type mismatch with @helper

I'm trying to show a form with the values but it's not working.

my action:

public static Result login() {
    User user = new User();
    user.name = "Murilo";

    Form<User> userForm = form(User.class);

    return ok(login.render(userForm.fill(user)));
}

and my html:

@(myForm : play.data.Form[models.User])

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
     @helper.inputText(myForm("name"))
</body>
</html>

but when I access it, the following error throws:

type mismatch; found : play.data.Form.Field required: play.api.data.Field

As a addition to nico_ekito's good answer: I usually do not use @helper.. because it is long and not/less readable if your form starts to grow (more fields). So I do the following:

@(editForm:Form[User]

@*** IMPORTS ****@
@import helper._

@form(routes.Tasks.save(), 'class -> "form-horizontal") {
     @inputText(editForm:Form("description()").....)
     @inputArea(editForm:Form("description()").....)
}

In your template, it should be:

@(myForm : Form[User])

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
     @helper.inputText(myForm("name"))
</body>
</html>
