Rather strange the telegraph and argue ran that story today, I know it's a slow news period but was there any real need for a "here's what you could have won" moment. Thought it was all common knowledge anyway at the time and find it ironic they bring it up now when his name was barely mentioned by the rag when we were linked with him

Another in a long list of average British half backs. Him & Myler are almost inseparable in ability.

I think it's a tad unfair to judge O'Brien when he's not had any kind of reasonable run to build confidence or even show what he can do. Would agree about Myler who hasn't really kicked on after hype he got as a junior. Both are still young enough though - and maybe half back isn't even their best position, we do have a habit of sticking these positional straitjackets around what are basically young underdeveloped players..

The parallels with Matty Smith are there for all to see. At least Deacs could kick.

To have sufficient time on your hands to immerse yourself in yawnion would be the equivalent of missing out on purgatory & entering straight into eternal damnation.
