Nothing against Myler himself but i dont like Nepotism.
I am sure you will agree If it wasnt for his Father in Law then he wouldnt be here so is he the best DOR we could have found?
If we have been in the market for Lam with a reported huge offer then i am seriously suggesting recruitment could have been better.
Before the gang come on with the who would you have signed thats not my job but if it was my job i wouldnt have signed any of the players he has signed.
We have already seen what Briscoe and Chamberlain have to offer so if that level is acceptable to fans then we are really in trouble both on and off the field.
Much better to focus on quality than a quantity of average Joes
Myler has gone for BOGOFs
I agree that personally I’d have wanted more quality, but I don’t know what budget Myler has to work with. 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.
