See that Richie Myler has signed a 3 year deal with Leeds for next season

another player that will come back and bite us on our . He's not done much in a poor Catalans team...I expect him to be much more effective in a better Leeds outfit.

I agree and think that he will do well there and was nowhere near as poor as some made out when he was here.

Possibly them future proofing & planning ahead for McGuire finishing - a similar playing style I think.

(A SL team planning for the future?? It'll never catch on!!)

As long as he has a dominant half alongside him he should do well at Leeds, always looked dangerous running the ball and had a good short kicking game.

I don't think I'd have him back though, even if he probably is performing better than any of our current halfs.

You aren't holding Leeds up as an example of a SL team planning for the future are you?!?

Does that mean Liam Sutcliffe is on his way out?
Or is that Cory Aston is not quite ready.

Didn't see that coming.

Good luck to him. Not many players Wire release go onto bigger SL clubs .

I can think of Gleeson to Wigan in recent memory. Any other since the days of Sculthorpe and Harris?

O'Brien to Salford?

Why are you laughing? Salford are currently above us in the league have 6 championships and the last one a mere 40 years ago....I nearly added Bridge to Widnes, apparently they won the WCC and also have more recent championship wins than our favourites

That's very true. How our star has faded.

Faded since when, 1955?

It's been stated that the only measure of success is Championships, off the top of my head there could have been legitimate shouts for McCarthy at Hull KR, Riley to Wakefield, Blythe at Bradford and anyone that has ended up at Halifax or Swinton. Hull FC, Huddersfield and Oldham are in that higher echelon, but, I don't know anyone who's gone there recently from Wire

Sid Domic to Wakey.

Salford aren't even the biggest Club in Salford.......

No sorry TFB I don't get it

Good luck to him, being the most reliable support runner we have had in recent years I would have thought he would be one of our top try scorers this season given we don't seem to have anybody else running support lines for most of our plays. Could have done with him this year in my opinion.

we did not need him.We can always give Brown and Gidley contract extensions for 2018 and even possibly 2019

Are you conflating my use of "bigger clubs" to infer "more successful" clubs? I see what you were doing but chose to ignore it. It's puerile to argue that Swinton are a bigger club than Warrington, so I'm out.

I'm not conflating anything and for puerile read empirical, you could have 'cooled your jets off' and defined bigger?

They don't like it up em Captain Mainwaring!

Myler's performance last Saturday was typical Myler. Two well taken tries and....

Smith got rid of Myler (a proven try scorer), and has bought 2 half backs, since.
One, a bloke who's best days were years ago, in another country, and likes the physio's table.
The other, who's best days were few and far between, and he too likes the physio's table, and cost us a pretty penny

Further example of Smith's recruitment/judgement

Fair comments. Myler wasn't the world beater we hoped he would be. Still isn't now.

Smith did sign a sensational half back too though. shame he wasn't more well rounded or may still be here tearing teams apart.

Right I'll speak slower. This is all because, maybe a month ago now, I compared our lack of achievements to our more successful peers such as Leeds, Wigan and St Helens within a given timeframe and you sought to try and say they were comparable in some attempt of a defense of Smith and Agar. This attempt of yours even reached the desperation level of you questioning the lengths of my acronyms as unfair and now the stupendous comparison between Warrington and Swinton.

I then state a separate point about bigger clubs and you think that I have contradicted myself because you purposefully misconstrued "bigger" with more "successful" when the difference is clear to the man on the Clapham omnibus.

Anyway I thought we agreed to disagree? You support Smith and Agar because we made the finals in 2016 and won the hub cap last year (or has your position done a 180?), and I don't because that's all we have done in 4 years and still accounts to very little (or zero in most peoples eyes). My view has remained consistent.

If you are going to go after dismantling my rationale you will have to try harder, maybe even back it up with a fact now and again.
