Myles ???

[BUDDY]

whilst i agree i think the criticism stems from this. parker and gallen are the benchmark for locks in the comp. they are on similar money to myles, why is myles not playing at their level atm?

Has he ever been at that level? Different type of players.

BTW he isn't on their money in the fantasy leagues.

haha. ok so what does myles offer that gallen/parker doesnt?

Continually chopping players in half in defence..

i think youd be hard pressed to prove that gallen in particular isnt just as aggressive/effective in defence. Im happy with myles and can appreciate that he is down on form but also think this is a worthy point to make

In comparison to Gallen who I think is the best lock in the game he offers less errors and penalties for starters, a far better offload when he uses it, can attack on the fringes and up the middle, constantly makes covering tackles, chase downs and consistently strong tackles.

Myles already proved at the start of last season that if he wanted to be a stats freak he could, but it clearly stooped becoming our style as we developed as a team. Just have a look across the forward pack for that.

Myles has had an average start to the season but when he's on he's up there as one of the best back rowers in the world imo. Most under appreciated Rooster in a long time.

Ive never seen gallen or parker get over Nate, while they are both good players, I wouldnt swap him for either of them.

Agree on all points there 6. Myles isn't the wide running backrower that everyone seems to think he should be. Dallas Johnson gets all the pats on the back in the world for his efforts at Melbourne, yet Nate shits all over him as a player.

I'd swap Gallen for Nate in a heartbeat.

[Guest]

nate works his butt off he does all the dirty stuff no1 wants to do u need a hit up 10mtr in front of our line his hand is up u need a covering tackle his there doing his job his a labourer and i wouldnt want him to play anyother way... sam burgess has said over and over again he wantes to build his game around how nate playes his

[Rooster_6]

Much much better tonight... Forget the big hits some of his cover tackles were nothing short of amazing

[Spanner in the works]

Heaps better. Maybe he got a rocket up his arse?

[Guest]

Very good tonight.

[The Brain]

I didnt think he was that good played like a frustrated puppy.

Gave away a penalty for being a crawler that got them their first try. A few other minor things leading to penalties. He's usual 2011 game IMO.

That one penalty was the only thing he did wrong all night. What were the 'few other things' you refer to? Myles tried his butt off.
