Paul left the club because of the 'culture' that was beginning to evolve at the club, following the signings of certain players. Without the backing of his boss over how to eradicate this, he felt his position was untenable and left. Had the club been in great hands and all as well as it was last season, Ryan wouldn't have left, however he wants no part of the 2016 Leigh and I don't blame him.
Beaumont not only took a huge financial risk when he signed Chase, Hansen, Paterson, Maitua, Tonga etc but also an off-field risk. A lot of Leigh's current 17 were the reasons behind Salford's terrible off-field antics last season. If it pays off, great you've got Super League RL but so far you've lost a coach and your best player from 2015. Wonder boy Rangi is in rehab and nobody knows if/when he will be back.
Leigh deserve better, they came so close but in the end were so far from reaching Super League in 2016. Did they need such a huge overhaul? No.'"
Best player is your opinion!
You seem to be very knowledgeable about the 'goings on' at our club will Paul Rowley confirm he left because of the growing culture? or is he only going to tell you?
For my part, I'm delighted with the performances of the former Salford lads they have transformed our pack into a formidable Unit and, once we get a strong back line returning we be quite some team!(my opinion of course)
P.S. Are you Ryan's dad or, relative perhaps?

But if you think of the players in and out this close season, it's not the massive overhaul you would imagine.
We had to replace Wilkes, Aspinwall and Goulden, which brings Weston, Paterson and Hansen. All improvements imo. That leaves Maitua out of the ex-Salford forwards, and it's a matter of opinion on whether he's a better option than Haggerty or Sarsfield. Based on last season I would say yes.
Chase was always going to be the big gamble, but with biggest potential reward. Unfortunately our attack was awful for 5 1/2 games of the middle 8s last year.

You've hinted previously at this, presumably meaning the Salford lads. If Rowley was so opposed to them and thought they were bringing such a terrible 'culture' to the club I doubt he would have appointed Harrison Hansen and Cory Paterson as Vice Captains. Infact I seem to remember him singing the praises of the attitude and leadership qualities of those 2 players when the appointments were made which was not long before his departure.
I know you feel that they were an 'issue' at Salford but they seem to be settling in just fine here.

| So given it seems everyone knows where Rangi is but the Leigh club are still giving it the old cover up, is it plausible that they may also be lying over what has gone on with Brierley?

There have been a number of statements made by the club that have left me wondering what to believe, but am inclined to believe the club and Jukes' version of events on the Brierley saga.

Thank you. You beat me to it as that aspect immediately struck me.

Private and confidential ?
I sincerely doubt Neil Jukes was lying over Brierley. If you speak to any one, Neil Jukes is always referred to as a very honorable man.

Nope
Is it plausible Ryans statement was written by him?
Is it plausible that Ryans agent has not already got something sorted for Ryan?
Is it plausible to think that most of the tools have now vacated this board

Just wait and see like everyone else, us included. We don't know anything more than we did when you asked yesterday or the day before or the day before that.
I usually quite enjoy your contributions Robin as it is usually at least interesting and you come on here often, not just when there is a problem like a lot of your Fev friends.
But bloody hell, you are getting boring at the minute. If something new is announced I am sure it will be discussed on this board in detail. Until then, give it a rest eh? Or at least find some new material
