Having watched ryan for several years at Leigh, he is not a creative player to drive a team around the pitch.
He is an excellent finisher, knows how to back up and get to the line with bags of pace. But creative half back he is not.
In retrospect, at Championship level, he was devasting, but at SL level, Leigh with brierley were a bit 1 dimensional and SL teams knew how to play us and neutralise him.
Brierley has talent but he needs a team that can play to his strengths. Judging from yesterday's game, Huddersfield aren't that team but then again you seem to have a few challenges Anyway and if you can fix those maybe ryan will flourish for you.
Huddersfield seem to have a tough conundrum- interesting to see what Stome can do about it.

Well we were a cracking side last season, weren't we !.

It's got nothing to do with Thewlis or deals. It's to do with RFL rules on loans- but hey don't let that stop you peddling the incorrect rumours...

The biggest problem here is the number of low quality players and lack of stand up leader and pack leader.

Daniel Smith whoever gave him a long contract he never made much yardage or even a break yesterday again.

Sam Rapira should have stood up and led yesterday did anyone see the 'ticking off' Robbo gave him ?

Nathan Mason constantly stopped and driven back when in possession.

Olly Roberts his try apart too often hiding out wide no hard yards again.

Aron Murphy took over Jerrys jumping out the line mantle but as another poster said why move him to the wing when Mellor was actually doing well in the second row?

Have we really given Jared Simpson a new contract too easily 'scragged' and dropped a relatively easy cross kick that led to the pressure for the final try?

Tyler Dickinson looked out of place these lads should have shone yesterday but seem to have caught the malaise from the 1st team too.

Is Jamie Ellis the answer 'nope' might have made a difference yesterday but not a superleague player long term and he's had enough goes at it.

Rick Stone NRL or Superleague coach ?? Not a chance I'm afraid mediocrity abounds !!

I totally agree, Because we have hit bottom as a team and Brough is not at his usual standard, Why would we even consider getting someone back who we let go as not being good enough. Ah yes we have a history to live up to .

what is masons injury?? looked bad

dickinson, didnt even notice he was on the pitch, when i did i thought he had just come on, looks too small and stocky for super league
