No, I'm saying accommodate Myler to the best defensive line available.

It's not as if Myler has a non-existant defensive game, anyway. He (and we) would cope.

It's worth a punt.

One things for sure, we need to make a decision about his future, pdq. One year left. Do we offer him a new contract, or get a few grand for him. The lad's a good player, contrary to popular belief.

Heresy. You know you can't say things like that on here!

Why do Rovers need another half back? They don't have any back-up now that Craig Hall has signed for Wakefield. There is a reserve grade player, Matty Marsh coming thro but he is not ready yet.

Its my experience when the phrase 'interested in signing' is used by the BBC it means talks are on-going and yes there is 'something in it' as you say.

As for it being a 'great career' move playing for HKR', well that is moot, but looking at the bigger picture I doubt very much Myler would be prepared to move to 'ull, or be prepared to travel (its a 3hr or more round trip), seeing how his missus holds a high profile job in Manchester. I reckon Salford or Widnes will step in for him.

In the Guardian this morning saying this is all 'message board' talk. Shame on you all!

Someone text me about it a few weeks ago before it was mentioned on here.

Explain that one then, the club that is, not Mark

Like, like FMC I also heard it weeks ago before it went viral on the board, I wouldn't post it because I couldn't verify the source myself but I did put a post a hint that nobody got about TS not being able to sort his kicking game out but perhaps it could be by Chester...!

Yeah nobody picked up on that one... Christ.

TS says it's not happening but if you say it is then it must be happening, someone should probably let our Tony know.

I never said it was happening GHF.
I sat back on this because I got it second hand, I let others debate it.
I didn't know one way or the other.

yeah, i'd heard about it around a month or so prior to you dropping the hint on here.

Then your dad was bigger than mine. Lol

Probably, my dad is pretty fat.

Thats the advantage of living in the " end of nowhere"...we dont have many foreigners...

Rubbish. What about all those Vikings coming up the Humber in narrow boats then ? I hear they have even opened a museum in York and a travel company in the city centre ' Viking City Cruises'. And before that there were all those Anglo Saxons coming over from Heidleberg and Dusseldorf. You are flooded out with immigrants, man. Before that there was Australopithicus coming over from the Rift Valley in Africa, stealing all your lush green grass.

To be honest, I don't know if you can still call yourself English anymore.

On the Sky Sports website that Myler is staying.

Andy Gatcliffe stating it's just message board rumours.

No doubt all the so called "in the know" posters will tell us it was all arranged then a big change of plan.

Before it was on the boards it was mentioned elsewhere.
At least 3 of us on here heard about it before it was posted.

The same thing about GOB going to Bradford.
He was gone and then back again before the trades got to print about it.

No smoking gun?...There was, and I was told who the smoking gun was, he is very close to Myler.

The rumour was second hand but it was BEFORE it got posted on these boards.

....and before them, there's the tribe Ultras Wiganarus, led by their general Rogueus Gallarearus, and his infamous kangaroo courts, where rugby players are tried and all evidence is ignored, in order to get the verdict he wants.

RD.... i like you, but the constant need to tell people 'i was told this and i was told that' is awful.

£90

Unfortunately your wrong on this because I actually sat on the fence on the Myler to KR rumour because it was 2nd hand. I didn't get involved in the debate.

But like FMC I'm inclined to speak about it now because it wasn't an initial forum rumour as Gatcliffe would try and have you believe.
It was out there before the boards got a grip whether it was just a rumour or not.

£90-£10=£80

I heard it on Twitter initially

"Twitter"???The clue is in the name

?

Just saying I saw it elsewhere before it was on here.

I think there was something in it because of where the rumour had allegedly originated and his closeness to Myler.
But what adds weight is how Gatcliffe specifically worded his statement in the Guardian. Very economical with the truth...

"There is no interest from us in letting Richie Myler go."
....
That could mean two things: there is no interest NOW but there might have been before this press release!
Or
Strictly we have no interest in letting him go.


"It's just message board rumours"
....
Of course it is, as was Sim, Clark and Wheeler. There all rumours until confirmed by the club.

"There had been no contact from us with Hull Kingston Rovers"
....
He wording is specifically one directional, not ruling out there was contact about it, only to rule out that we didn't contact Hull KR about it!


Okay, it's like a conspiracy theory, I don't deny, but the wording does look carefully chosen.
Would it be a lie if he simply said, 'it's absolute rubbish, there has been no contact or discussion whatsoever'

Neither have the club denied that we are swapping him for Hock......

SIMS...... S I M S.......

Seriously dude. Let it go.
