Myler to Wire

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

IL might be making a smokescreen, some have criticised him in the past myself included but if we get Myler it would be 100% business.

As a club, if we're in for Long we should almost certainly be in for Myler currently. We have the funds (transfer wise) to get him here thats no question. The question is is 'Wigan' still attractive to players of rugby league? 10 years ago would a 19 year old rather play for wigan or warrington? To the younger players is Wigan still 'the' team?

a bonus is that he has Martin Offiah as his agent.
Hopefully he will also know that Wigan have a great squad for the future which could be based round his talents.

Good point. How many half backs are available who would give us 10 years service? We either go for an Aussie who will stick around for 3 years if that or we try and emulate what Leeds and Saints have done and get a stable half back partnership for years to come.

If Salford make Myler available being outbid on the transfer fee front is not an option IMO. Bailey and Phelps wages ought to leave enough in the pot to meet wage demands.

The longer Noble remains coach the less attractive the club will be IMO. Myler can see what we all see and it can't be an attractive proposition to play in a side like ours plays under Noble.

This is one reason IL ought to be announcing Noble's successor. Any potential transfer targets will want to know who their coach will be and it may well make a difference if they sign or not.

Maybe so, but he still aint head and shoulders above Myler.

I would have thought Salford have been inundated with offers for Myler, and much better ones than this from Wigan, if it is true.

Maybe with the enevitable departure of Hock we would not need to get rid of the above two players, Hock must have been on a very good wage, still can't believe he has done this, as they say on das army "stupid boy"

Would be a real shame if Myler went to wire; would be a real waste of his talents.

Pairing him with Tomkins could potentially build a partnership that could last ten years. Unfortunately we aren't much more of a pull than wire are at the momoent

If the money is right theres no reason he wouldnt come to Wigan.
As Ancient & Loyal also said, its a good 10 years business in the offing, based on that right financial negociation.
Looks like Lenehan hasnt even been looking at the Myler option with his interest already indicated for Finch.
I know who I would rather have.
