Myler happy to bide his time
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Richie Myler is setting aside all talk of his future at club level to concentrate on holding his place at scrum-half for his country. The 19-year-old Salford player was England's man of the match in the victory over France in Paris on Saturday, scoring a record 30 points and inevitably intensifying speculation that he could be set to join a bigger club.
St Helens and Wigan have been linked with him, although Warrington, under the England coach, Tony Smith, have emerged as the favourites but Myler said: "I've got one more year on my contract at Salford and I'm happy to leave any contract talks to my agent."
Myler, represented by Martin Offiah, who is well aware of his client's burgeoning value, is more intent on retaining his England place. "Tony Smith told me I have to keep it up for the rest of the season to get my spot for the Four Nations and he's obviously right," he said.
Lee Briers, the half-back Myler could replace at Warrington, will miss the next two games with a hamstring injury. He suffered a recurrence of the problem in the defeat by Bradford on Sunday.
