| I know squads need strength in depth, but I can't say I'm particularly bothered whether Brierley comes back this season or not. Especially if it's to be another loan deal.
We've just scored 90 in two weeks, and I hope we don't revert back to McNally on the wing to accommodate three half backs.

This, have to say I don’t really get it. Don’t get me wrong, quality at this level but is he really needed. I don’t really think as a club we are in a position for a bash at SL next season so why the outlay

Agreed yesterday McNally prevented at least two tries by getting his body under the potential try scorer, we are far better balanced both in attack and defence with him at FB.

Cmon Harold, Scott Murrell ahead of Ryan B ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](images/smilies//icon_eek.gif) .Murrell couldn’t cover 100 yards on a motorbike.

| It is about effectiveness as an half back, directing play and moving the team around the park. Murell does it week in week out. Ryan? whilst it pains me to say it, can't fulfill that role for toffee.
No not for me Charlie.

Harold can half of the players u mention sniff a try out like brierley or go 60yards to finish off a half break,don't get me wrong he can't control a game like Murrell but we'd have riddy or woods to do that and I personally think brierleys game has improved hell of a lot from the last time he played for us and hes definitely improved his defence

Fair point Harold. (welcome back, by the way)
However, if you are looking for a half back, to back up a chance created by any of your fifteen, I would back Ryan against any of them. For me, it's all about horses for courses, (Charlie would know all about that kind of thing) and pace is one of the attributes we don't possess a lot of. While we had Ryan on loan, John Duffy was utilising him the way he was used in the 'early days'. I would think we would have to find a place for him - although not at the expense of Gregg, Josh or Riddy!

You just beat me to it there, 'kaykie'! I seem to remember Ryan looking pretty creative, when Toronto took us apart early in 2018! ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

Harold,I respect your opinion even though I don’t agree,John Woods was THE finest rugby player I have ever seen , but he didn’t move any of his teams round the park or direct play, neither did Shaun Edwards, he relied a lot on my owd mate Andy Greg to do that,as Riddy did with Ryan, I have already said young Josh Woods is not our player he’s a Wigan player.
Ryan has the X factor at times even he doesn’t know what he is going to do.Watch this years Bash when he scores under the posts, where he makes his run from.The best support player I ever saw was Terry Lamb from Canterbury, a support Legend,Ryan isn’t in his class but in this League, I’d pick him every time.
Again just my opinion. ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)
