FWIW I am not looking forward to being up in the premier club tomorrow

Why? Has Mr Holland decided to go.

Best post I have read in a long time. Very sensible indeed. Leigh fans should, like any fan, defend their club. But not accept the words of the men in charge as gospel without questioning it too.

We Bulls fans swallowed enough of it in our problem times and it probably made things worse.

Not saying either party is right or wrong as I don't know enough about the situation but Leigh seems a million miles away from the team we visited on the opening day of last season.

I was hoping to take a drive over from sunny Bradford tomorrow but can't make it now

So most of you are choosing to bury your heads in the sand. Fair enough. What will you say when the next player leaves I wonder?

Agreed but they do have a choice, same as RB, who knows if it's something he feels so strongly about ethically or is it just that Chase is earning more than him?

It's apparent you're not a DB fan, however I still think we have a good chance of getting into SL. Just let the dust settle. there is one thing i will say,Is I don't want to be standing watching a Leigh team with about 900 speccies like we once did.. BTW - FWIW we all had to digest all the crap from other folk when we finished at bottom of the middle 8s. It seems to me he is trying to put this right, Those who don't like it, then it's tough. Keep off his back until all fails.

I am sure the truth lies somewhere in between what the club has said and what Ryan has said. If another player leaves then I will judge that case on its merits.

In this case, Brierley has been making all the right noises in public about wanting to stay with Leigh and get them into SL. But in private he has clearly wanted to engineer a move away from the club and the constant leaks regarding confidential information about him has been used to try and force the situation using the press to his and his agents advantage.

For all his talk about caring about the Leigh fans and his team mates he is walking out when we have no available cover for him, effectively leaving those fans and his team mates in the $hit.

He was given the Number 7 shirt and has played at 7 in 3 of our 4 matches so far this season. He isn't being pushed out, he was playing regular rugby in his chosen position on a wage that is surely one of the highest in the Championship.

Why are you so interested? players come and go. So what.

On that subject, what's happening with Barlow?

I wonder what Marcus Rashford thinks about Rooney being on about a quarter of million quid a week more than him?

I don't know for sure. Que sera sera

You mean false accusations.

These are your words

As an outsider looking in I've seen Beaumont act as a classless prat with a big mouth and an unprofessional attitude- demonstrated numerous times.

So there you go Jools Holland.

It is a torrent of opposition fans on here at the moment. Some gloating, some putting the boot in, some genuinely just curious. Even a few constructive comments (very few!).

It gets very tiring. Most have no interest at all until something like this comes up then can't wait to snipe and gloat.

No wonder everyone is getting defensive. This has been going on for weeks now and doesn't seem like it is ending any time soon. Hopefully some actual Rugby League tomorrow will give us something new to talk about like what actually happens on the pitch!
