No one likes taking a pay cut. It is possible that Myles / Orr went to the Roosters to discuss the contract renewal after 2012 and the Roosters told them the next contract will be less than $400k and that he should test the market if he doesn't like it. Given the market has (reportedly) valued him at $300k, the Roosters may still make him an offer of this amount.
There have been a few instances already this year where players have looked like leaving, then at the last minute resigned with the Roosters (Kennedy, Symonds). It may be part of the Roosters strategy to ensure they don't pay over market value for a player.
Maybe if they had've used this strategy with Anasta, we would've resigned him for $100k?
I am not going to assume that because Myles is testing his value on the market that he is not happy at the Roosters. This may be the case, but I am not going to believe it because of what either his manager or the DT say.
