Ryan Brierley had a successful spell with Leigh in a league where most teams were being rolled up field by Leigh's middle, he had a field day out the back with all the tired defences and gaps created by his fellow players. One thing is certain the lad has pace & can finish as good as anyone in the game.

The problem he has is he thought he was dong it all himself and what fellow players know is he has issues with is being able to control a game from HB, he doesn't like collision, he is too scared, he passes too far away from the line getting his centre/back rower hammered and is easy to defend against because he is so predictable. His defence is awful at best with his constant "jumping" out of the line leaves his teammates vulnerable.

Ryan is a very selfish player (not always a bad thing) and believes his own hype too much and therefore is not a well liked player, I know he doesn't get on with Brough for a start and a lot of Leigh players were glad to see the back of him, he would have been dropped last year if he hadn't of been so close to Rowley & this in itself caused a lot of internal problems with his team mates.
Im led to believe Beaumont tried to offload him on numerous occasions specifically after Salford away last year in the middle 8's.

Drinkwater & Brierley are completely different in style and shouldn't be compared, if you want a game managing with a vocal HB calling the shots and kicking teams to death then Drinkwater is your man, if you want an out an out speedster to finish a break/offload created by someone else then Brierley is your man.

Huddersfield fans watch him closely and tell me if any of the above is incorrect.

well the great escape is complete!

dont want to see you again next season middle 8's

suppose it depends how the fixtures come about, ours were quite kind i feel

hull kr or salford will be the ones hoping to make the jump up again in 2017, london may improve again ahead of bradford
