If he'd played the first 6 games for us, we'd have been in a far better position.

CL, for me I would welcome Riddy back ,with a Red Carpet,I'm not sure it will happen though, I'd give it a go to bring Higson back as well, along with Brierley,they are Leythers after all.

Agree with all 3

Wouldn't matter who played them 1st 6 games all the team was terrible but yes I would have riddy back not only for his passing but his kicking game also

Good evening, Charles, hope you are well? Thought Brierley was a Salford supporting Keh's Yedder with a thistle on his change strip. But then not many have been as pure Leythe as that in recent times.

Maybe it was Jukes's fault both the players brought in to bolster us through the 8s last year got injured as well

Hindsight , marvellous thing

As I understand it , it was Riddy's fitness level upon returning after the off season that put him out of favour , was that Niels fault as well ?

You can all postulate about what should or shouldn't have happened , it gone , they've gone , we have who we have now

Brierley isn't a Leyther though, Cow Yed *Westhoughton* & a Salford fan.

Ste , I do know he isn't a born and bred, they are a dying breed.I also know his love of Salford, it's just I feel he has an infinity with Leigh,and maybe could be tempted to return, just my opinion obviously,but I think he along with Riddy could do a good job for us next season, given the chance .I realise this season isn't over yet, but realistically it's down to one game against Fev, I THINK,that's why I feel Derek should make his mind up as soon as poss,and we can start planning for next year.

Brierley is only good at one thing, chiming into the line, & timing *2 things* & pace *3 things* ......

Brierley is only good at 3 things .....


*but he is also a lightweight & a defensive turnstile just like Greg Mc*

I've watched a lot of him this season on Premier Sports, he can kick goals, and can pass a ball as well, and as he has been playing at 7 all season, his tackling hasn't been needed much.Would you have him back ?

We can't afford him....or anybody else for that matter. Nice one Derek.

I would Ian! He looked a very accomplished halfback, when Toronto played at Leigh. (as have a lot of halfbacks this season!) Let's face it, his 'limited' qualities listed earlier in this conversation, amount to more than those displayed by some who have graced our team in 2018!

I also strongly suspect that we only heard one side of the story when he left us!

Greetings Budge, my suggestion was aimed at next season ,if he was available, who knows what we will be able to afford then , or for that matter Ryan's wage demands,I'm ready to wait and see what occurs next year.

I think a few Leigh fans would have him back , it's all a matter of what occurs with Toronto,and their recruiting next season.
As far as Ryan's side of the story, I agree there.
