| There is no doubt young Ryan is an exciting player, possessing plenty of flair, has bags of pace and full of promise. He has been a great acquisition to our squad and we are lucky to have his talent at our disposal but where do you play Ryan Brierley to make him most effective??

No 'it begs the question' when 90% of the squad are carrying injuries who do you play and where.

| Blaming it on injuries and paper thin squads every year gets a bit tedious. Don't see any of the others conplaining about it. I am sure they suffer as many injuries as us. Maybe they just have better rehab methods than us. Or maybe we are just unlucky.
Getting to the playoffs has not generated the same excitement for me as previous years. Possibly downto the fafact we have one win In 6 leading up to them

| Quote: cryer64 "People moaning about the scrum half business, regardless of there squad numbers riddy is our scrum half, ryan is our stand off. Riddy is the general. Ryan does what riddy says. A bit like sinfield and mcguire, briers and myler. But yet alls ive seen is people slagging off our brightest young talent in ryan. Surely we cant make him a scapegoat?? He got us to the nrc final on one leg and won us the final on one leg also, 25 tries in a season where he missed 6 games and people say hes not been at the races, hes invisible?? Jesus. Spoke to riddy after the game and he said ryan is in for an operation. So before you slag any of our players off appreciate what they have done this season.'"
He was invisible on Sunday. Fact. Injured or not, he didn't impact the game a scrum half should.

| He is the most exciting player but even those have off days. He was obviously having one of them on Sunday yet some fans are in denial, refuse to accept it and anyone who happens to mention it gets the usual garbage thrown at them.

I know who your most influential player is by a mile Ridyard.
Brierley is in the Thackery (Fax) or a Kain (Featherstone) mould....someone who is great in broken play and in a bit of space and scores a lot of tries....if you asked them to control a game, take a team round the park, organise, kick opposition to death neither of them can come up with that......
If Ridyard does not play in the current team you would be rudderless.....

| Oh I would agree with that but Brierley when fully fit is great to watch.
Just to repeat he took a bad knock in the first half and consequently was not his usual self.

I agree completely about young Riddy, I have also used the term 'rudderless' to describe Leigh without him.
It is difficult to challenge anything said above hence my recent post on another thread about where to play Brierley to make him most effective.

What as fans are we in Denial about ?Ryan being an exciting player ?I agree there .Ryan having an off day on Sunday ?Granted he was quiet , but again if he was injured probably the reason speaks for itself .And what pray tell is the "Usual Garbage ", that you say is thrown ?It seems to me anyone who doesn't agree with you or has the same opinions is Talking garbage As ive said before my Garbage is just as good as your Garbage , Charlie knows .

I haven't read one post that says that Ryan had a great game. What I have seen is people defending his overall contribution to our team this year. That's not denial.
He is key to our success next year in my view.

| Alls im trying to get across is the fact hes had 1 poor game all year and has been ripped to pieces on here, not even mentioning he was playing on one leg and turned down a super league offer half way through the year to stay with us. Hes 21 years old he is going to have bad games its all part of his learning. I wouldnt swap our half backs for any other half backs in the league not a chance but as soon as we lose a game its always ryan and riddys fault. We scored 3 tries to batleys one!

Give it a rest, Cryer!!
Ripped to pieces on here - absolute b****x! Some people have commented he was quiet or even invisible on Sunday. Well, IMO invisible is a bit harsh, but quiet he most certainly was.
Are you his mam?

Putting aside the exaggeration, Long John Silver he wasn't, you are being over defensive. He had a poor game, which he is entitled to have, probably because the coach chose to select an unfit player. Your defence of your obvious favourite is becoming close to sick bag time.
