Wherever Brierley goes there is drama, maybe Leeds have realised that after his release of confidential information at Leigh? Maybe Hetherington has had enough of the pantomime?

Brierley is training with Hudds at the minute.

If Brierley has a deal with Leeds for 2017 then it hasn't been agreed with the knowledge or permission of Leigh Centurions. So, seeing as it is still before the May deadline, either no such deal exists, or it is null and void anyway as it would be an illegal approach to a contracted player.

Still, it isn't like Brierley to leak different rumours left, right and centre

If true this is classic Darth Sleeve.

The club £45k better off and what exactly have we lost? A player we never had? Genius.

Would he be allowed to sign any sort of agreement with you though?

He was still under contract with Leigh till end of season and there was only an official approach from us. Us paying you £45k would be admission of an illegal approach would it not? Or would there be some pre contract agreement signed? Very odd.

The only way we can currently have a signed and sealed deal with Brierley is if Leigh allowed us permission to speak to him. Otherwise we'd have to wait til the deadline before any contract can be legitimate.

Does seem a bit strange all round really.

It needs to be wrapped up by whoever is signing him, it's getting boring. Sounds like people are throwing rumours around for the sake of it.

Perhaps Frosties can shed some light on this?

Is Ryan a bit of a wind up merchant do we think........
None of this makes a blind bit of sense. Hudds would just tell Leeds to love off!!!!

Who knows what it says in his contract? There will be allsorts of clauses written in it. Then throw into the mixer that agents leak stories and tell lies for their own good, then add that Derek Beaumont is a full weight Walter Mittey, and Brierley is stuck in the middle.

Has anybody else got bored of this Saga yet?

Yep. And while I am not particularly bother about signing breirley two things. He is either a pretty ty friend feeding frosties Bull stories, or he needs to be a bit more picky about his friends and not tell people who are going to post everything you tell them on forums and twitter
