Cannot work out if this post is off topic or on it, but I have heard Stephen Myler is being linked with a move back to League as a long term replacement for Sean Long.

He does seem to have matured very well in union, good pass and kicking game and his one on one defence has improved also.

if he's that good, surely northampton won't want to let him go. how would a league club be able to compete with union wages?

With Rogues though it's gone past middle-age spread.

He said Myler is the more creative and was cutting wigan up.

All tomkins did for his tries was pick up loose balls and use his pace.

Don't rate Simms - haven't read the article - but would suggest he reassesses once Tomkins has played as many 1st team games as Myler.

not overly keen to be honest - he was nowhere near good enough last time he played for us, a good passing & kicking game wont be enough to play SL level.

Also, he is on the verge of the England RU squad - so I would expect him to be tied down to a decent contract in RU.

"Myler ... was single-handedly cutting Wigan to pieces at times," I must have missed that bit.
