Hi this is Ritchie Myler from Hull FC Who?
Better to let Gaz Ellis ring first
Hi its Gaz Ellis from Hull FC Hi Gaz hows it going mate
I’m not going to say that Myler will be a great DOR because we simply don’t know yet, but like I said on the other thread there’s no real blueprint for what makes a great DOR, some of seemingly the best DOR appointments in recent years are not big names nor have previous experience in that role.
You made a scenario of Aussie agents and players maybe not knowing Myler, this is likely true but pound for pound the best performing DOR in recent years has to be Ian Blease especially managing to bring over Aussies who perform well. He’s had them punching well above their financial weight on the back of this. He’s not even close to being a household name. Chris Chester at Leigh another, they’ve made some cracking overseas signings. Agents simply don’t put the phone down if the DOR hasn’t played in Australia or a household name.. If it was that simple clubs would be fighting over the likes Martin Offiah, Ellery Hanley, Garry Schofield etc for DOR roles.
