Then what is Moon's 'natural' position? He started as a halfback in the NRL but was moved when it became clear he could do only one thing well - run. If anything his strengths would suggest full back, but I've no idea if he's ever played there or how he'd go on defence.

On Myler, I think as much as anything its a statement of intent that the need to shake things up has been recognised. I like a lot of the things he does, and whilst he has deficiencies, there isn't a halfback in SL who doesn't. If he sees this as his opportunity to kick on and be the main man, we could end up with a hugely positive signing.

No i don't think he is a complete natural there either but for me it is still his best position and there aren't many better running around SL.

Myler is a good signing as he always has an eye for an opening and has enough speed to take on defenses and his kicking game is not bad either. However we still need a game manager.

Shame he isn't a natural half back either but we are where we are

Not much talent around at the moment in british rugby league. Whilst I am not a great myler fan ,I can see the logic in taking a punt on myler. Like most on this forum I see moons best role is in the centre position. So obviously in veiw of the age of our current half backs we need to replace them.
Not certain if Brian Mac has another half back lined up. I sincerely hope he is looking for another partner for myler.

Josh McCrone?
Tyrone Roberts?

always though the modern Centre stays in the one position too much. love to see given more of a free roaming role ala schoey, and even centres doubling up which you simply don't see anymore.
ablett and ferres can run down our right channel with the fullback chiming into the line. let moon play more midfield running threat centre to right.

McCrone is terrible.
Roberts is ok.

Aidan Sezer from Canberra might be on the outer. Can't tackle but excellent kicking game and a good organiser.

Hello Leeds Fans.Myler has been outstanding this year in a poor Dragons team-badly hit by injuries. He will improve your team.
