Ok lets say he will be in 2/3 years time. How do we sign him now? He won't leave Salford unless its for a big money deal, do we pay him more than he is worth on the basis he will be that good in 2/3 years. If we don't then another club will. If we do and win the race to sign him then what happens if he does not turn into this world class player people think he will be?

I see your point, but on that basis you'd never take a punt on anybody. Sometimes you have to take a risk on the promising youngsters in the game because there's always a chance you could end up with something really good at the end of it. Would it be better to spend top dollar on a 'proven' scrum half like Dykes who plays about 7 games a season, or slightly less on an unproven but very promising one? Also, I don't think he'd demand quite the sort of fee you're implying - although it would be fairly substantial.

On your last point, I'm not saying he'll be world class, but I don't think it's overstating the point to say he could easily turn out to be as good as Burrows or Long.

I agree you have to take a punt now and again when it comes to young players. I just feel that the SH position has been such a problem for us and is an area we desperately need to sort out that we need someone proven. They may only be here for 3 years but that is a long time in RL. I am not saying I would not like Myler but he won't come cheap and imo we need better at SH than what he offers at present. If we could sign a top 6 and Myer then maybe that would work and Horne could stay at fullback.

Dont get me wrong, he has a bags of potential, but we are craving a top class scrum half, and we have been for a good number of seasons now.

with the spare cap money and quota spaces, now would be the ideal time to pull out all the stops to get one.

Looks more of a stand off to me, would love to sign him as long as we sign a top SH for him to play with him.

I would be shocked if we where to sign him.

wire have signed myler 4 next year apparantley

Why the fook would he want to go there?

May as well stay at Salford!

His Dad played for them.

Maybe Gaz Carvell told him there's more chance of winning something there.

To be honest, if i was to meet the Wire Board and Tony Smith, then pop to see Kath and Agar, I'd know instantly that i was heading to Warrington!

Who is then, who and where is this proven No7 then??

Eveytime a name is suggested we get the 'he's not the proven No7 we need' but never come up with an alternative.

I'd be happy if we brought Myler in tbh, he is far from finished article and has to develop maybe he could do that here. Same thing probably would have been said about Dobson before we got a look at him.

Might as well get a pop in while we're at it.

Regarding Myler could be a good player in the future but I hope we get a more experienced international/SOO player to lead us around the park.

Personally think he's (Myler) being way to 'bigged' up, the only young player that i'd want at the moment is Westerman, he's miles ahead of every other young English player imo.

I don't think he's miles ahead of every other young English player. Ainscough is top of the try scoring charts in his first season, Myler is a scrum half playing really well behind a consistently beaten pack, Tommy Briscoe looked great for us whilst we played awfully, there's quite a few boom youngsters to be fair.

Hes a talent, but I dont think he will make a top class 7, and not t oo different from Richard Horne, more of a broken play player, that said he will make a a great 6 and would love to see us show the ambition to buy a player, but I just cant see it.

The brown paper envelopes stuffed with cash, 6 figure salary for his girlfriend and credit card sponsored by Simon Moran would just be the icing on the cake.

He's going to the WIRE... Trust me. Briers is off to Barrow end of the season and Myler going to the WIRE.

IDIOT ALERT ! ! !

Right, sunshine. I've had enough of you already. Consider this your first and last warning - behave or you're gone.

Understand?

Was only saying that the other day.

When you see who this lot get for number seven next season, you're going to be gutted at getting Myler.

Thorman?

He said getting .... Thorman is already here.

He'll be long gone.

Has been in most games so far.
