I'm not into bagging Ryan brierley.
Ben Reynolds seems to be more of a classic scrum half who may be is what we need to drive a team forward.
Ryan scored lots of tries and is very talented, but perhaps a bit one dimensional and maybe that's part of what cost us in the pay offs...once SL teams worked out our attacking there were fewer other options.
This year we seem more balanced with a few more play makers around too.
That all said ryan has a new opportunity to grow. Could be good for him.

Good luck Ryan -and thanks!

It takes a few weeks to radically change how you attack, we are now starting to play to a different structure that utilises the personnel we now have, throw in the genius that is chase and we will be a different proposition in the 8's this year

I have just heard news of an illegal approach on our young star player Ben Reynolds, Golborne Parkside & Atherton Dragons are thought to be at war for his signature.

Seriously, RB has gone now but we potentially have a future England International in young Ben Reynolds, & before the neigh sayers arrive, CHRIS HILL, don't say I didn't tell you so.

Sorry to see Brierley go but as someone said similarly above, we'll be probably playing with more options now.

Also the club should take great credit for bringing in the players they have recently.

Good luck to Jukesy and the team.

I hope you're right. I heard Trent Robinson say "months" so I'll take a few weeks.

It's a bold claim.
Haven't been able to see Ben Reynolds play yet. Looks good though on LCTV

The last few weeks leave a sour taste re Ryan,but I wish him all the best.we move onward and upwards .Ben Reynolds is the real deal!

He could have been a Leigh legend and all he needed to do was what he said he would, play this season as well as he has played & every Leigh fan would have wished him all the best if he chose to move on. Instead he's gone under a massive black cloud entirely of his own creation. Was a fantastic player for us on the pitch but it turns out constantly trying to undermine the club leaking info to the press & stabbed the club that made him the player he is in the back. Maybe he'll do well maybe he's all hype, the way he's acted I don't really care. Bye bye Ryan, we'll miss your trys but we won't miss your constant bulls**ting to the press. Bye bye

The January storm is almost over, the days will soon be long and warm

Amazed at this fellows ego:

“I met Neil Jukes and he apologised for the way things ended up and hoped we could move on with no grudges. I understand why he has done the things he’s done and we’ve all got to get on with our jobs now because we’re all professionals."

Lie detector time again?

Well rid of him

Ryan..............The deal is done!!!! You can stop now.
