RICHIE Myler is backing two of Wolves’ homegrown talents to wow fans at The Halliwell Jones Stadium this season.

The scrum half is confident Warrington have recruited well in the off-season with the likes of Daryl Clark, Ashton Sims and Gary Wheeler.

But he has also picked out two of the club’s academy graduates as ones to watch for Super League XX ahead of Saturday’s kick off.

“The two back rowers who played a fair bit last year, James Laithwaite and Ben Currie, they’re in for big seasons,” said the 24-year-old.

“They’ve had that maturity of having played 20 games plus last year, that'll put them in good stead.

“They’ve looked good in pre-season training and they’ve showed it in the friendlies, so I think they will have a good year.”

Myler says he is fighting fit and will be looking to cement a first-team spot when former side Salford come to town.

“The competition for places is massive, so no place is safe and we all know we have to play well,” he explained. “Every spot has two or three people that can play in it.

“That makes you play well, you have to play well to get a spot. For me personally that’s my goal, to get off to a good start and kick on from there.

“Salford have recruited well, with (Michael) Dobson coming in and giving that second half back with Rangi Chase, so they’re going to be a quality side.”

He also believes Wolves must consistently produce their best to challenge under Super League’s new format.

“Consistency is a big thing,” added Myler. “This time around with the new format, you have to be in the top four or top two to have a good shot at it.

“We know where we need to be and we know the performance levels we need to get to. So we’ll be striving to get there as much as possible.

“It’s exciting, it is giving a real buzz about the Super League again. You have to play well and hit the ground running.”
