hey if he's not a decent scrum half, i'd love to see a great one

I have seen many great scrum half's in my day. Ryan Brierley is a poacher , an opportunist who's eye for a gap and support play is second to none where he can use his greatest asset , lightning quick feet with the ability to catch pigeons in full flight.

He can not however move our team around the park at 7 any more than you or I can. That responsibility falls firmly on young Ridyards shoulders who has to do the work of two half backs and its a heavy burden to carry.

Good coaches like your's at Halifax have sussed it and the objective is to nullify Ridyard , to nullify Leigh.

Is this the same Gledhill that has used his insider knowledge and keen mind to reassure us about each regime Bradford have had as we marched confidently into each successive administration and near death scenario? That Mick Gledhill?

Usually when people say "don't blame the messenger" they mean blame the originator of the message, not the person daft enough to listen to it. We really can't do that here.

It was upto pg9 before the player was announced. You know the off season is boring unless you are a club run by Del Boy!

People can argue as much as they want. There is no comparison between a club signing an old FB as cover and mentor to young lads up against a coach walking without a reason 10 days before the start of the season.
I don't think this is a massive problem for Leigh as long as the owner makes the right choice. It may even be a good thing in the end if handled properly. It all comes down to the reason he left. If it was personal then that is fine. If it is due to major problems within the club then not so good. It will all come out as it usually does. Big 10 days for Leigh coming up.
I wish Leigh and the Bulls well this year and hope we see promotion actually happen.

Well said Woolly.

9 Pages of debate when a new signing is announced but not named, it's called speculation and rumour. Only Gledhill seemed to think it was a big signing. Don't you worry yourself anyway, you won't lose a match this season!
