I'm not sure how relevant it is or whether it adds any substance to the debate, but last season at Salford when we played them in the middle 8s' we walked down behind Brierley and Rowley, I'm not suggesting for one minute that they were there for anything other than the game itself, my point being that they looked like they were quite happy with each others company and looked the best of mates which could maybe go some way towards the rumour being true, Rowley needs to come to Wakey and as the assistant coach and take over from Smithy at the end of the season, and if he wants bring his mate with him

Stranger things have happened mate.....

Brierly going to any of the clubs Leigh will face in the middle 8s would be a terrible kick in the teeth for their fans. I doubt Brierly would do that. If I were him - as long as Rowley wasn't treated badly, I would stay at Leigh and help them get promotion if I had one year left before leaving. If it turns out that Rowley has been badly done to by that nice uncle Derrick then he may also walk.
I think Brierly is a decent player but not a play maker. A quick poacher but we need a good old fasioned scrum half not another Gaskell - unless Gaskell is due to leave in 9 month time.

Well said Woolly that's how I feel,at the moment I have heard 2 totally different rumours about why Paul resigned, but that's all they are rumours,I believe and hope Ryan Brierley will stay at Leigh for this season at least and continue to do his best.Keep Smiling,Charlie.

There's an even stronger 'rumour' that all the talk of Leeds was by Ryan's agent, and that Leeds weren't/aren't interested at all.

Much as there were strong rumours that Tom Armstrong was leaving to go to a SL team in the close season. His agent too looks to have let him down and he is back in the fold at Leigh.

By the way, personally I am yet to be convinced (and would be delighted for that to happen) that either of them is yet a SL-quality player.

Alan some clown on the Leeds forum started this rumour last year and I think he convinced himself. Treat with a very large pinch of salt

Not this time, normally I DO hear what has occurred in various incidents,but as with everyone else,I'm in the dark and I don't listen to rumours.

Charlie, we all know you don't listen to rumours! Charlie just [iknows[/i....

Doubt Ryan is going anywhere. It's a terrible article & I expected better from League express, the fact he COULD leave if he wanted to covered in so much sensationalised bull. Don't think he'd go to another Championship club, would be a backwards or at best sideways move. Don't think he's good enough for a top SL team, if he signs for Leeds he's actually signing for Featherstone as that's where he'll be playing, same with any of those top clubs. Question is would he take a place at a lower SL team? He's only got 1 year left on his contract at Leigh & we're hoping to become one of those lower SL teams, so again could be a step forward today but a step back long term. Think He'll see out his contract then consider his options at the end of the year.

That's what I like,a bit of confidence,myself I hate losing at anything,and will be trying my best to win not only this Comp, but the Fax Fantasy Comp which I won last year, but I do admire your stance FA.
