Maybe because they've asked players to take a pay cut, that might alter plans made 1-2 years ago somewhat.

Nah, read it back it clearly implying the misinformation was a couple of months back...

"Had the club shown this was the direction they were going in a couple of months back, instead of all the misinformation they gave, then yes I would definately have chosen option 3 and been done with."


Whats the nonsense that's happened in the last couple of months that's meant the plan was misinformation?

Give them a call I'm sure they'll let you change your mind and get a refund when you explain to them you have been misinformed.

Covid will have a big impact i dont see how it couldnt.
So with thst in mind id say our recruitment has to be even more selective rather thsn throw a liad of dung at the wall & see whst sticks.
I still stand by the opinion that current younger lads should be selected before any incomings like Thompson Evans & Ferres.
Also if we're bringing in has beens to be a good influence on those youngsters then A. WTF are the Coaching Staff doing & B. WTF are the likes of Prior Cuthbo Ava Hurrell Myler Gale T.Briscoe et al doing?

Glad we have extended the deal !

Some people aren't half drama queens, deary me, embarrassing reading some of the above. It makes you wonder how they got through the '80s and '90s if the current situation is all too much for them (although perhaps they were amongst the missing when things got tough back then too).

It's pretty clear on Myler:
1. Leeds said no way will we be able to extend your contract on anything like you are currently on.
2. Myler went off and found a good deal elsewhere.
3. Myler started the season exceptionally (which wasn't really a surprise to some of us who had always wondered what he might be able to do if used correctly and not paired with disastrous half back partners).
4. His deal at Toronto fell through.
5. Leeds ended up agreeing reduced terms for a very, very useful player who can fill a lot of gaps for us.

Indeed. It will have changed our strategy significantly

Didnt think id be saying this before the season started, but quite happy he's re-signed, he's shown to be a valuable player with his new found versatility.

That's my perspective of it too

Quite pleased he is staying for his utility value. Now we have Gale to do the job of organising the team, which unfortunately Myler seemed incapable of doing, he has been a good asset. He has proved our best option at Fullback when Walker is missing, which is pretty often atm. He can provide cover at hooker and could play outside Gale in the halves.
I'm not sure he will be in the side with everyone fit but if he happy to provide cover it sounds a good deal to me.

Agreed. I think the club realise he can make an impact in a number of positions. He’s quite a natural support player and try poacher but not an organiser.

Assuming he isn't on a fortune I think it's a decent deal. Walker seems injury prone to me and experienced cover in the halves sounds ok to me.

Has the lad from the eels signed for wigan?

I very much hope he wasn't signed with the intent of him doing that role because Myler is simply not that player. He always needed to be paired with an organising half back and instead we gave him Joel Moon and Tui Lolohea (before Lolohea briefly turned into the reincarnation of Wally Lewis).

Him plus Gale rather than Lui in the halves remains a very interesting option in my view but not one which Agar has yet needed to or been able to explore.
