Why? Because you want him to be match fit when he signs for you?

I'm long sighted actually



If he's 100% fit both physically and mentally then he should play. If not then we should be playing Smith and more importantly Ratchford as our 6&7 pairing. Whether Myler plays or not is irrelevant to me. The more important thing is that we stop using Rathford as a utility player. Otherwise another bigger club will come knocking at his door with the promise of playing him in his preferred position. What would you do stay at Salford here there and everywhere or play somewhere which will help develop you into the player you want to be? Ask any meerkat the answer is Simples!

I actually feel a bit sorry for Myler. He's a young kid who hasn't done or said anything wrong but is getting loads of grief.

If he plays well on Sunday he'll get slagged on here for trying harder to try and impress TS & Wire.

If he plays badly he'll either get accused of playing badly to let his future club win, accused of putting no effort in or people will say he's useless and we don't need him anyway.

Could you blame him if he did decide to leave???

When?

So what position does Ratchford himself want to play then?
A lot of people think he should be playing at 6 which is fair enough, but is there any evidence that he's unhappy playing in different roles??

And if he's as good as people on here proclaim him to be then bigger clubs will come sniffing round him anyway, whether it's as a specialist 6 or a top class utility player...there's not much we and other "smaller" clubs can do about that unfortunately.

Moran doesn't sit

Myler his playing but smith is playing at six NEVER MIND

if he his in a red shirt we should give him 100% regardless, he is not a mercenary yet

I'm sorry, with the way you and others have been talking on here, I thought it was a done deal. You wouldn't have been talking nonsense, would you?

It is.

I believe Richard Myler is set to play on Sunday against Warrington Wolves with Jeremy Smith starting at stand-off.

It sounds like Stefan Ratchford will once again be playing in the centres.

That's why I said "When?" . He already has.

My gut feeling is to leave Ritchie Myler out of the team, if he`s moving on so should we.
I have no axe to grind with him regarding his more than likely move, it would have been a miricle if none of the younger players were enticed away.

So why was that not the same for Mr coley then. He gave great service to the club and wanted to better himself. What does he get, Abuse. Please dont give me that he played crap all season, Richie hasnt sent the world alight for a couple of weeks. If he is carrying a knock then it is simple, dont play him, or he could get abused like Coley. I am still bemuzed if it is true regarding wire as to why he would want to go there. The only difference between them and us is simple. THEY SELL 2 PINT POTS OF BEER

And they have the current GB coach - who just might have dropped a hint that playing in "my" team is more likely to keep you in the GB squad than playing for a club like Salford. Of course that could be completely scurrilous and Mr Smith may be white than white in all this......

FL I'm in agreement with you on the Richie Myler situation.

He's a young lad with immense talent who has been very badly advised by a certain individual. I personally think he's already sorted out an agreement with another club (probably Warrington). All of a sudden the aforementioned agent isn't in the media all the time spouting his all about how wonderful Richie Myler is and how he needs to move to benefit his career.

I think it's premature for him to move on yet as he's only played a handful of Superleague games and two internationals against very weak teams. Now, for the first time in his career he's a marked man thanks to Mr Offiah so the pressure has already started.

If his future is sorted out for next season at another club then it must be with the agreement of the club as he's a contracted player.

I'm sure if Richie plays for the rest of the season he'll play as well as he can because he wants to be in the GB squad.

I personally would play the players who are committed and to the club and move on. I think we have a real Gem in Stefan Ratchford and would play him at Stand Off with Smith at No. 7. I think Smith has class but is struggling and trying too hard. He's lacking confidence which hopefully will come with game time.

If I would have been the coach at the time of Coley`s signing for Wigan I would have removed him from the team also.
I can`t say I had any problem with Coley moving on and the crap he got of the terraces was`nt deserved tbh.
There`s a big difference to having an opinion on the way a certain player is peforming and abuse, I won`t take any crap at work . why should the players.

Whether Myler plays or not it should be a decision based on form.

Coley clearly demonstrated from the start of the season he had no intention of playing to his ability. Myler is out of form.

His head has been turned his Hearts not for Salford anymore.The lad has turned down the best ever contract that the club has ever offered any player there is no way he should play especially against this shower of gobsh##es

Cheers for that mate, at last some sense regarding Mr Coley. I think personally like you said regarding coley, remove Ritchie from the firing line or him too could be made a scapegoat. Hope he doesnt go as at the moment it sounds great hearing that an international plays for salford. Cmon Ritchie, you know it makes sense, sign the salford contract

Sorry mate I can't agree, there is a massive difference between Coley and Myler.

Andy Coley made it clear he didn't want to be here by not doing what he should on the field, he had his head turned (Like Myler) but not by his agent and bear in mind Coley was nearly 30 therefore more than capable of making his own decisions .

He came back from his (Minor) GB stint and made demands of the club (which I doubt Watkins would have been granted) knowing they couldn't do/pay it and his performances during the 2007 season , besides the home game against Wigan, he was woeful for one reason, not lack of ability, lack of effort. Take away the past two game (when he's coming back from injury) when as Myler not played to his potential?


Spot on

myler is out of form, the reason he is out of form is because he hasnt been able to concentrate on his game because his agent, the england and warrington coach as well as the rl media have unsettled him.

Coley wasnt interested in little salford after his brief and only display at international level.

Mcrae wants to play his strongest 17, which is fair enough but does anyone think its a bit short sighted? With no relegation and the playoffs out of reach surley a little experiment to see if rachford and smith can play together could save us a fortune.

Playing myler of the bench in the robbie paul role makes more sence until he finds form again and we'll discuss it then after another chat about his future.

For Christ sake don't play Ratchford, we don't want him getting his head turned by the England coach as well do we

Wakefield could be more likely.
