| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"Posters on here made assertions with regard to Miller, I pointed out simple facts regarding his treatment by the club/Radford which is a direct connection as to why the club are paying him off/forcing him away from the club..can you not see the direct connection between the two?
Then to prove the point I substituted the word 'coach' into a posters words to make the point that his statement is actually more applicable to Radford than Miller..I think the two are inextricably linked in this conversation especially since the actions of the coach and club have a direct bearing on how others see our club and the performance of the team and individual players themselves which again is linked back to Miller and why we have the topic at all.
Do we want our players to be treated fairly or don't we? Do we want to encourage youngsters or just go with a 33 year old on his last legs.
Pretty much every topic is linked in some way, not talking about all aspects that have an affect on our club makes a mockery of having an open forum for discussion.
Just because some forum members including moderators don't like the opinion of certain other members when it is clear that aspects of the conversation are directly linked to the topic shouldn't mean that those with a differing opinion be gagged..Or are you going to warn me about criticism of the moderation process again?
It isn't criticism, it is as before an open query given your post above in relation to staying on topic??'"
If miller was a good enough player n able to do what we need he'd be our scrum half. Simple really. Can't kick short, can't kick long can't drop a goal defence is flimsy n although has some other skills can't seem to have a sense of time as to when's best to run or pass or kick.
Radford give him a go after waiting for his chance. He failed

| I thought Long, Seymour and Miller would all do a job for us when initially signed.
Wrong with all three.
I'm gonna predict Marc Sneyd will be useless for us.

| Isn't the fact that Millers kicking game (which is one of our biggest problems)is about the worst I have seen from any of our halfbacks in the last few years, enough to say he isn't good enough to play SL yet. Add to the fact the rest of his game is hit and miss and he struggled to make a big impact in the championship with Donny, tells me this is the right decision at this time, in 2/3 years he may turn into a good halfback, but we can't afford to pay him six figures hoping he improves all of his game massively in the off season.

All true but if your main aim in life is to diss the coach then you have to ignore the plainly obvious.

| I think Seymour was scapegoated far more under Gentle (and I'm including AP in that) than Milky has been under Radders.

| Quote *1865*="*1865*"Exactly. Nobody on here was more for giving Miller a chance than me, he just didn't take it. Abdul showed more in his half a dozen performances.
Purely for the cap he needs to move on, we can't afford to have a 4th or 5th choice halfback on a 6-figure salary. Now, as JTP said, if he was on a more realistic salary it may be worth persevering with him as he does have some potential, but we can't put two or three years into someone at that sort of salary or else all our juniors would want similar.'"
I'll echo that, sadly. I honestly thought (and still do) that Miller has very good potential. He could/should have been handled better here, and who knows, he might have done better if we had. I don't think it can be argued that he hasn't been given [iany[/i chance, though. Maybe not as much as some others, and arguably in less than ideal situations, but he did have chances he missed. After the Salford game I honestly thought he'd kick on, but it didn't really happen. I think people go OTT about him not being any good, though. He has shown glimpses, just not enough. It's similar to the blind Radford-knocking, it's not necessary to ignore the good things they've done to make a valid case, and if anything undermines the argument.
Didn't really deserve to be forced out IMO, but it's not exactly unfair or unjustified that we've brought other options in. Best for all that he move on to a decent club if he can now.
