if i was mcrae i would not include him in the 19 man squad for fridays game at the willows i would pay him and not play him as he is not on much if he wants to mess salford around we should mess his head up because we all know if salford dont play him he will not be getting in the england team for the four nations and who does offiah think he is.....he is nothing but a direspectful man who once use to play for the club he is having a go at.... anybody agree??

I disagree, its offiah who persuading him to reject or accept deals.

I with you on this one, its not the fact i dont want richie to play because he didnt sign his contract, the reason i feel he should not be in the 17 because he is beginning to look a bit tired and needs arest and SALFORD CITY REDS also need to start planning for life without richie.

If there was relegation and we needed to stay in superleague then id play him but as there is no relegation and its all about development of SALFORD CITY REDS and not richie myler, id play him in a few weeks perhaps of the bench like robbie paul will give us a bit of zip round the ruck. He'll play for england and the end of the year regardless the media circus with make sure of that.

Playing him week in week out in a crutial position will stunt our growth and development as a team as we can only start planning when he goes giving us possibly 6 friendly games nxt season to sort it out, not enough time imo

There's a few reasons why I would not play him:

1. He's looking jaded atm
2. His head will be all over the place atm
3. If he breaks his leg we don't get a nice big transfer fee
4. We should be looking to develop Ratchford and Smith partnership for the rest of the season.
5. He does not want to continue to play for the club

I'm not bitter about him moving, as most of my posts have been in favour of getting shut due to harsh reality. I just think it should be all about Salford going forward now, not Myler and the club should be looking at where to invest the transfer fee when it comes.

the problem i have with it all is he was going no matter what we offered if reported and i maybe wrong 120000 a season its a terrific amount for a 30 year old never mind 19 offiah has done is job really well but it could come back 2 haunt him.myler is a 19 year old with 4 months of superleague behind him.if he is going he might aswell go now and we then can go with ratchford and smith for the rest of season

what i dont like is a coach who is a super league coach and the national coach at the same time tapping one of are best players away with the lure of playing for england.

How do we know?

I would say rejecting a huge contract is pretty much a clear sign he wants out.
Whether Offiah said it or not Richie must have some say.
If he starts now at that salary what about next contract negotiations.
Lets face reality here we just can not afford him and he obviously knows this and his worth so will be off

well he can play on with his current contract, and we can still get a price for him, the loser here is Richie by about £70,000 a year at present.

The minute you stop playing him is the point at which you reduce the amount we will receive for him.
