Ironic that Tony Smith signed Myler for Warrington.

I wonder if Myler still keeps in touch with Brian McDermott, their paths briefy crossed at Leeds.

So Myler's FIL, a big figure at Leeds Rhinos, is buying him a role he has no qualifications for at a rival club? Nepotism or sabotage?

I’ll say this now ;
Myler is the new DoR for one reason and one reason only !!!!!!!!

£££££££££££££££££ and more £££££££

We lost £1m last year and we’ve paid off
Gene and Smith and Hoy.
We’ve agreed to Mylers salary.
We’re signing many replacements this season when we should write it off, if we are skint !

Where’s the cash coming from ?????

I’m very happy !! Truly because Cash is what we need and cash is what we’re getting !

From his partner's father. He's the money man. This isn't about Myler, it's about the man who appears to be already calling the shots.

Comes with no links to the club….played to a high level and under some good coaches…..just don’t trust him with your other half.

I mean, if it comes with some money and funding for the FIL then it could be a small price to pay. But what the hell does Richie Myler know about been a director of rugby. It’s a ridiculous move and anyone pretending otherwise is in fantasy land.

Remember the jamie peacock episode and he supposedly has business acumen.

Feels a bit of nepotism so the man making the actual decisions can have some impact, which in its self is dangerous but at least you’ve got some finances on board which is never a negative I guess.

Strange times, and I guess you’re in a position when you’ve got not much to lose.

It's just the Hetheringtons again.

History happens twice, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

When are Leeds going to announce the Charles and Staveley signings

A bit

Lock up your wife's and partners.

So if Hull Live are correct and it is Myler as the DOR (didn't see that one coming!) and it is linked to a potential investor, does that mean that the investment is closer than AP said it was last night? Surely we don't make this kind of appointment on good faith?

Jesus Christ…people on here wanting change etc etc and we do it by 2 players going,the coach going and a DOR coming in and investment and yet they still moan.

I wonder what would happen if this is linked to investment, and it turns out Myler is awful at the job. Would we have to keep a clueless guy on board for fear of any investment been pulled.

At least he’s a man of real integrity who never went missing on the pitch or from his marriage.

Does any ex-player know what it’s like being a DOR and as for Peacock..couldn’t give a monkeys about him not doing it..Did Blease know what he was doing and he has turned out good at it….Lets just see how it goes eh
