I suspect most players have superleague type clauses i.e. if the opportunity arises they can speak to interested superleague clubs if they want to. So how much Bradford can do to keep Myers, I'm not sure. Would we get some kind of transfer fee if he goes? I'm inclined to agree that he'd end up on dual reg if he goes.

It’s the difference between going Fulltime and testing himself and maximising his development while he’s still young, and not, I suppose. If he gets an offer that compensates for his job, then he’d need to consider it.
It's always bittersweet when a young homegrown player moves on to a team in a higher league. This is part of the reality of being a part-time team—when you nurture talent, it's inevitable that some players will outgrow the level of competition we can provide. While we would love to keep our best players, we also understand and respect their ambitions to challenge themselves at the highest levels.
I assume the club do not want him to walk for nothing at the end of the season so they’re cashing their chips now.

He’s still young and let’s be honest isn’t SL quality right at this moment in time, so he isn’t going to be playing anywhere but the Championship in 2025. Now whether that’s at Bradford or another club on loan remains to be seen but are we in a position where we need to cash in on him? Unless it is an offer that is too good to refuse I guess?
Going elsewhere could end up knacking his career... In Hindsight Lawford should have stayed with us, he would have played last year. Instead he's going to be out on season long loan. We haven't looked closer to Super League since the MPG at Wakefield so there isn't much point moving on to bigger better things. Unless it's Wigan or Saints.
