AFTER admitting his NRL form last season was substandard, Nate Myles has placed Manly ahead of his beloved Queensland and Australia this season.
Asked how he described his 2016 season at Brookvale, a candid Myles said: “S ... house. Am I allowed to say that?”
Myles’ honest self-reflection underlines the thoughts of many Sea Eagles fans who were underwhelmed with his performances.
“Not up to standard for what this club is known for and what I am here for. Well below par,” he said.
“I’m not sure (why). I have been asked before. If I had the magic recipe for it, I would happily share it with you and probably a couple of others.”
Asked had he set himself for Origin and the World Cup, Myles said: “No, I haven’t, I’ll be totally honest with you. Rep footy isn’t my goal this year. This club is ... and the way that our form is.
“I have been very lucky for what I have been able to achieve. But, for me now, it’s about focusing on club footy.
“I’m not ruling myself in (of rep footy), I’m not ruling myself out of anything but my focus is Manly. Run that cliche if you want but that’s where it is. We’re not going past next Sunday against Parramatta.
“This year, I am excited to get into it because of the way things panned out last year. It goes back to breaking things down to a simpler way. I don’t think anything goes past running hard and tackling hard.”
😕
If Myles
was putting his Team above his State he would have retired from Rep footy this year
