Quote In EnemyTerritory="In EnemyTerritory"For the record... I am not a Warrington fan and I do know that he was a talent before you got him. In the end you benefited from a coach that didn't put his faith in him. Make no mistake though that this lad had a lot of plaudits and has done so for a while.
As for what you have provided him outside of playing time it is no more than he would have got everywhere else. You are seriously deluded if you think that you have shaped him into the player he has become.
As for your argument about him being destroyed if he went to Warrington what exactly are your arguments for that? Someone could quite easily argue that he could be in danger of going stale at Salford.
At the end of the day he has met all the challenges he has faced this far and moving to a bigger club is the logical next step.
It pains me to admit it, but Warrington are or are certainly on the verge of becoming one of the big clubs.
Winning trophies is one thing but facilities, money, reputation, fan base all contribute to and I don't think they will be without a trophy for too long.'"
I like your reasoned arguments and credit to you for arguing a view sensibly. The trouble is, they are arguments based on "Maybe". Salford has shaped him into the player he has become. As Salford fans that know, watch, and interact with the people that perform on the pitch and those that run things off it, we are in a more knowledgeable position than those wishing to comment on something that has piqued their interest over half a season. Myler has natural talent. But natural talent alone does not make you consistent, stand-out, confident, balanced amongst other things. Salford must be doing something right with the young guys. Whether you know or not, there is a lot of very good young players coming through. I'd be surprised if the likes of Turner, Ratchford, and Adamson (If they continue the way they are going) to become RL big guns. Not to mention the fringe youngsters eager to improve.
While I will agree that if Myler considers himself the best in the business he should move on to get the most out of a short career I disagree with the fact that my Club did nothing more than to play him regularly to develop him into what he is.
As for Warrington. They wouldn't be the first club to throw lots of money at a problem in hope of some short-term success. They are a club with lots of potential, but we have all been saying that for at least ten years...
