interesting we paid leigh 50k to bag brierley, think we have got near enough most of that back

when we signed brierley i thought he may be the long term replacement for brough, didnt work out that way!

full back didnt go too well and neither did half back with brough

would we have been better keeping brierley for the future and working with him and get rid of brough instead?

never worked well for scotland with brough and brierley either.... was brought the problem?

maybe brierley just wasnt good enough, maybe we will find out in years to come, can see why he would want to return to playing under his former coach and he will go down a storm in that league and the championship next season.

he actually had a great try to game ratio for us, 15 in 25 i think !

thanks for scoring those tries at hull kr ryan and helping to keep us in sl..... i suppose in that sense he was worth the punt!

Cheaky post on Totalrl web. 5 players the giants might consider to replace, Breirley or even Brough


Jamie Ellis, they suggest buying him out of his Loan deal
Cooper Cronk, yeh right
Johnathen Ford, doing ok at Toulouse,
Jarred Mullen, Newcastle Knights, Stone, alredy been linked with Giants, Drug trial due,
Richie Myler, Out of contract next year, young, clever.

??

quite clear from listening to brierley that his style of play just didnt fit for us, rick stone has his way of playing, brierley was starting to become unhappy with not playing too.

castleford and salfords style are working right now and i think this is the style that brierley thinks he fits into.

wigan play the same game as us , just better, they are the champions... so both styles of rugby work, not one is right and one is wrong.

So correct me if I'm wrong?
OURS is working ! Right?
Wrong!

Agree with that. admittedly we should have kept Hodgson, still can't believe we let him go. If we replace Brierley with a decent, solid creative half I'll be more than happy.

ours isnt working no, clear to see that!

but the style of play that we aim for is similar to wigans and they are the champions so it does work

it worked for us when we won the lls too

may not be as entertaining but proof it works when all the cogs work together correctly!
