Surely this was mentioned in another thread the other day?????

Can't see that mate...............I love where all these rumours are coming from though its becoming funnier and funnier

Agents are all the same....its not about whats good for his client...its about what percentage the agent can make out of the deal.
Just because Offiah played at Wierdnes and the Pies doesn't mean he will have his client play for them.

First thing is that that Salford have his contract, not Offiah.
Myler doesn't have to leave until his contract is over, but not too unlike Gleeson, once his contract is over, then he's off to wherever he wants and the club gets in respect peanuts for him.
It would probably be in Offiah's intrest to get Myler to see out his contract, it certainly wont be in Salfords!
Trust me, Salford want(or have) a settlement, they don't have the money to arrange a contract extension.

Offiah's cut will come from a percentage of how much he can negotiate a contract for Myler and any merchandising.

O rly?

Trust me the signing fee for Myler's contract is already agreed. The figure Salford want is £250,000. It's thought Warrington have agreed to pay that, Wigan however have not but have shown interest. Concidering that Myler only has less than a year to the next contract tampering date then that is a big price.
The Gleeson deal was only £100,000 and he had almost two years left on his contract.

It's nothing new that Warrington have paid a big fee before, remember that Warrington have already paid £220,000 for Gleeson when he had only a season and a half left on his contract.
In that deal, Warrington became the first club in almost two years to sign a player for a fee!

The daily noises coming from Offiah at the moment is because he wants clubs to thrash it out so he and his client get more money.
As I said Salford want to sell, and sell fast, but they can't get a deal until Offiah is sure that he has run this course the full distance and has gotten every penny he and Myler can get from it.

As he is under 22 when his contract expires, if Salford offer him an improved contract than the one he is on, he is NOT classed as a free agent and they can demand a fee. So maybe not...

Err.....NO

They cant afford him.

your right. briers wont be here. he'll be up north!

I think we would be crazy to go into next season with a half back pairing of Myler and Monaghan (that's if Briers does leave). But whatever Smith decides to go with I will trust.

250k is way too much to be asking for IMO though. He is going well at the moment but a fee that large for a player as untested as he is could turn out to be a disaster.

If we have to face another year of Monaghan at halfback, I think I'll cry. It's actually making me sad watch him now. He needs to go back to the NRL, tear it up, and let us chat amongst ourselves about why we make players look bad.

Or it could be a fantastic move where you get a great player for the next 10 years. A fee is going to have to be paid after he contract is up anyway.

I agree a fee of that amount if far too much, and there are no guarantees we hold onto him for 10 years anyway. He isn't going to sign a contract for 10 years now is he......
