Well my view is this could actually prove to be a master stroke. Ridyard aside, there is no 'rugby brain' in the aforementioned list of current Leigh half backs.

Just my opinion.

Your opinion is spot on Harold ! It would be a gamble to leave Riddy out for any of the others however if he needs to recover from niggles then Brierley would be my choice, on pace only ! Don’t always agree with Dave Parkinson MOM however in his Rugby League Express match report he gave Riddy MOM following a ‘Masterclass’ display !

My first choice come playoff times for the halfback is Riddy and Brown. Don’t think numbers are important as they are both smart enough to work out who does what and when, and they would both back defences up with their skillsets. Also give us a real threat on the last tackle with their tactical kicking. Brierly for me is on the wing with Riddy and Brown fit.
For this weekend I would go as follows.
1.Mcnally.
2.Higson.
3.Sau
4.I Thorniley.
5.Brierly
6.Brown
7.Woods (Reynolds if woods not 100%)
8.Douglas.
9.Higham.
10.Clark.
11.Thompson.
12.Patterson.
13.Cator.

14.Hood.
15.Emmitt.
16.Brooks.
17. Either Adamson

Toby Adamson would play before Thompson every time for me ! Mitch Clark would also play from the bench ! Both Clark and Thompson have their fair share of ‘ loose carry’s ‘ and they need to remove that from their game before the play offs when possession will be vital !
To be fair however, the entire team have squandered possession cheaply this season !

Kevin Brown is an excellent signing for this stage if the season. He's played in a World Cup Final against Australia which they only won 6 - 0. He knows all about high pressure games. His experience will be invaluable. Even if he doesn't play many minutes, his knowledge and experience can only be good for the team. Well done DB for bringing KB in. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that I wouldn't be surprised if we spoil the Toronto or Toulouse party.

The reason for not playing Sunday is?

Not yet match fit ??
Not used to our plays?? Which is quite important for a half

How the fish does one get match fit without playing?

A quality half dictates the plays,do they not!

Complete farce the whole scenario is. Send him back to Wire.

That will fook wire up.

The lad is a class above this level - could make a difference when it matters, what do we have to lose

Why would you do that, his mere presence will make the half's we already have perform better and that includes Ridyard, he gives the coach another selection possibillity, I'm dissapointed that he is not on the bench tomorrow to few games left to sort out the best combination at 6 & 7, Duffy gets it's right and who knows what we can achieve.

Those who are not delighted with the acquisition of Kevin Brown, must be on ....Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds!

Did anyone see him in conversation with Brian Carney on Sky last night. Discussing Jackson Hastings replacement at Salford. Did I see knowing smiles between them. Suspicions aroused.
