and therefore it is Myler versus Eastmond for the scrum half position. IMO i'd still put Eastmond in ahead of Myler but that could be why he's in ahead of Tomkins at least.

I wouldn't at this stage. Eastmond hasn't played at 7 since the CC semi iirc.

No but at least he's played! He was at centre because Long was fit, and did well whilst he was there!

Its irrelevant, Smith said he selects on form, not one game etc, what form can Myler have, he hasnt played for 3 months.

Maybe, just maybe Smith truly believes that Myler is the best scrum half we have.

Typo etc.......

the only logic i can see for picking myler over tomkins is one played well in a half decent squad and the other played well in a squad out of its depth in SL.

Doesn't make sense really... So he's picking someone who shines in a team of crap players other than someone who shines in a team of half decent players? Surely on that basis tomkins is still the one to pick?

And if you based it on Wire_Yeds thinking, why didn't Smith pick Ratchford who has outperformed Myler at in the same squad?

Exactly. Despite all these excuses warrington fans are coming up with it's obvious myler is only in the squad because he signed for warrington. Put it this way if he signed for Wigan would he be anywhere the squad let alone the 17? It's embarrassing for the sport.

Not making excuses, i'd rather have tomkins in tbh. The logic i used was if you can play well with a poop team around you then you should be amazing with a good team around you.

For the france game im not too worried anyway but against the oz i'd rather have Sam he's a fiery little sod who won't be intimidated by crims

And how would that sit with regards to the Wales game where he was also crap?



Not only that, as has already been said, where does that leave Ratchford who consistently outplayed Myler in the same crap team?



At least you realise he shouldn't have been picked in preference to Sam. If only a certain other 'Wire' had as much honesty about him, eh?
