There were several other Leigh players not selected either, would anyone like to know our views on those?

For people who are so interested I’d have thought they would have noticed that there is already a 7 page thread on this subject, nothing more than a very poor attempt to wind up.

Don't know about anyone else. I'm only interested in Brearley - for now.

Rested/dropped are pretty much the same thing worded differently so early into a season. Just means he wasn't picked for this weeks match. We have 3 halfbacks and 2 spots. The two we picked in week 1 went poorly so one of them missed out in week 2.

We have 3 good half backs and none of them should be undroppable. Certainly not to appease the media obsession with Brierley. We have cover in every position and if anyone in the side plays poorly they are in danger of being dropped/rested/rotated the following week. Ryan is no exception.

Why Jagger thinks that this needed a 2nd thread on top of the existing 7 page thread is beyond me. Clearly responding on every single thread on the forum isn't enough now and he feels the need to start his own in order to be the centre of attention

The question I have is why is someone closely connected to Leigh Centurions going on other boards linking Brierley with clubs

Please don't feed these trolls.

Yeah that would annoy me most if I was a Leigh fan. That Neil Barker bloke you hired is spending his time fanning the flames on other boards about Brierley.

Not when 95% of his posts are absolute drivel. What do you expect from folk.

If it came directly from you them that would be a complete different story

Says it all as far as i'm concerned

Flip in ek dick Jagger you start writing in English and you get slated better writing in your useless slang at least nobody knows what your on about

Maybe he didn't fit in with what the coach wanted to try this week. I really don't know what everyone is worrying about. At the end of the day if he leaves, he leaves. Players come and go. Yes it would be good to keep him and rumours of him leaving started long before our new signings arrived. If his agent and indeed Ryan keep responding to press questions then the rumors will continue. The press are being continually provided with information/rumour, some of which is confidential, for a reason. I think its time for some decisive action to put a stop to all this.

Can't win at the minute though can we. I guarantee if we had have dropped/rested Rangi instead of Ryan this week there would have been a dozen rumours started about how it was because Rowley/Jukesy didn't want to sign him in the 1st place, or he had gotten into trouble/fallen out with a team mate or Derek insisted Ryan HAD to play to stop him leaving for a SL club etc etc.

Everything we do at the minute is subjected to intense scrutiny and then wild speculation.

As an avid Leigh fan, I could not care less if a player is 'rested' or 'dropped' !
