i personally as a fan of richie myler ,do believe that if the price is right we should let him go to pastures new with our blessing , but it should not be less than £500,000 OR HALF A MILLION , i know this may sound a lot but this would not be a gamble for who ever signed him , richie tonight proved how good he is , so MR OFFIAH you do have a good bargaining tool but we at salford hold the contract , do not forget that , so at the end in 2010 richie is only 21 so enabling a transfer fee which will be nothing lesss than the fiqures alrready stated

Tough choice but i'd go with the £500,000

If we are serious in thinking we should get half a million for his services, then we should be breaking the bank to try to keep him in my opinion. He is the future and we will only get where I would like us to be by building a team around him. He is an outstanding talent with another twelve years or so to improve.


Let's pull out all the stops to keep him.

Much as i would love to i just dont see Richie Myler playing the best years of his career in a Salford shirt. Depressing as it sounds we just cant compete at the moment with those better supported clubs. Ths Stadium issue just rumbles on and on with no end in sight. Clubs like Warrington Wigan Leeds Saints Hull are never in any danger of having a franchise removed hence they can plan with certaintanty for the future with a guarentee(sic) of almost permanant top level rugby. Clubs like ourselves Wakey Castleford are expendable due to a host of already well discussed reasons. So when a prospect like Myler or Turner and players like Atkins at Wakey and Westerman at Castleford come along they are still vulnerable to the cherry picking antics of the big clubs. So we sell the lad for as much as we can and look to invest our windfall wisely. Depressing i know but franchised or not we are still very much behind the eight ball when situations like this one appear.

That's part of my concern. Do fans REALLY want JAW to break the bank to keep Myler?

His presence in the team hasn't increased attendances and hence won't add to our revenue, nor has his presence hasn't lifted us out of the bottom three.

If we were to throw a huge amount of money at him it would either jeopardise the quality of the rest of our squad, or leave us in a more vulnerable position financially.

As our sound financial footing appears to be the only reason we got into SL ahead of Widnes, is it really worth gambling for the sake of one player, who could get badly injured in his next game.

I am just as keen as anyone for Richie to stay with us, and desperately hope he will. However one player does not an SL team make. Also, he displayed very little loyality to his hometown club in joining us so can't imagine why he would show any loyality to us?

His agent will want a big move, Tony Smith will want him playing in the top four if he is to secure his Enlgand place and there are a number of 'bigger' clubs who would be very interested in his services (and when I say 'bigger'' I mean bigger than us AND bigger than Wire?!)

We need to give him what he and his agent wants. Tie him down on a three year contract if it means making him the best payed player at the club so be it. Then do the same for Turner, Adamson and Ratchford. Build for the future with homegrown talent thus giving us a better chance with the franchising next time around. If we have 4 internationals then the RFL will have to keep us in the SL but if we start to let the players go then we could end up like Swinton.
DARE TO DREAM. Come on Reds sort it out!

We either stay as a feeder club for these so called bigger clubs and lose all our best talent or we go for it and put a statement of intent and keep the wolves at bay.
It is totally in our chairmans hands now.
I trust him to make the right decision.

BTW Richie left Widnes when they basically went tit$ up.We were the only club bold enough to take a chance on him.I hope he takes this into consideration when he makes his decision.

whats that saying"MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND"lets be honest if any of the bigger clubs come in and that is including the wire we havent got the money 2 match them.offiah is doing a top job i darnt watch the highlights shown on skysports news tonight.
