Aaah ---Greg thev poacher!!

the sniffer Clarke of rugby league!!

I would say it was Johhny Giles who provided the cultured play in that team

strange the brierley leaving rumours have stopped

He needs to bulk up- that will cost him speed- if he's not a kicker or an organiser what does that leave him with as he ages?

The beauty of RL is that it is a game for all whether you are an 18 stone barnstorming prop, a stocky hooker, a rangey second rower, a pocket rocket half back or as Brierley gave a great step, lightening pace off the mark and awareness of gaps. Whilst he will naturally bulk up through a full pre season he does not necessarily need to do so at the cost of losing pace. I think he is underrated at the moment - as an example the try he set up for Leroy at KR showed most of his best qualities and not least his awareness of support to pass to after first drawing the FB and being brave to suffer the inevitable hit as he delayed the pass.
Will only get better and for me a Brough/Brierley combo is dream halfback pairing.

Bulking up doesn't mean you lose speed... In fact, it could make him faster and more powerful.

So would i mate ,but it was Mick Jones who used to create havoc in the goalmouth and sniffer who was quick enough to snap up the chances.

Why does he need to bulk up, he will built up naturally, The trick is to retain the speed, There is no law says you have to be overweight and slow to play for Huddersfield. However as he is not a kicker or an organizer he can't be good enough for the Giants, Much better to stay with our pedestrian options.

dont think brierley needs to bulk up either

he may not do as thats his build anyway

sure he is used to being a target and being hit by bigger men

What do you mean be built up naturally- he isn't 17!!!!
All I'm saying is that just being quick isn't good enough- it wasn't good enough for Kevin penny first time round, it wasn't good enough for dale cardoza, Paul white or that skinny blond lad who came from aus who's name escapes me at the moment but was awful.
They get found out if all they have is pace. if stone is at all a decent coach then brierley should offer more than pace next season.

dont forget Luke George he was destined for a great career , he was a popular player with the Giants

Andrew frew!!!!!!!

He is a massive threat through the middle regarding support play and speed. Something not many teams have in SL, especially the speed.

Giants need to teach him how to be a better half. He's only 24 after all. Already a very good passer, too.
