To me it would still appear that we are working under financial constraints and will be yet again way under the cap with the players we’ve signed. People keep mentioning that we ‘offered Lam a huge contract’ and call me a cynic it’s easy to offer someone something you know they have no intention of taking, I did call that weeks and weeks ago on this thread the very first time Lam was mentioned.
The nepotism thing, yeah it’s hard to argue there isn’t some nepotism in the appointment but appointing a DOR isn’t quite the same as appointing a coach. Leeds have done recently with Blease but clubs don’t tend to go around poaching other clubs DOR, it’s often someone already in some kind of role at a club or an ex player or coach often without any previous experience of that specific role. Myler was a top level player and I’m sure it was said on a podcast recently that he has some kind of degree in sports management or something along those lines so it’s not exactly complete nepotism, he’s got the credentials you’d want, I’d call it more of a leg up.
Well Tom Briscoe has a degree in Sport & Exercise Science but that doesnt make him a great Physio.
Myler may have been a decent player in his time but ill bet he is a complete unknown in Australia.
Until i see him pulling in some real quality players and getting players in due to commercial abilty rather than easy pickings of his ex wedding guests then im dubious to say the least.
Seems to me that he has now passed the buck to the new coach coming in
