In all fairness havent heard anything from Myler during this circus and all the talking is coming from Offiah. We do know the club have offered him the chance to become the highest paid Salford player ever, which was rejected.
There is only so much we should do before we wash our hands of him and wish him the best of luck for the future and concentrate on finding a suitable replacement. If he wants to stay then I would be made up, but the noises coming from Myler's camp suggest he wants out.
As you point out, we've had no indication of any kind that Myler doesn't want to play for us. Rejecting a contract offer is not automatically the same as saying he doesn't want to play for Salford.

If the reported ' best contract ever offered to a Salford Player isn't encouragement enough, no amount of chanting is going to altering his decision what ever that may be.
"Bank" is the attitude that has got us where we are today.

When we look at this calmly most people would prefer it if he stayed and we built the team around him and Ratchford. They are a fantastic prospect as a pair and I would rather keep them both. However, all the hype has caused fans to grow tired of it. At the Saints game I heard someone shout "f*** off Myler we don't need you". This is what Offiah has done to the lad. He was everybody's hero a few weeks back now people just think he should leave. It is now the time for Myler to stand up and be counted. He needs to come out and say he wants to play for Salford. If he doesn't then I'd rather he went. As someone has said stop hiding behind his agent. He may be only young but he is old enough to vote, drink, get married. He is surely old enough to make his mind up as to where he wants to play his rugby. All I ask of him is to pull his tripe out until the very last time he pulls off that red shirt. With an England spot up for grabs I don't see him pulling a Robinson or a Coley. Lets just get it over with as the specualtion is not good for the club.
I do agree with the points raised here about Myler coming out from behind Offiah. It's perfectly correct that Offiah should be acting for Myler and advising but ATEOTD Myler needs to make his own decision and that doesn't seem to be happening.
Honestly, if Myler goes because we let him rather than because he wants to then we'll be all be talking in twenty years about what might have been. We should be doing everything possible to keep him.
