Or cheats by feigning injury.

Lets just give him a chance. To my mind he's better placed to understand players needs and the recruiment process than James Clarke. Myler has considerable contacts in the game at least.

One thought - if he's going to play as well does that mean he negotiates his salary with himself?

And make himself captain for the rest of the season?

Peacock was thick as pig shirt and seemed more interior growing his own business than doing anything for rovers. Myler can't be as bad.

Interesting appointment. Could be great, could be a disaster. Let's hope its the former. No doubt we'll end up signing a few of his former team mates

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

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.
