Jeez you guys are being put through it, obviously some person/people are pulling some ones wire on this and it really is getting beyond a joke.
If it was me I think I'd just be glad to see the back of him after the speculation of the last 12 months but with the other injuries it is really putting a strain on your squad. Hopefully you'll come out of it and finish one place below us in the top 4.

You'd better be finishing top then, Norman!

Haha, here's hoping but we need to get a roll on pretty soon.

Any time after next Sunday will be fine!

Bought my tickets for the game from Leigh today - in the East Stand. The tickets are numbered 0008 and 0009. I hope that isn't indicative of the level of Leigh support, or how heavily outnumbered I may be, in the 'posh' seats!

Seriously though, we've always enjoyed sitting in the East stand, with 'Fax fans - it's an excellent afternoon out - whoever is getting tonked!

I hope Ryan stays at Leigh till the end of his playing days. I think his agent is daft.

Re: Ryan... : Tue Mar 08, 2016 11:26 pm  

I don't, not anymore.. The Ryan Brierley side show has been a disruptive influence for the past couple of years. All the talk has been is he staying, is he going? My thoughts have always been is he any good , as good as some allude? We have better half backs at the club IMO. I think Ridyard / Reynolds will be as good as any half back combination in this division.Paterson is some unit to fill in at 6 as well. He bossed it against Bradford despite not being match fit. We all know Chase oozes class , when we can get him back on the field.

Ryan does however posses speed and some will say speed is everything and maybe you should find a place in your team for pace but not a half back for me.

Look Ryan , his agent or both tried it on IMO.They thought Leigh's current halfback crisis would give them leverage to negotiate a little extra. They got their fingers burnt and Ryans Leigh career is finished.

I think deep down Ryan never really wanted to leave Leigh this season. Thats the saddest part.

Re: Ryan... : Tue Mar 08, 2016 11:41 pm  

Well said Harold, I would be delighted if Ryan finished this season at Leigh, but 'burnt bridges' and all that. So we & Ryan move on, curious where he'll end up, just hope it's not a club we might play in the 'middle 8's' this season, that's assuming we qualify !

Obviously Ryan and his agent have discussed something,but that should be confidential between them both,so why has is agent said anything to Brett Ferres unless he is trying to instigate something.No reason to say anything otherwise.

What has rhinos' second row adulterer got to do with it?

It had just been in the news that Leigh had turned down two offers for Ryan- it's also known that he's OOC at the end of the season. Of course they have suggested they are interested!!!! conversations between agents and coaches happen all the time- I'm sure Leigh have had similar - perhaps even with this particular agent given his portfolio!
Don't be naive to think it isn't common practice!

You seem very protective of the agent in question? Do you share a scoop (or a glass of wine)with him?
