I’m happy with the signing, he is a class player, I’m glad the signing deadline was Friday though,we may have tried to sign Ainscough,and Gleason from Rochdale.Ive just seen Charlie Hurley in Morrisons.

Was he not de-registered by Wire due to his injury, as such not able to play for them again this season

I don’t know perhaps someone can enlighten us on that ?

If we sign enough 'play makers' to create chances, we might then be able to utilise Brierley to do what he does best - finish them off! Not sure where we select him though.....

Perhaps play Ryan Brierley on left wing??

Positive move for me.
-He’s an international halfback who would be guiding one of the best teams in the country around if he hadnt been injured. Fans have been crying out for a class halfback. Here he is.
-Fans have been crying out for some competition at halfback. Well we certainly have that now.
-He will have come at what I believe will be minimal cost.
-Fans have criticized some folk of the in game kick options taken by certain halfbacks. Brown will be a big threat ball in hand on the fifth tackle.
-if he wasn’t generally fit to play he wouldn’t be here. Read the press release. He says he’s fit, Warrington wouldn’t risk him if he wasn’t fit, and Leigh wouldn’t bring him if he wasn’t fit. True ‘match’ fitness will come quickly to a man of his experience and quality.
-come playoff time would you prefer him playing for us or against us. If he wasn’t here he would have likely gone some where else and be facing us in the playoffs.
Bottom line, positive move for a SL proven halfback, with enough time for him to be a real threat come playoff time. All at minimal cost.

Well said VL !

Beltin post VL.

Well VL let’s hope you optimism/ confidence that Brown will be the Conductor we Apparently require ?
If your the coach on Sunday who do you select from our four halfbacks (Woods fitness unknown) bear in mind Widnes and York are two vital games and your halfbacks are expected to play the entire 80 minutes?

Well Kirky, plenty of theories and opinions of our best 17 for Sunday’s game against Widnes, here are my 17 if they are fit.

1.Mcnally.
2.Higson.
3.Brierley.
4.I Thorniley.
5.Sau.
6.Reynolds.
7.Brown.
8.Douglas.
9.Higham.
10.Clark.
11.Thompson.
12.Patterson.
13.Cator.

14.Hood.
15.Emmitt.
16.Brooks.
17.Either of the Adamsons.

Brierley a contentious choice,at centre but for me I would have him running off Browns passes.

Brown has had reassurance he will play and is a structured HB for this reason Riddy would not complement him.

Question is who would?

Not sure! Technically they are all playmakers. I would say the pace needs to come from PTB now so probably Brierley given his pace.

I think Brown has come in to assist with the game management, he can play on both edges so we can get away with brierly as the other half
