If we don’t sign one (preferably 2) established halves who have a kicking game, athleticism, and leadership then we will serve up much of the same next year. Replacing 2 halves in any off season is a big enough ask in itself. I wouldn’t be surprised if Myler has suddenly become our starting half for next season now. The club’s ambition will be clear to see based on these signings.
It’s possible that Lachlan Miller has been signed to play there. So that would mean one more.
Miller ? Sinfield Myler
With the latter two as back ups to those positions would be ok depending on who the question mark ends up being. Personally I’d try for Schneider from KR.

Surprised at Sezer going to wests, they must see something in him which I don’t. I sincerely hope we don’t go with Myler at half back, lack of pace and age being my reasons. I am not even comfortable with him at full back, as I have posted previously he is adequate at fullback nothing more. Anyway we need 2 half backs not certain any available at the moment. Thought we might be interested in Salfords Croft, looks like Salford have given him a long term contract. So signing him could be expensive. Surely Smith must have some input from Australia regarding regarding availability of half backs.

Also worth noting that he has played limited games in the halves. Was playing at fullback this year before being dropped. Could be decent, but hardly the established half we need.

Played halves in the NSW cup since then. Dropped is the wrong word really, only really had one howler then was sacrificed so ponga could be protected.

I haven't seen Miller play 6, but he's a dynamic fullback. Hooley showing he can at least be a good reserve fullback already makes the squad look a bit stronger. Be interesting to see if we go for more than one additional halfback. Mind you, just one good one will help.
