I would agree. It was Briers in control of that game and he made some crafty plays. Loved that wind up at the end where everyone was anticipating a drop goal but he went for the line. When he decides to play he is good. I think it's going to be hard for Myler to really make an impact at Wire while Briers is still there.



Mind you, Castleford did give the game away in the second half, which was disappointing as I was hoping for 80 minutes of good rugby, not a series of cock ups by Castleford in the final 40.



Having said all of that, Kyle would still benefit from a halfback partner who can actually do the job, which clearly Pryce can't or won't (whichever). I do wish Potter would see the light on this and change things around.

and thats my point, Kyle is much more talented than Myler, IMO, but just wont get the oppertunity to prove it with pryce in this run (6 months+) of form

Lee briers would be the perfect stand off for eastmond. He's very clever player.



Has anyone thought that maybe eastmond is the reason why leon has been rubbish?



Leon needs a long next to him as much as eastmond needs a briers. Maybe they just don't click. If that's the case then potter has to choose who stays in the halfback.

yup, they dont seem to work together, thats why i'd try wheeler at for a few games, see what happens

Not having an on form Long for the last 6 months of the season was the biggest reason for his lack of form IMO.

In that case would we prefer pryce with a good scrumhalf or eastmond with a good stand off?



To be fair on both its early days for them. They may well click in time.

Eastmond at 7 for me.







True enough, a ball handling 13 woukd take some of the pressure off too.

IM told jon wilkin is a ball handling 13.

I think he's shown the ability to do it, but hasn't really been given a run in playing the role or shown a great deal of consistency for me. He's no Scully, but he probably doesn't need to be.

He's had one good game at leeds in the CC. One good game in 3yrs imo is not good enough.

I think you're being a touch harsh on him there.



He's had many a good game, he's just not directed the team around like he did that day, but when you're being played as a running second rower like he has been how can you be expected to?

I am prob being little harsh on wilkin.



To be honest i just don't rate him or like him.
