Ah The Ryan Brierley show rumbles on... Has he not gone yet? Because he needs to. In all my years watching Leigh what is unfolding with this kid is nothing short of a disgrace. The lad clearly does not want to play for Leigh, and win or lose I only want to pay good money to see players who want to wear our clubs shirt.. Swap him for Gaskell, a very good and talented player able to direct play and finally please lets draw a line under the whole sorry Brierley saga.

If Brierley wants to go just do a straighwap for gaskill,don't get me wrong Brierley can go 60 yard on a loose ball but gaskill can kick put players through a gap and also lead a team round the park so for me it's a no brainer

Absolutely spot on. Ridyard is our main man on the field, He may not run in 80 yarders but everything Leigh create goes through him. He is the one we are missing right now. Get him a proper scrum half like he used to have with young Ellis to share the playmaking duties with.

Who wrote that statement ?

Derek said this to Neil. Neil said this this to Derek who might speak to Ryan and report back to Neil.

Slick!

Definitely. We are currently missing a lot of great players like McNally, Beswick, Chase and Brierley. But if I could have one player back who would improve the side the most it would be Ridyard for certain.

He isn't very quick, he doesn't score many tries but we are twice the side when he is on the pitch. I would compare him to Danny Brough at Hudds or Sean O'Loughlin at Wigan in terms of his importance to the side.

The sooner he is back the better but with ribs it is an awkward one. You cant strap it up or avoid using your ribs. It is just a case of being better when he's better. It can't come soon enough!!

Nail - head

Don't think statement says that Bradford made offer, says Brierley told them Bradford made an offer.
Wonder what Bradford will say???

Re: Ryan... : Sat Mar 05, 2016 7:47 am  

Is the timing of this statement relevant? After the RFL has closed for the weekend. And after your CEO has announced his retirement.

I think this is purely about wage. He wants to be in SL. Bradford/Leigh have similar chances of going up - if any of that statement is true, he prefers to stay at Leigh, as long as his contract is boosted. He must feel that there's a wage discrepancy in the dressing room with your new players this season. It's a shakedown from his agent.

Re: Ryan... : Sat Mar 05, 2016 8:08 am  

It's all about money and ego. Sorry Ryan but your ability is not that to be a regular SL player. Holding a club to ransom, a club that has developed you over the last few years the guy is a disgrace and a hype job. Let him go now instead of serving his notice. If he wants to go to Bradford or Huddesfield Reserves good luck to him. There are 19 year olds performing in SL that are far superior to what he believes he is.

As for the rest who have refused to train because they want to move to Wigan, Not training because Rangi is on this and getting away with that. Your professional rugby players do your job to the best of your ability then may be a club may come in for you. Some of the players are showing a huge disrespect to the club and the supporters, I didn't agree with the Rangi signing but at the end of the day how many people bought shirts with his name on? How many people decided to get a season ticket on the back of the signing? He's the highest paid because of that!! And he showed in 5 minutes against London he can change a game. we need Derek to get back in his cave and stop threatening legal action every 5 minutes. We need a strong coach who can bring discipline to the rable not someone who needs to run off to DB when an issue arises.and we need some of them players to realise your championship players playing in some cases against semi pros, your not johnathan thurston!!!
