahan (yes I have spelt it correctly) on todays game.

Does that need an answer, obviously Myler.

He's 18 or 19

easy myler by a country mile , he kicks wheres theres space , brings his team mates in the game by making up plays , dosent mke much errors and can score tires something that monaghan cant do , myler reminds me of westerman , 2 good english youngsters

myler by a country mile! glad he's playing for us, doubt it for much longer though!

Emphasis's what I've been trying to say for ages. Send the bloody lot back and bring our kids on.

Monas has just lost his edge, that's all.

You watch him in the NRL next year, he'll be a world beater.

Lost his edge to an 18 year old? If he's that good he could play in 2nd gear and still shine in todays game. Lets just forget the Aussies altogether and develop the lads.

myler good pace, good kicking game, clever with ball in hand and defence isnt to bad either think its to early to see just how good he is going to be

Moanaghan isn't fit to lace Mylers boots on the evidence of them both playing in this comepetition, even at that age.

With the likes of Eastmond and Myler coming through, and already looking like top class players, the future of the British game looks quite bright.

Myler would run riot in a decent side, he really would.

Ridiculous comparison.

Mona's easily.

If you mean who's been better this season at halfback in SL, then it's Myler, but in general it's Monaghan.

Good English talent. Yes we have got it.

Would you like to explain how?

Maybe Scott Leatherbarrow or Gareth O'Brien should play on Monday then.

At worst they can be as non influential as Moana.

Martin Moana? He retired years ago.

I doubt they'd defend as well as he does. (I'd drop him and have Briers and Bridge in the halves).

Monaghan could walk into any current NRL side, Myler couldn't.

Played at Swinton last year anyway that's Martin MOW ANA not Moana

On reputation maybe but certainley not on the form he has ever shown in any game in the UK. But the point is not to have a go at an individual player but to point out that Australia isn't the answer.

Exactly, "form". A player doesn't lose his skill and ability over night, but like I said early, Myler has been better so far this season.

And I'm pretty certain the best team in the world (Manly) would have him back in a shot, they no what he's capable of, as do most people who watched him at Manly.

But the point is not to have a go at an individual player but to point out that Australia isn't the answer.

Now you've lost me

Its hard to say because Monas is a hooker and Myler is a half back

From what I understand, Monaghan is a half back, he's just a better hooker. He says his preferred position is half back, and we've seen him do some great things at half back. There's something about him, the way he plays, the way he acts, that just spells out a man who's unhappy. He works hard and that's just the nature of him, but he always seems so annoyed, and it feels like he's waiting to bite somebody's head off.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but if Monaghan doesn't buck his ideas up then he must go, he must, because it's clear to see he isn't up to it, and from the way he's coming across, he doesn't look like he himself feels up to it.

Thanks for your comments but this thread's losing it's focus. The point of it was to try and say that Australian imports are not the way to short/ medium or long term success. It's not about individuals
