The players we have let go over the years who have gone on to be successful elsewhere is astonishing. Brierley is another who is coached incorrectly.
For me he would have acted as a sweeper only, tackling after 1st line of defense has been broken, then in attack he should have been on the shoulder of both props for the offload with another pacey player at the other side of the props so the opposition were unsure which side we were going to unload.
Most successful sides keep unloading and moving the opposition around.
At the same time I can understand Brierley`s move, as he didn`t fit in with Stone`s type of game, which isn`t mine but I will respect the coaches style of play hoping that things will improve, as different styles of play can bring success.

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!
