Acasterknight Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It says on one of the Hull Facebook pages that their new director of rugby is talking to his current club about terminating his current contract. Doesn’t sound much room for compensation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expatknight Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 If we don’t get anything it just shows the value of a contract in rugby League these days, not to mention integrity. why am I not surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only 2 weeks away Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Wouldn't be a bad deal if we get compo, he's out for at least 3 months anyway, I'm sure he'll be our highest earner so it frees up some funds. Don't want anyone pulling on the shirt that isn't fully committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaxbyKnight Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I believe Myler received a very substantial signing on fee, hope he pays thatback if or when he leaves. I'll ask him at the match tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fax Knight Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Just add him to the list of lousy signings (there are several other words I could have used that are less polite). Getting to be quite a long list since 2019. I don’t think the word “commitment” and “Ritchie Myler” should ever be used together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me, or has the signing of Myler in the first place had a disruptive effect on the Knights team attitude and performance from the start? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaxbyKnight Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Interesting theory. What I will say is that I bumped into 3 Knights players in the city centre just before Christmas, and they told me that Myler had had a very positive impact on the squad since he had signed. He didn't feature in any pre season games, so maybe his heart wasn't in it once he had settled in. Let's just get our money back and move on. He won't be missed, he's hardly played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine whatever the terms where Ritchie has the option to retire with his injury, so I would think that the club won’t be in a position to demand anything or it will force this to happen. As others have said - we move on. If he has had a positive impact with some of the team during his short stay then great, but we won’t really miss someone we have never seen the impact of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puk Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The signing of Myler was a great bit of business at the start of the season to bring his experience and class to the team,but has been blighted by injuries and does leave us again short of half back options even though he was going to missing for a couple of months and hopefully if we have paid him a signing on fee that he gives it back to the club.

Neutralfan7 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I might be wrong here, but if he's retired I don't think he'll need to give any signing on fee back. Would be more a gesture of goodwill but I can't see it happening. Shame for York as I thought he would be great for you when you first signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many "star" signings dropping down from SL to a Championship club have actually been good value? Far fewer than those who significantly disappointed, I would say. 3 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Fax Knight Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 In terms of Yorks ‘star signing’, there’s been one - Thompson. The rest have been a waste of time and money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
