Admittedly not much competition. But you sign players to do certain roles and Myler wasn't signed as controlling half back. Trying to make him fit that role has been painful but it's what Leeds have done when giving the 6 shirt to Moon and Lolohea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 3 hours ago, RayCee said: If Salford are struggling to stay afloat, they should be allowed dispensation. However, if they are solvent, they should wait to the end of the season to sell. I think there should be a transfer ban at some point in a season, unless as above, a special financial case can be made. You're trying to be too sensible RayCee buying a player like Lui will galvanise and quite likely save Leeds. So loads of people care. It will in all likelihood doom Salford so only a few people will be bothered.

Leeds fans and those that are forever saying Salford bring nothing and should be in a lower league. And that means a group that far outnumber SRD fans and softspot fors. I could also add those who think Leeds will bring more fans with them too I suppose. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerless Nail Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Oxford's ability to crank the Chicken Licken up to 11 whenever Salford are mentioned is a source of great wonderment. The deal hasn't even been completed yet, but you're already reaching for the razor blades and aspirin. Christ, it was the end of the world when BMM left, it was the end of the world when Michael Dobson retired, it was the end of the world when Gareth O'Brien left, it's the end of the ###### world every time a player leaves Salford. And yet there they are, fifth in the league and playing well. There's a bloke on the Salford forum called Russ (I don't know if you know him), but maybe the two of you could go for a drink some time. You could spend a fun-packed evening sitting in a dark corner of the vault nursing half a shandy each and watching the sky fall all around you.

Angelic Cynic Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If the deal goes ahead it may amuse some Salford fans that a player signed to Salford,by Tim Sheens,continues to assist Leeds to preserve Super League status,and Hull KR are relegated. May be schadenfreude after the exchange between the 2 clubs following the drop goal drama in the Million Pound game a couple of years ago. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a player in Lolohea, leeds don't have time to find it. Salford might strike lucky Who knows...playing with Hastings might make him look a world beater and get him a big move back to Leeds mid-season next year to help them out!

The problem for Myler is that the lack of that controlling half has shone a big bright light on his shortcomings. yep, your right... but Myler's short coming have been clear since he played for Leeds, as far as I could see (my wife's a keen Leeds fan and she's being the same since he arrived - that is his plus and negative points). The fact it has been overlooked or suitable partner to complement says something about decision makers of Leeds squad... I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfolly Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 There will always be a job for Myler at Manchester Airport when he retires waving in the arriving aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Willow Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Many years ago Myler left Salford mid season, I can recall saying to Wire fans that Myler was a good player to play off someone's shoulder but wouldn't and couldn't control a game. Nothing has changed. My issue with the Lui situation is yet again a club /agent/3rd party have been involved in unsettling a Salford player, we have seen it so many times in recent seasons with Fages, O'Brien, BBM etc. As with the O'Brien the situation Salford are left in a position where they have to take the money Salford did sign players at the playoff stage last season but these were players not playing, weren't signed from a rival.

Chrispmartha Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Latest rumour... we’re clearing quota space to bring in Aiden Sezer, I don’t know much about him but after doing a bit if research he looks like exactly the player we need. He’s out of favour at the raiders, maybe he’s seen how well Austin has gone and fancies a go over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessing in disguise in my opinion, Evalds at full back is twice as good as O'Brien, I may get shot down but I don't see O'Brien as a SL player, he's not bad in the Championship but not even the best full back in that division, all my own opinion of course.

Get him in the next week and the 5 isnt out of reach. Whilst a half back is a desperate need Leeds are still left with a pack of forwards who just aren't good enough in SL, there inability to defend there own line isn't going to be cured by Lui or Sizer who's nothing special.

Sezer was out of favour at the start of the season, playing reserve grade with Sam Williams of all players keeping him out. However Sezer has been back in first grade the past few games and excelling, keeping his place on merit so I can’t see them releasing him unless it’s all pre-arranged with Williams heading over next year. Maybe Leeds have paid an early release? We’d need to release another quota player if we were to sign both him and Lui though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
