You have had a bad day, you don't need Myler!

Myler is quality, good game today though, see you all at the willows at the end of the season..

Myler is a quality player and has a big future in the game.
Who will be the future England SH - Myler or Eastmond ?

Myler was quality today. Haven't seen much of the lad but he looks the real deal. I was far, far more impressed with him than the skinny young travelling friend playing half back for Wigan.

Myler's kick through, at the line, for the reds try in the 2nd half was all class and composure under real pressure.

Cracking prospect.

When Tomkins scored today and the stats come up on the screen on sky it said he is 5'11'' and 14st. There is absolutely no way he is 14st.

personal view, Myler all the way!!!!

an actual scrum half with abilities in every required facet a scrum half needs...for too long GB/England have taken players with them with "A" skill rather than the rounded abilities Myler has shown in his two years at salford. Eastmond strikes me as being a Robinson figure...special pace and power of the mark, give you a performance from half-back against a lesser side, but won't control a match when the team your against is just as good. Personal view again, but that's what Burrow is...of the back of a strong pack, his size, pace and personal tricks make him a quality player, but if his side is in trouble, would he be able to keep you in touch with an intelligent kicking game say? Same with Eastmond. Pains me to admit it, salford are not a great side, but what Myler is actuallly 'learning' with us is how to play when you don't just roll over the opposition and how to keep control even when your not on top - and those are skills needed internationally against the Aussies/Kiwis

I saw Myler play for England v Wales at Doncaster & was impressed with him then.
Today he was excellent alert to take his intreception and showed the alleged better Burro, McGuire & Sinfiled how to kick near the opponent's try line.
Plus he has that essential attribute pace. Definitely one for the future I hope that he can continue to develop with Salford for the good of Superleague. Impressed me far more than Tompkins. Ainscough though I do like.

He's a good player, creative and with a decent turn of pace, he also has a good kicking game and can guide his side round the park.

He's what Long used to be.

He meant the game v Leeds, not in general. You werent at the game so shut up.

I agree with lots of this. Myler is looking a classic scrum half. Burrow ain't a classic scrum half. Does that make Myler a better player than Burrow? Not yet IMO but plenty more potential.

Yes but unlike you I don't have to wait until he appears in SL to give a view, I support my local side.
