Martin Offiah's 50 Of The Best - Fifty of the greatest rugby league tries of all time. It's advertised on the right-hand side of the forum. Bizarrely, in my opinion, he's written a book (or put his name to someone else's work) on tries everyone scored rather than on his own best 50 — which would have been a more personal account.

Anyway, if you feel you want to meet the big man, for whatever reason... he's doing book signings on Thursday 3rd December at 5pm (Waterstones in the Trafford Centre) and 7pm at Gala Bingo on Salford Precinct (!).

Personally I have no problem with Offiah, he did what his client wanted.

More importantly he is Adamson's agent and he stayed.

In my opinion Martin Offiah represents everything that is wrong with sport these days Ie Greed, Lies and more lies.

I think it would be fairer to replace the words "Martin Offiah represents" with "agents represent". Offiah was only doing what any other agent would do - maximising the amount of money he could get for himself and his client. It's a job, and he did it (and is laughing all the way to the bank).

Correct. McRae himself admits in the week's League Express that the Myler deal was done months before it was announced. FWIW I think the 'largest contract offer to a Salford player EVER' was just empty rhetoric to pacify the fans, and I think Offiah is happy to make himself the pantomime villain of the whole deal as it takes the heat off Richie.

All agents are as bad Offiah gets it worse because of his profile in the game (and his, uh, dreadful, uh, pundit, uh, work).
