I wasn't having a cheap dig at Myler, just explaining the reasons why Smith may not select him.
Last year when Myler was at Salford, Shaun Wane in his pre match address to the spectators in the South Stand bar (prior to the Wigan v Salford Cup game) openly stated that Wigan would target Mylers weakness in defence and they did. So much that McRae moved Myler to the wing position at times in the game to allow other players to defend in Mylers position.

But Myler's defence this year has been brilliant, much improved, forty more tackles this year in a team that has been at the top all year than a poor Salford team last year.
