I have 2 disagree with this one sorry. I know as RL fans we don't like what is happening with Eastmond but from an agents pov he's been good for his clients.
Myler 2 wire=good for Myler
Eastmond extension= good for Eastmond due to the reasons above.
We may not like it but he is opening doors for his clients |

Myler 2 wireCorrect. He's doing the best he can for his clients. If he can get eastmond a 5 year deal in union for £125k a year then he's done very well for eastmond. Just as Clarke did for Ashton.

Myler 2 wire
Is a move to Wire a wise move for Mylers career at this point? with all the pressure that comes with that I doubt it is especially as Salford offered him their biggest ever contract to stay and develope in a less pressurised enviroment.
He could have stayed there but Offiah wouldn't have got a cut of the transfer fee then. IMO none of Offiah's clients will ever stay with a club for more then 2 or 3 years because that just won't make him enough money.
I said the other day when Eastmond signed his new contract that Offiah would give it 6 months and then start touting a move to Union again......................I got that wrong! He's already started the ball rolling by talking to the press about how he's been in talks with Jason Robinson about a move for him in the future. He'll be made up if that goes through and not because he'll have made Eastmond a pile of cash but more because he'll again get a cut of any transfer fee that Union will have to pay.
He's looking after himself plain and simple just as all the agents in football do. These agents aren't in the game to look after young players welfare..............they're in it to make a quick buck!

Offiah is touting him towards Union when he's 25. Until then he'll be with Saints. It is up to Saints to keep him in RL as at present the only person talking about Union is Offiah.
Perhaps a change of agent rather than a change of code would be more appropriate.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Offiah hasn't sent anyone to Union yet. Clarke and Howes have. |

Valid point.
Clarke had to cheek to complain about us losing Ashton as well. |

Yet, being the word Rouges.
Not for the want of trying from Offiah as he says he's already spoken to Jason Robinson.

Read a piece last week with Offiah bigging up this kid Omari Caro as the next big thing in Rugby League and now we see why!
Michael Worrincy is going to be the worlds best player in a couple of years aswell  |

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

When I met Offiah last year at our reserves match in London, it was obvious he is very close to the Quins side, including the management and the players.
His career and income depends on his ability to get the best deal for his clients, and if he can build a reputation as a good agent, he'll get more clients.
Let's not forget that to him and the players their career is short, and they need to earn money whilst working.
As much as we, as fans, want the best players in RL, we can't begrudge a player chasing the cash, when we would probably do the same in our own walks of life. |

"Wigan Athletic - No known famous fans. The town (of Wigan) apparently goes into hibernation when the Rugby League season ends!" Daily Mail Online feature, July 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!
............
Wigan RLFC - The Uprising!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Wigan footballer Mohamed Diame described the home of mint balls and pies as 'cr**py'.
But Tomkins boomed: "I don't want to know what he thinks. I don't even know his name. He only plays for Latics.":16522.jpg |

According to Offiah on Sky towards the end of the season, Michael Worrincy is already THE best back rower in SL

I agree, but it's inevitable that RL folk will resent it when someone like Offiah - who owes everything he has to RL - starts looking to send RL players to RU.
Sure, it's all about money. But British RL can ill-afford to lose any more players, particularly from its star ranks, which are threadbare as it is. People like Offiah and Andy Clarke expect us to understand that they must get the best deal possible for their clients. In turn, they must understand why we hate them for deliberately weakening our game. |

Michael Worrincy is officially the most mentioned sportsman on Sky Sports News for 2009 so far
David Beckham is lagging 2,537 mentions behind and Wayne Rooney is 1,450 behind. Tiger Woods is making a late charge but is still a whopping 5,550 behind.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
