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.

"I'm not going to lie"

I'm losing more and more respect for this kid every time he opens his mouth lately. In my opinion, he's disrespecting every single person with true mental health issues by insinuating that he was suffering from depression and that the club did nothing to help him. He just had a bad couple of weeks for God's sake, of course he was going to feel a bit down - we all did.

Just shut up and play rugby Ryan, you have a lot to live up to and God help you if you think you've had a stressful time at Leigh - that will be nothing compared to the you'll have to endure if you don't produce at Huddersfield.

As Billy Shakespeare would say , " methinks the gentleman doth protest too much " , I'll give him the benifit of the gender reference

Time to stop talking and start playing

Well said Mish

He really does need to grow up. Considering the club has such a good track record with player welfare it does look like he's having a bit of a strop. Worth noting that all his stress & upset only came about after he stabbed the club in the back. "Considering I'm the only available half back at the moment I want more money or I'm leaving." "We'll see what we can do." "Not quick enough! EVERYONE, SKY, LISTEN! I'M LEAVING!!!" What sort of response was he expecting? A champagne reception while fans carried him round the LSV on their shoulders cheering his name? The unpleasantness of his departure is entirely of his own doing, he made it that way.

As for us knowing he loves us to pieces his actions have made it quite clear he doesn't. It's all about money & his ego. Bye bye Ryan, you won't be greatly missed.

............... and played the day after.
