Problem is he’s not even an ex player. These so called contacts are a myth. A big challenge with that as well is nobody really liked him as a player.

You’ve gained nothing in which you didn’t have with smith bar a reputable character not know for all the things you’d want in a DOR. Some might be comfortable with that knowing a money man comes with, if it was my club I think I could accept that, but to pretend it’s a good appointment on the basis of what he will bring to the role is disingenuous at best. You can’t be that starved of positivity people clutch at these straws.

Your man Tarquin has got it right, all about the money but putting somebody in this position could do more damage than could. All will be revealed I guess

You sound a bit rattled.

As far as I remember Motu Toney had no experience when he took on the role at Hull. If Myler works out as well as him …. I’ll be happy

I was just going to say the same thing .Everyone has to start somewhere ,Big job for a first timer though !

Stinks this one given his link to a possible investor
That has to be the worst appointment ever given the job title
Maybe playing seven next week

Difference is Motu knew a lot of players in Australia and NZ and thats really what we need.
This appointment is a joke

So, in the space of less than another 24 hours, we can now add a new DOR alongside (seemingly) new, possibly major, investment coming into the club to the list above!

If there is one thing you can say about us, we are never boring or without incident! There always seems to be something going on around us, good, bad or indifferent!

The ability of our club to throw regular unforeseen curve balls never ceases to amaze me!!

Don't trust Davidson at all, sure he was the one saying qe where signing French

Torn on the Myler situation myself. Personally, I want someone with experience in that position right now. I feel we need someone that knows what they are doing to help us restructure and get things right. No disrespect to Myler as he may turn out to be fantastic in the role and I will gladly eat my words if he is, but it feels like a gamble.

But I can accept it if it's part of the investment and the investor wants their own man in place as part of the deal. Otherwise, I feel like AP should be looking at other options. If we're gambling on putting Myler in place to tempt Thirkill into investing and he ends up not doing so... well that would be a typical Hull FC move really!

How do you know Myler doesn’t know players over there? You talk as if Motu had a recent career over there working with this players. He’d been in England since 2004 so most of the players he’d have been around would have retired when he got his role.
