Myler seems a bizarre choice to me , he has no previous experience in the role when I would have thought that would have been a requirement.
To employ a novice when the club is in such a state of flux seems odd.

People keep saying that but they never suggest anyone from that long list of experieced Directors of Rugby.

Can't believe he doesn't have a BTEC in been a Director of Rugby.

He might be working towards his NVQ when he starts tbf

Things are definitely be kept a bit quieter, Myler wasn't leaked until a few days before it was announced.

No coach names or players rumored.

Think we had a few players and staff in the camp who like to open their mouth, club maybe trying to keep things a bit more secret.

These type of players need cutting too IMO. You never see the players of the top teams leaking club related stuff to their ‘friends’ on the outside. It’s unprofessional & in-house things should be kept in house.

Hope so too, all it does is fuel the 'boys club' feel when news leaks.

No surprise that the biggest moaner on here has started moaning about Myler.Nobody knows how it will work out but it’s a step in the right direction and all we can do is back him.Also the other moaner only pops up when things are going wrong.As for nepotism,all sports have it but if it means a cash injection then he can employ his entire family.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... fc-9226054 I get he wasn't exactly going to slag Smith off and probably doesn't have the time to implement mass change, but the fact he's said wholesale changes aren't the way forward is a scary thought

Saw some earlier posts about assistants being offered the coaching job….Richard Marshall at Warrington….ex head coach of Halifax…assistant at Sts for a while….not my choice at all but just thought I’d sling his name in

The one that stood out for me was we made training hard for them.

From the outside looking in, if appointing Myler is going to save the club from administration again., it’s the most sensible thing from Pearson since Hull had joined up with Gateshead Thinder.

The club is broken, like most without sugar daddies, and debt won’t fix it.
Myler has enough RL pedigree on winning trophies, playing internationals, playing with internationals, being moved around to and relocating at home and abroad, understanding the player value of a family support (or not), and the value of money to be a successful club.

The only thing negative to Myler is that he doest’t fit the mould of a DoR..,
He doesn’t look like one! (whatever that they be)?

He plays a major part in training doesn't he, he isn't going to say things were too easy.

Not really sure what he is meant to say in that interview, with either slagging off Smith or making himself look bad.

Hope the coach is allowed to bring in his own assistant (to replace Gene) and also his only S&C team.

He struggled massively in his season as head coach at Salford. Might be one of those very good assistants but poor head coach

I knew he went somewhere else but couldn’t remember….yeah think your right but just thought I’d sling his name in as well

I think it ended really badly, he completely alienated himself from the playing group.

I really don't think Mcdermott is the right man, we need a coach who can build a side and a culture, Mcdermott biggest success was at Leeds, he is inherited a great squad when he took over in 2011. Look at this squad he started with here: That is an unbelievable squad that would walk SL now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Leeds_Rhinos_season

Unless Rowley, I think it has to be someone working in the NRL, there is a good chance we will have 5 quota spots to play with for next season, and our only chance of improving short term is to make sure those 5 are top players, no more overseas players who can't get into the 17, not more overseas players playing the wrong position and a better balance of how we use our spots (not 3 on props for example).

Odd character and I don't believe he's a great technical coach either

Now its official that Myler is the clubs D.O.R I think its important we throw our support behind him as a collective. Yes he may be inexperienced but as I mentioned on a previous post and as others have also said we aren't an attractive prospect currently despite rumour/reports of serious investment incoming.

I'm pretty sure whoever is putting investment in to the club, they will be pretty savvy people to have got to where they are and will no doubt have had an input in to the DOR position. They certainly wouldn't want a total yoyo put in place so I do believe there is to be some merit in the arrival of Myler.

Currently what we do know is despite his D.O.R inexperience he is a huge step in the right direction/improvement compared to having Clark or Adam himself involved in that role.

We as fans asked for change and a structural change from top to bottom and we are now seeing that take place so we need to just take stock and see what other changes take place before we judge.

I have been critical of the club from AP down and believe rightly so, but I am willing to give Myler a chance to see what he can deliver.

As for a coach I think it would have to be Rowley or someone who from down under.

Can you listen to it first mate, started the last one and couldn't cope with Shaw and the amount of things he got wrong.

Shaw still obsessed with us like quite a few Dobbins are?

Must admit in the last one Matt come across as a bit of a plank. Maybe he had his Rovers hat on that day.

I'll take one for the team and give it a listen on the commute home



Hopefully it's a bit more balanced
