It doesn't have to be that black and white - if there is a get out clause then there is sometimes an associated fee. In that situation, the contract, despite not giving us the option to veto a move to SL for Ryan, would give us a guaranteed return if he does go.

You must admit this would be far better than seeing him go to SL with another club and Leigh seeing nothing in return.

Also, I don't think it's fair to be asking about a players contract. That contract is between Ryan and the club and we do not have the right to know its contents.

thanks for the reply Michael. Also, regarding his contract it was well known that he had one in his last one so feel I've asked nothing wrong at all there.

Can we not just celebrate that a great talent like Ryan has signed an extension to his contract therefor showing his faith in the club, like MW said what is or isnt in the contract is and should be private, come on feel the good vibes leave the bad one's for the stay aways 'Mick Higgins nearly ran over my cat' brigade.

LIke i said im very very happy that Ryans staying. With him being a fans favorite it will only help crowds. I agree though Fred, things are feeling amazing around the club at the moment.

The new contract is his business and the clubs managements, however he loves it at Leigh, so unless something comes along thats too good to turn down then hes staying with us for two more years, and Im sure we have made sure if he does eventually go,if under contract, we get a decent pay out for him.
I just hope he manages to play for us in SL like Chris Hill.

Chris didn't play in SL with us?

He made his senior debut for Leigh in 2005 in the 74-8 loss to Saints.

Im sure he made his Debut in our only SL season .

What position does Brierley play? If he continues to impress there will be loads of SL clubs at the door, including the Red Devils.

He's a very slow winger Red

Chris did make his first appearance in super league , against saints as Michael says

And re SL clause. Watch LCTV and see if it matters after seeing the interviews with Andy, Ryan and Paul. Ryan has committed to us instead of going to a SL team right now that offered him a deal. If a golden goose drops a huge egg too good to ignore, who are we to deny him the chance of a life time. Ryan has shown his loyalty to Leigh and the fans.

I heard Paul Rowley sees him as a 6.

Irrelevant to Mr K - Ryan's under 35.

That's my view as well Mr C, why wouldn't a young player with ambition not insist on SL clause?

As PR rightly says in his interview on LCTV,
" deny a player a SL clause and .................."
Nah, sign up to LCTV and see the full 10 mins of the interview with Andy M, Ryan and Paul"
I watched it at 01:00 in the morning my time and was so excited after I couldn't bloody sleep. 49 years old and I felt like a kid at Christmas. Run em ragged on Saturday and for years to come Ryan. You've made and old man very happy mate, and an even older man (my 77 year old Dad) believe he will see Leigh in the top flight again. Something he didn't think he would see again until the last few weeks.

Dads army Red Devils!!!

You can't put a price on experience!!

Any truth in the rumour that your main shirt sponsors next season are SAGA? I've also heard the kits are being made by Greenwoods!!

Just watched and listened to it.

As a Leyther I cannot tell you how proud I am and how glad I am that I am a Leyther

Fantastic news.
A brilliant boost in Cup final week.

If that be so then I stand corrected Michael and apologise to Lynda.

Delighted and very nicely surprised by this news. Ryan is a fantastic player and has that certain 'something' that has everybody on their toes as soon as he gets the ball. Very very happy with this news! Couldn't hope for bigger or better news before a final. Well done to Ryan, PR the BOM and everyone else involved in this deal. Lets start his new contract off with a trophy on Saturday!!

Takes a BIG man Fred

.

I did ask if Ryan could mention LISA for sponsering him on his interview it must have been forgotten, would have been nice though.

I know all my shirts are getting too small, it's all them pies since we twinned with wigggggin.
