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.

"there has been discussions, but that will be kept between me and the clubs in question."

No doubt having these discussions at the same time as saying how much he wanted to play for Leigh.

If there had been discussions then he is openly admitting to having illegal approaches. In other words he did not inform Leigh he had had discussions with other clubs.

The deal with Hudds was all above board. The deal he had agreed with Leeds (that never happened and definitely wasn't an illegal approach, honest!) maybe wasn't so straight forward...

Inappropriate comments to make in a public domain and he's making himself look more pathetic by the day. Have you ever known so much drama around one player and an average player at that, who owes Leigh a lot as far as I can see?

How many complete tackles did RB make in his time at Leigh and how many times did he take the defensive line on? I think the stats would be illuminating. Getting permanent game time in Super League could be hard for RB, unless Rowley is joining him with another big bag of cotton wool.

And before the comments roll in about the amazing memories and he's far from average, why has a top Super League club not signed this individual?

Meh!

I'm glad the saga is over.

I wish Ryan every success in the future (unless he is playing against us) and thank him for all his years at the club.

This story broke at the wrong time for us (if there ever is actually a right time, these days) and whereas it was difficult seeing the club put through the ringer all the time I think it has focussed the club more both on and off the field and galvanised the squad.

Probably a blessing in disguise - hopefully a high return capital one too.
