| Not for a long time.
Myler is only now showing his true class. If he went to Aus, he'd be a third/fourth/fifth choice at best.
In a few years time, maybe.

| Offiah's job is to promote his player so what do you expect. It ruffled feathers when Offiah was doing this to get him to join us from Salford but that was a good deal for him. If he can get to the NRL that will also be a good move for him.

Most Warrington fans seemed happy enough when he touted Myler to Warrington while he was still a Salford player under contract. He did everything he could to get Myler away from Salford to Warringon. Yes I understand that we couldn't have kept Myler at Salford, but his tactics and approach to how he worked were selfish and tactless. Warrington were happy to allow him to work like this... And we lost out because of it. Personally... I'd love to see the Warrington club get exploited in the same spineless way that Salford were... Because it doesn't feel very nice when you know you haven't got a chance of keeping a top player due to Martins greedy tactics. If he sees a way of getting his cut... He will go for the throat... I really Warrington lose out on this because maybe next time you won't be so happy to sign a player this way.

| We have been on both ends of this, we lost all our best talent years ago, now we are buying other teams best talent.
Swings and roundabouts, lets not get spoilt like some other fans are.
if he leaves, he leaves. Like LoyalFan said, we were happy when he came and didn't slag Offiah off then, so why now?
Personally i don't think he will leave, but if he does i only hope Smith is in full view of the facts so we can keep O'Brien, would be terrible if O'Brien left thinking he isn't in Smiths plans, only for Myler to then leave.

| If you look through my history before and after Myler's signing on any post about Offiah, you'll see i'm being consistent.
Myler going to Aus doesn't bother me, good luck to him, i know i would.

| So what is the thing that Offiah has done here that is so offensive.
In the end Myler's value is only going to equal the value a club places on him. Clubs obviously want to get him under that value and will try and short change him.
The market for RL players is not like estate agents selling houses, an agent can't inflate the market value by talking him up. Clubs interested in signing Myler can watch as much video tape on him as they want and analyse his strengths and weaknesses to the nth degree. They aren't going to go off Offiah saying how good he is.
If Offiah does his job well though he will make sure Myler's contracts are driven to as close to his market value as possible.

Agreed - seems strange that she would be happy to go and live in Oz for 3 or 4 years, or stranger still that she would stay here and let her fella move there - especially as she is at the height of her career over here, just starting a new deal with countryfile and things like that...............

Two little things. You forgot to mention the manner in which Salford got him from Widnes. Secondly, you also conveniently forgot to mention the big fat fee that we gave you that helped keep your club afloat.

| I will be very surprised if an Australian club goes for one of our half backs.
But if he leaves, good luck to him

| We need to change our tactics. It's no use signing up future stars as the Oz clubs will simply tempt them away for more money. We need to pack the side out with average players that nobody else want's. We could start by bringing in Ryan Bailey and Kevin Sinfield.

I knew I would come accross somebody who would be uneducated enough to drop that one in. Myler left Widnes and signed for Salford because the couldn't pay him... it's that simple. There was nothing untoward. They had no money and he was free to leave.
As for the fee... that was pretty much a token payment... It was no big deal. It wasn't the money that was the issue, it was the way the deal was done that hurt.

When you make a post concerning the education (or lack of it) of another, ensure you get the posting right, otherwise you could find yourself being ridiculed.
The deal was done in no particular way. Had it been an illegal approach then Salford could easily have reported Warrington.
To say the fee was a token payment is just ridiculous. It was a big fee and Salford needed the money.

We know it wasn't an illegal approach. Salford offered Myler a good deal... possibly the best we have ever offered a young player. He was urged by Offiah to move to Warrington... that way... Offiah gets a bigger wedge. As his agent, he's only interested in what he can get out of the deal... not what his player gets. The better deal for Offiah was to shift him to Warrington. It was his tactics that he used which were a kick in the doo-dahs.... He will do this again... so the point is that Warrington shouldn't come along crying that they are hard done to... when they were happy to get the smooth side of the Myler deal... and are now likely to get the rough end should he move on.
Salford have always needed money... but we offered him a deal that was large enough to suggest that money wasn't the issue here. As Salford fans, we still don't know what happened to the Myler money, and it's become a bit of a joke around our parts.... So to say it saved us is something that even we don't know... so I'm not sure how you make that assumption.

| I've never known the gutting feeling of losing a big name player, if only i could have grown up watching Gregory at Central Park or Sculthorpe at Knowsley Road or even a player like Harris at Headingley.
The fact is it happens and Myler if he goes to Aus wouldn't bother me, in fact i'd be happy for him as i would anyone who had a dream to play there.
My beef with Offiah is basically he's a muppet that seems to have become a voice for our game, yet shows no love for it, he gives with one hand and scoops it away with his hand on a joystick of a JCB with the other.
His knowledge of the game all considering is poor and listening to him on Sky and Talksport is embarrassing.
I hate the guy and have for a long time, that he is the agent of a player i admire is just an unfortunate coincidence.
