Well he keeps being told he is going to be picked then Millward changes his mind overnight.

I think the fact Warrington, Hull & Leeds have all been interested/are interested (apparently) in him shows the potential he has.

How can you say "I think it's fact" followed by "apparently". Which one is it Gronk? Has anyone other than Leigh showed genuine interest in Ryan Brierley? As mdean says, he could be another Matty Dawson, Andy Kain, etc or he could come back to bite us. Personally, I think it'll be the first one.

Academy product locally I guess is a better description - thank you for correction, he cant help not being born on the right side!

Apparent interest - yeah - I am apparently interested in giving up drinking! Talk is a Championship side I am hearing, one where he knows what peg to hang his kit on already.

Not having a pop, just saying.

Well guys, I've had a bad enough day anyway so I'm not going to mince my words. I am proper P'doff that Ryan will be leaving the club.

As I have expressed before, some are saying...'well he might look good in the Championship but Superleague is a completely different level.' We let me tell you, there are very few in our squad this year who would even get noticed at Championship level, never mind look exceptional like Ryan has.

About 6 weeks ago a pal of Ryans (also from Chorley) told me that this was happening, and that he was about to be 'let go' by Cas and was being messed around.

That leads me on nicely to talk about that clown called Millward!! Only a couple of months ago (and the video blog will still be on the Cas site) he rambles on about how Ryan will be a big feature of our squad next year, he's such a talent etc etc. What a complete tool Millward continues to prove himself to be.

I really do think that he will be one of the biggest talents that the club has ever let slip through their fingers, and I wish him all the best for the future.

Looks like they're letting Ben Blackmore go too

This club is an utter shambles.

Re: Ryan Brierley : Wed Aug 22, 2012 8:07 pm  

getting fed up of players with huge potential leaving the club .......i cant help but think its the aussie influence (i can expand on this opinion if needed).

Also we need some accountability here , who fetched ryan in and thought he was potentially good enough ?
who let him go and clearly thinks he is now not good enough ?
Was it the same person ?

We all use the phrase "comes back to bite us" but where should the book stop when a player is moved on and then makes it elsewhere ........ Greg eden is the other that springs to mind and there must be loads more like this in the past few years.

Ryan & someone else (Josh Parle?) sent in DVD's to Cas showing them how good they both were and then they got picked up off the back of that so I'm assuming the head of scouting?

Ian Millward because he's brought in Tansey to fill the same spots?

No

I'd take Brierley over Tansey any day of the week. I would have thought that keeping Brierley in a full time environment and having Danny Orr helping him with his coaching would make him even better. I can't believe he will develop better at Leigh (no disrespect to Leigh intended).

Please do, otherwise it just comes across as small-minded and bigoted
