He was training with Mick Higham not Monas

They'd also take into account his age, increased development and potential whilst at Salford, the fact that he gained representative honours whilst at Salford - would certainly be considerably more than the £10k you stated.

Potential, it can go either way upto a determining point. I think Myler is still a fair way from that point. A lot has been made of Myler's inclusion for the two French games, but I see that as a learning curve, not anything more.

I do think he has a great deal of potential, but he stll has a long way to go to realise it.

More than £10k but considerably less than what they could realise the coming close season. Salford are in the position Warrington were in with Harris and Sculthorpe ie not in a position to refuse a hard cash offer.

Salford did exceptional business to pick him up when they did. He was by far the stand-out performer in youth rugby at his age (hat-trick against the Aussies) and already had first grade experience at 17. He slipped under the radar of plenty of clubs who must now be kicking themselves, although top be fair I don't remember much of a clamour from people on here saying we should have signed him at the time.

I agree. His defence is still pretty suspect, and he has a lot to learn about the game. There have been many players of his age that have had the potential yet not fulfilled it - as a Wire supporter, you would possibly class Penny in that category. Luke Robinson was the best thing since sliced bread for a while, but has not reached the heights expected.
I'd love us to keep hold of him, and build a team around him as he develops, but I fear it will be difficult. However, and no disrespect to Warrington, I don't believe Wire are the team he should go to. They will want instant results, and as he has not yet fulfilled the potential, it may be too much pressure on him.

So lets say Tony Smith amazingly became coach of Halifax (or any lower league club) and he would sign for them over us or Leeds?

Assumedly when he signs it will only be for the length of contract Smith has. 2 years?
