Yeah he was touted as the the real deal back end of last season wasn't he. What's that other half back from Humberside called? Not sure wether he is at FC or KR. Might be just 18 or younger.

Brierley has signed for Leigh on a months loan to start with.

I guess uncle Derek has found his chequebook again.

I’m not sure what he’s on, but now been told the loan is till the end of the Season.We really need his pace though.

I wonder if he has an "Uncle Dezza" clause in his contract, stating that if he doesn't rip up the aforementioned contract when demanded by Derek, then he will be held completely responsible for the insolvency of the club?

Genuine question please Charlie: How do you think the players who have signed this year were explained the bullying shenanigans to shed highly paid (if underperforming) players from last year?

I'm certainly no rugby player, but in my line of work, I would think twice about joining a company where the firm could get rid of me, and blame me for it because they gave me a big contract.

Is Deggsy still at the helm then? I thought he was handing the club over?

That surprises me. I’m more interested in how the Leigh fans will react to him returning. Wasn’t he pretty much cast out as a Judas after jumping ship with Rowley to Toronto and playing games over contracts to earn more money?

Maybe I’m wrong but it would seem a bit like us resigning kopczak

He didn't leave Leigh to go to Toronto. Sure it may have been because Rowley had left, but it was Huddersfield that signed Ryan from Leigh. Then Toronto took him from the Giants.


Back on the subject of Brambani, didn't he spend time in Bradford's academy in his younger days? Very underrated player in my opinion, but I'd be surprised if Batley wanted him to leave, especially until Yates is back fit again and they can utilise the DR option on Oliver Russell more.

Yes he did. Then he went to Cas and made his SL debut with them.
As a friend of Dom's, and I know there's a good few of us on here then I'm sure I speak for us all. I'd love to see him in a Bulls jersey.

Always rated Brambani. Not that I've seen that much of him but he's always put in a good stint against us, a bit like Paul Sykes.....

He'll be 34 in May. A couple of years a go I think he'd have been perfect. I would imagine he's a well paid P/T player so not sure if it's the right signing now.

I dunno, I think we suffer by not having a few more older heads in the side

As a player Dom would be ideal for a season or two, but there's no chance he would go back to full time. He has a great relationship with John Kear, but having your key player part time when many of the squad are f/t probably isn't the way to go. I think at the moment the club is happy to develop young players and build for a tilt at promotion in a couple of seasons time.
