he is the best young english halfback in the game by a country mile,worthy of a transfer fee and worth signing on something like a 5 year deal,that is my take on matters anyway.
i just its a gamble by warrington the lad has played half a season in super league and everyone is bigging him up
just i thought buy him loan him back to salford for a season and keep lee and monas just to give Myler more time to learn his trade away from the fickle fans of warrington

Whilst signing Myler would be something of a gamble, the fact remains that if Wire, or more accurately Simon Moran, can afford it, then he is no bigger a gamble than any other half back we may decide to go after.
As for those questioning his experience??...Well, a certain Lee Briers was a virtual novice when we signed him up....Yes, there was very little cost to his transfer, but the risk factor involved with him was probably greater than it is for Myler, and whether you are a fan of Briers or not, it cannot be argued that he has been a good servant to the club.
Ultimately, if Simon Moran decides he has enough spare cash going from his Oasis promotions and he fancies a punt on a potentially future great, then I think we should just let him take that so-called gamble...

In a weird way, the fee we paid for Briers was probably a bigger financial risk than what we'd end up paying now for Myler. As in, the club in 1997 had to sell Harris & Sculthorpe to survive, by spending £65,000 on Briers, it was a big investment for a club that was struggling to survive.
Also, there's little risk, as he can't be any worse than Sullivan & Monaghan who will have both commanded large salaries and have failed to deliver. It's not like he has big boots to fill.

I think we should go for the lad and pay what he wants im fed up of the wire way of getting players from oz that tell us they want to play half back and paying top money for them.lets go out and take a chance on good english talent like we did when we got briers and as long as us fans give the boy time to develop am sure it will be money well spent,imho

Your second paragraph is absolutely spot on. People are starting to come out of the woodwork now stating that he is over-rated because we are being linked, but he really can;t be any worse than the dross we have had the last couple of times. I think he is a better player than Monas is right now, never mind in the future.
When people talk about transfer fees, I couldn't care less. We look to be financially strong, despite this tax bill that was going to bankrupt us a few months back, and if the club decide they can afford it then fine. If that means an extra £1 per ticket, then that's also fine by me. It is good that we are in for the big names in the game now.
