Really pleased with this. He has excelled and shown such professionalism.

Happy with this, reward for his attitude and looks so much better when not asked to be an organising half back, can cover 9,1 and 6 or 7

He's performances this season have warranted a new deal me personally would have been better just to give him a year but 2 years isn't too drastic and hopefully he isn't taking up so much of the salary cap as well.

I wonder if this means the club have finalised a squad budget for next season.

Just a club in dissaray currently.

We wanted rid before start of last season. We didn't offer a new contract for next season, and he signed elsewhere. That hits problems, and now we resign. Do we actually have a sodding plan at all? it is like pishing in the wind. Just stick a finger in the air. Why in the world do we need him? that is no disrespect to him, but why? he is an half back who can't claim that spot, filling in at fullback because our number one is out, and we should have a suitable cover there without this route.

Really wish I could go back on my option for that season ticket refund now. Would just give it up. We just seem farcical at present.

As good as he’s been this year at FB, I still shudder at the thought of him nearly kicking us out on the full straight out of SL a cpl years ago. Please do not let him any where near the halves again.

You've been saying you're going to stop watching the club for years Gotcha, I wonder how many times you've called them farcical over the last 10 years or so?

I agree with this. Myler is for me a mid-table, solid player but not someone who is part of a title-winning push. We have 2-3 players ahead of him in the halves, 2 players ahead of him at 9 and 1 ahead of him at fullback. He wouldn't be in my game day 17 if everyone else was fit. Is this reflected in his contract?

Unambitious signing based on culture fit - if they have signed him at the right price then fair enough, but if anywhere near original contract they need their bumps feeling. Just how many "experience" signings does this club need?

I can see us needing to ward off interest in our youth talent from NRL in years to come, I'll be angry if we've spent budget on players like this at the expense of retaining those players who could make the club really successful again. We also desperately lack real quality, and I'd rather have a couple of standout signings (like Saints and Wigan do seem to manage...) rather than filling the side with solid-but-unspectacular types. I know that KS believes in hard work and character beating just talent alone, but unfortunately that only takes you so far, and throughout his career he captained players who were better than him and covered for his weaknesses.

It is a fine line between managing a successful culture, and jobs for the boys. Most winning sides have their fair share of conflict because the top performers have challenging characters often (good and bad). We've been burned before by players like Hardaker, but there is a balance to be had where you need a bit of creative spark as well as the solid types who will do a solid job and not rock the boat too much.

Myler seems a good lad and I have been really impressed with his professionalism since we signed Lui and encouraged him to look for another club, you can't fault his attitude. I suppose this is just another "signing of the times" where we probably aren't in the financial position to recruit as we would all like.

On that note, you look at how some SL clubs are really, obviously struggling this year with the impact of the pandemic, and maybe we do need to manage expectations. I keep saying, but I don't believe we will be a true force again until our youth has matured - Newman, Walker, Oledski, Holroyd etc all need another couple of years on them IMO to get to standard. We will have a clutch of England players again when that happens, I'm sure. Signing Myler for 2 years makes me think the club is pretty much resigned to kicking the can down the road and just surviving at the moment.

This I totally agree with and I think that's the clubs strategy, unfortunately that means we as fans may have to be a bit more patient.

I also think the club are being cautious with signings because they have asked players to take pay cuts, whether it's the right way or not the club seem to be wanting to keep the current squad as harmonious as possible, asking players to take a pay cut then spending a lot of money on an NRL import doesn't seem right to me.

One year contract would have been ideal, two year contract no thanks.

Liam Sutcliffe is looking to leave because he's been treated as a utility player, but Richie who's in the same boat has welcomed it. Maybe there's an element of job security in him taking the deal, but I like his attitude and what he brings to the squad. It makes picking the 17 easier, when he can cover so many positions.

You mean the last two years? in respect of years. With all due respect, I have been going a hell of a lot longer than you, and to a hell of a lot more games, so yes it is hard to just switch off. That said, were it not for the kids still wanting to go, yes I am that dissalusioned with the club and the game, that I would just stop. Had the club shown this was the direction they were going in a couple of months back, instead of all the misinformation they gave, then yes I would definately have chosen option 3 and been done with.

As for farcical over last 10 years, go ahead and post one then. You know there isn't one. The main thing I have critisised continually was the taking the eyes off the ball with regards succession, the academy development, and the idiot we had as coach. All of which shown correct on of course.

What was the misinformation they gave?

It’s not a ing competition Gotcha, but to be fair I’m hardly a newbie, I’ve been going to watch Leeds play since I was 4 years old, thats 37 years ago, Ive also been a member of southstander forum since it started.

They told us all, and correct me if wrong, that changes were being made and it was in a plan. We were going to develop the youth and make new signings to compliment that. They already didn't offer Myler a new contract, hence him siging with Toronto, just to back this up, he was not in the plan.

I know it is not a ing competition, hence me highlighting why it is hard to just stop.

Since when do we think he can fill in at 9, nowhere near strong enough defensively for 9 in my opinion

Since he filled in at 9 earlier on in the season

I don’t remember such a specific announcement

wasnt that one game only? I wouldnt want to see him string a few together

I can’t remember this years a bit of a blur, didn’t he play a few pre season games there then was interchange hooker until the Warrington game but went to full back when Walker got injured, Im not suggesting he be first or second choice hooker but he could do a job there if needed.

Go back to Sinfields "mission" statement when he came in & after sacking Furner.

Gotcha specifically mentioned a couple of months back not 1 1/2 years ago, quite a lot as happened in the world since then if you hadn't noticed

Our plan has changed significantly due to Covid lockdown. That’s why I now think Myler has been offered a new deal. I think it’s a decent deal given the circumstances and how well he’s been playing

I didn't specifically say an announcement a couple of months back. I implied that they were following a plan still a couple of months back that they had committed to previously. That plan was announced earlier, but as far as I was concerned that was the way we were going, until the last couple of months, which have made a complete nonsene of it.

Why should our plan have changed due to Covid? infact it should surely have been more clear the path to follow, if what they said the plan was, was indeed true.

Maybe because they've asked players to take a pay cut, that might alter plans made 1-2 years ago somewhat.
