If I have it correct, Rob Myler, who played at Warrington, is Richie Mylers step dad. Richie is also Doug Laughton's nephew. As richardviking has said, Richie is not related to the other Mylers, but carries the name because of his step dad.
Splitting hairs but he might be great-nephew rather than nephew of Doug Laughton.
Doug, in turn, was great-nephew of Paddy Douglas and Jerry Laughton*, the Widnes half-backs at Wembley in 1930 so young Richie has a good pedigree.
* I realise this makes it sounds like Douglas and Laughton were married to each other but this was not the case.
