Its not about second chances, its about whether a coach and the players would want him back should he want to come back. If they did and he did then we as fans support our club. Would Ryan be able to say ''I was wrong, external people got into my head and I acted like a tool. Jukesy didn't lie, I or named person leaked the story to Sky, I or named person told the cameraman where we would be in the stadium to get that shot. I have let the club, the fans and my fellow players and coaches down badly, and for that I am extremely sorry and intend to make up for the disruption by giving my all to get this club into SL''

IMO it is only a statement similar to the above that would create the pathway for a return.

You don't actually believe he should have been allowed in the club during his 'notice', legal or not?? I am currently on 'Garden leave' 6 months of it, it has caveats like not to contact staff, customers, go into depots etc Its pretty standard.

I'm with mo on this one. What on earth was all the cr5p for the last few weeks. He managed to get a statement out quick enough to brand the club and Jukesy in particular a liar whether he wrote that statement himself or not.

Also someone said above he was suspended because he handed his notice in. He was suspended pending the outcome of an investigation into persistent leaks of confidential information.

Just because he is good and scores 30 tries a season does not give him the right to do what he wants and not expect any consequences or even walk straight back into the team. If I was Jukesy I would struggle massively accepting him back.

Back 'in the day' it would be called 'handing in a transfer request'.....pretty standard also. But Ryan's situation has extra baggage with "lies/being greedy etc" Plenty football players have behaved a damn sight worse than Brierley, too many to mention !

The Watcher has been informed that Brierley will be going to Huddersfield, possibly on a loan deal, for the rest of the season. Leigh may well get an amount of money for him after all, as the condition in his contract is somewhat unclear. Our club did look into paying the player the extra he asked for however salary cap & too much water under the bridge has lead to him departing.

Mo as you rightly say, whatever decision the Club makes I will support that decision.But in respect of everything else for me they are just rumours, Sky trawl the crowd every game looking for interesting folk at the game, as they did with Rowls and the other Leigh player's, I have already said I believe Jukesy in his version on what went on , and as for the players ,I'm not privy to their opinions on the Ryan Brierley subject.I would hope they want to see him back, as they also want Sam Barlow , and Rangi back as soon as poss.
Again Ryan is not the first to want to leave , he won't be the last , how many times have Murphy, and Millward left?

Funnily enough that's what I suggested would happen to a few people at the weekend , the Giants need a HB , they supposedly inquired , Leigh could challenge the ' clause ' tying Ryan up till the end of the season , or cut a deal with Huddersfield

Good business if it happens

Ryan's played his last game for Leigh , his fault for ' confiding ' in untrustworthy person/people who tried to embarrass the club by telling SKY

Time to move on

Dead right

FRAWD DER, can't believe it's taken me this long to see it

Brilliant
