Another good performance after a shaky start.
The one thing we did find out last night is that Myler is not a half back.
I must be the only one who has thought Handley to be a good winger.
Yes he has the odd blip but overall far better than the Briscoes and is getting better all the time.
Same with Donaldson who puts his body on the line every time he plays and puts in a bucket load of tackles.
Mik again played well so did Gale.
For me I would still play Myler at FB with Walker missing out.
Looks like Cuthbertson will get in to the 17 at the expense of Holroyd.
The only other comment is that if Mylers pass was called for a forward pass then the one from McNammara for Savelio`s try should have been called forward.
And not sure why Last didn`t stick Connor at HB as Mc Nammara had a decent game last time at FB.

I think we all knew that a cpl years ago to be honest

Wallet is the best full back at the club and is now fit. Think he will play. Myler has filled in manfully but misses out now for me, unless he gets a bench spot, but that's unlikely.

Myler v Walker at FB is just a slightly different approach, it will depend how Agar wants to play against Salford and where he sees their weaknesses.

Myler is a pain in the bum to defend when he supports and plays in the line, he can cause all sorts of problems as is often "Jonny on the spot".

Walker gives you a significantly better running game; but he has more errors in him and is more injury prone. A few years down the line I don't think it would be a contest, but right now it isn't cut and dried.

On balance I would still probably go for Walker, but it would be tough on Myler after all he's contributed to getting the side to the final in the first place.

I'm assuming Lui will be fit for the final. I'm quite liking Gale and Lui at half when the pack gets forward: gives us flow on either side of the field and headaches for the opposition.

Is wallet Walkers new nickname,( he likes the cash ) or just a freudian slip.
Either way Wallet sounds good.

On balance Myler has earned the shirt on merit, everyone fit, bench for Walker and either Dwyer or smith to lose out probably Dwyer as then myler can spell at Hooker.

Strange that some people only seem to comment when we lose isnt it?

freudian I'm afraid. How apt!
