I think going off this, he did a fair bit against the SL Champions today. Looks like his stock is on the rise, pretty much a love-in, this thread.


Is this going to be the norm where if Myler has a good game you feel the need to bounce this thread up which has turned into a non Warrington thread in the main now ? When we have the troubles as a club that we do at present then neither Myler or Tomkins concerns me, i certainly won`t be bouncing this thread up if Tomkins has a good game just like he did against Quins and the Bulls which were both on sky.

A couple of quotes from that thread you have highlighted.

rhinoms wrote:He was good but imo the reds pack led by cashmere,stapleton and alker did us.


tad rhino wrote:had a decent game,but playing behind a pack that was totally and utterly dominant it wasn't hard to look good


These quotes are valid for the point i`m going to make, have you seen the pack that Tomkins is playing behind which is one of the worse in the history of Wigan or are you choosing to ignore that ? Even a world cup winner like Thomas Leuluai is struggling to make any real impact apart from the odd bits and pieces here and there which is basically feeding off crumbs from behind the poor performances of the Wigan pack. To be honest you have to feel for a kid thats trying to make his way in the game in having to play behind such a dire pack as that one at Wigan, you would only take Gareth Hock from out of those Wigan forwads and he himself was missing against Catalan.

I remember when Sullivan and Briers were getting slating on a regular basis on here when people were calling them both poor halfbacks and the defence from quite a few regulars at the time was "Your halfbacks are only as good as the pack they are playing behind" which is very true unless your a certain player and you don`t want to be here anyway.

Terry O`Connor made the point in the Catalan game that Wigan are far too slow at the play of the ball and basically everything they do is in slow motion, Tomkins at present from what ive seen of him looks like he has been told to keep it simple and let the more experienced Thomas Leuluai run the ball which is fair enough as he`s basically way down the track as far as experience goes which is where Richie Myler has a big head start over Tomkins hence i was on about in the future, a few games into SL has hardly taken us into the future has it ......


JWP wrote:On one of your posts, you sort of indicate that Myler may or not be SL class, has he done enough yet to convince that he is ?


And as for the point above, i indicated nothing of the sort. If you read back you will find that i said Myler may or may not turn out to be SL class as only time will tell which is a natural thing for anyone to say about a player that hadn`t even played a single game of SL at that point and was nothing more than a NL 1 rookie at the time.

Not at all Rob.

I thought it was relevent, given the fact that Salford had won at Leeds and days before the debate was about Myler/Tomkins and how they showed up against the 'big teams'. I suppose also, I read the thread back, and you & Sally seemed to think Myler wasn't a signing 'for the now' if you get me, you thought it was a three year jobbie, and we didn't have time to wait so to speak, we needed a 'now signing', I guess I wanted to highlight that he very much is, I reckon behind our dominant pack yesterday, we'd have beaten Castleford for example.

What did you make of Bridge & Monas yesterday Rob ?

we are in the market for a nippy number seven with plenty of cunning and guile but jimmy krankie is contracted to butlins for the summer!
we might as well make light of things and keep smiling as tony smith will get the job done,i know we'll see improvements soon even though this season could be a long one.
the highlight for me yesterday was my 5 year old son looking at me with 10 minutes to go and saying through a popcorn filled mouth
"dad,wires are not very good today are they?"
"no,they are struggling mate,do you want to come next time?"
"yeah"
that says it all really,we get fed up but we all turn up nontheless
keep smiling :D
