surely this is meant to say flashes of Primrose, when the little nipper flies in for another one of his tries! lol



great signing in my opinion and definitely one for the future, maybe even one to build a squad around?

Notwithstanding the above I must admit I do want more from him eventually than a good defence and backing up. When Briers retires a lot of attacking responsibility will fall on his shoulders. We need someone who will probe, take on, and run through, the line.

IMO, he needs to step up more and take more control of the game; Tomkins esq, he needs to step up and kick more, fifth play tackles go to Briers 95% of the time.

I'll be honest and say I would prefer Tomkins over Myler but we never had that choice. Myler will still need an attacking halfback partner in 2011 when Briers has gone.

He has had a great first season, his defence and support play is great and his kicking game close to the line is good enough. He has not got the long kicking game that most half backs have but he will develop that over the years. It is good that we have a different type of half back to Briers. You will rarely see Myler throwing long 20-30 meter passes along the line like Briers can but he does not really need to as Monaghan can do this.



Although Myler and Briers have not played together as much as we would have hoped they do have a good understanding together when it comes to puting kicks behind the defence such as in the Wigan game where Myler could have scored 3 or 4 times

Has he got the skill and guile to break the line with ball in hand though? That is what we need from a halfback together with a ball playing LF in my view.

Let us not forget he has a fair few years of development in front of him.

I think he will take off alot next season, and I mean alot.

What are the respective ages of Tomkins, Eastmond and Myler?

Of course he has, as have Tomkins and Eastmond.

Why do we have to castigate young players.



Let them develop and encourage them.



I've today seen Sam Tomkins give a display that took my breath away (look at the HKR speccies views on their site) but he will make mistakes.

These young players are still learning the game, give them time.

21, 21, 20.

i think he's brought what we needed, another genuine scoring threat, not from set plays but broken play, backing up, that was missing from our squad last year, whether he controls the team, i know its a major part of his position but he's doing exactly what we signed him for, and can't have any complaints about that so far

I listened to your game today and Tomkins sounded unbelievable yet again, they said he caught the ball in his in goal, stepped four and was unlucky not to score.



I dread to think what he will be like when he hits 25+!

I agree I like Myler. But who is going to make the broken play when Briers departs?
