Quote: simonsays "Let's hope the 4 1/2 year contract is justified. He has never played Super League so it will take time to adjust.
What about Simpson ? One of our own, I had high hopes of him at full back. Seems Grix exit at end of season will please all his critics. Tansey and Foster surplus to requirements , Has Anderson got a plan or being told by the CO who he can have.???'"
You have a point about the length of contract, but life is full of risks and gambles. The other side of the argument is that not one single player was born a top class or quality player, They were given the chance to prove they were, by showing great promise at a lower level. The other way to do it is to buy ready made class like Brough , and we all know what that costs.
I don't think Brierley will have come cheap by any means, but I am so glad that some body has finally come out and admitted that we were desperate for a player of his style. Whether he is a great success we will have to see, He has proved his try scoring ability a level down from SL, I am really hopeful he will just kick on in SL, It has certainly kindled a bit more interest from me in any event.
