| Quote ="J20"On about outisde views on situation! Plus 'way he's behaiving' is that the same in drop of performnace?
When 1st rumblings of Wire move came about (in RL press) his form did drop alot his head was clearly turned which isn't good! But doesn't mean he's been messing up the dressing room! Really when performance dropped and McRae decided not to play him you'd off been better off trying to sell there & then!'"
Well, I have heard it on good authority that his head's grown immensely throughout this whole saga, to the point where he's now very unpopular in the dressing room. As for selling 'there and then', there's no doubt a reason why we haven't. Whether that's down to contract negotiations or not is another matter.
And an outside view is all well and good, but you have to remember that we've seen things happening first hand. He lost any respect from me first away at Celtic when he clearly seemed unar*ed (even more so than the rest of the side...) and then when shaking hands with Warrington players, winking / smiling at them and patting them on the back whilst they were giving us the runaround. It's things like that which haven't been seen by people from other clubs.

That's what i'm getting at! Outsider saying he's acting way out of line etc etc, when they have no clue what's going on! I'd only judge on what have seen! And obv you boys an see the on pitch attitude etc!

| He was at the Oasis cocert with the Warrington players -FACT
He has been given a shiny new car by Warrington - FACT
He was at Wembley as a guest of a well known music promoter- FACT
He stopped playing for us about 3 months ago- FACT
Good luck and all that, but he has done all of this whilst still under contract with Salford.
This is why we are pi$$ed off with him.

| Poorly handled by all concerned.
We look like poaching dicks
Salford look like mugs
Myler looks like a money grabber
Offiah looks like a poor agent
Poor poor poor. Bit embarassing really.

The most accurate way of describing this situation, fair play for calling it as it is

| Quote ="Prestwich Red"How many times have we seen young players go to a so called bigger club and then fail miserably.
Great talent that he is people have to remember that we had to have players covering him in defence as this is very suspect.
He does tend to dissapear also when the going gets tough.
He has basically used Salford for bigger and better things.
Good luck to the lad, I enjoyed watching him last year and for 3 months of this season.
Should be interesting first match next year against Warrington,I would set Luke onto him
'"
and we`ll set morley onyo him...who ever he is

As I think, Iain pointed out ( somewhere iirc ) they would need permission of the club....but as SM has kept saying, it is news to him then someone is clearly telling lies

| Quote ="J20"Are we sure he's done anything wrong? Stated was with Wire at Wembley... any pics confirmation?
Love the way he's a mercenary for not accepting Salford deal... isn't that restricted employment etc? Here's a new deal... no sorry I want to move to another club... Oh how dare you- monay grabbing blah blah!
hate to say it but...
Wire - Salford
Better facilities
Better players around him
England coach
Similar / higher salary
Larger crowds
More likley to play in 'the big occasions'!
What do you want him to do? Salford signed him for free from struggling us and are getting circa 200k for him... I'd say it's them who have done best out of this all!'"
Put it this way, there are enough reports that he was there so as to be confident that he was. Plus there are plenty of other reports of the lad enjoying the hospitality of Simon Moran to also make this believable.
Has he done anything wrong?? Not in a literal sense but I think his conduct is questionable. Until his contract is terminated with Salford he remains their employee and I think that it is disrespectful to behave in this way.
As for the move.. it has been completely engineered by Offiah with Myler's backing and certain comments about a King's ransom are appalling for a player contracted for another 12 months. Things could have and should have been done more professionally and I don't for a minute think that everything that has gone on has not been sanctioned by Richie.
Mercenary is a bit of a strong word maybe but the lad has shown no loyalty whatsoever to the team and the staff that nurtured him and invested in him as a kid or the team that gave him his break. I'm not doubting Warrington's lure and believe that they are on the verge of good things but the manner in which this has been handled has discredited this sport a little for mine.

Keep a unhappy player for a year and then lose him for nothing at the end of his contract
OR
Make as much money as you can from the sale and get rid
Which would you choose ?
