Anyone else read in The Sun newspaper today that they "are keen" on Ryan? Obviously it's gonna be rubbished off but just thought it might be worth bringing up.

He's high profile outsie of SL,scoring for fun and in the scheme of things would be relatively cheap,the days of massive transfer fees, apart from the odd one are gone.I'm not surprised more teams are linked with Kes but hopefully he will realize its better to stay playing regularly at Leigh within what seems a camp with a great team spirit and possible glory at the end of the season.

Whatever happens I wish the lad well and hope he stays at Leigh but can fully understand if he goes to a bigger club in the future.

Wants to play for us or Salford can't see it happening

Ollie stop reading the right wing trashy Tory party broadsheet. You are better than that.

Francis , I read the Sun

and im NO Tory or Right Wing , if young Ryan goes anywhere and I hope he doesn't , the Club in question will have to pay us a decent transfer fee .

I am really impressed with Watkins, now that its out will the Sun report it

Okay Frank from now on I'll stick to old reliable Internet

I'm a neutral ,went to the game on Sunday at Dewsbury for what its worth I'll give you my opinion of Brierly, watched him from his days at cas, as a footballer always rated him but he's in my opinion a bit iffy, at Leigh he's playing behind a big aggressive pack put him behind a beaten set of forwards ' and you'd see the same weaknesses I've seen since he were a junior , never saw him in the first half when Dewsbury were well on top, it was only in the second half when 13 against 12 gave your pack dominance that the lad came into prominence, expect the cavalry to come to his aid but I think what I'm saying is what I've seen since the lad played academy

Yes you are probably right when the forwards are unable to "shield" the half's or backs from opposition forwards you don't notice them around to much . Isn't that the same of any half or back in any team where the forwards are unable to create the room for the little guys, and no i wasn't being sarcastic for a change.

The point I'm making is in my opinion all the puplicity young brielys getting at the moment is down entirely to the fact he's playing behind a dominant set of forwards, I agree halfbacks can play if their pack is on top,but the top half make things happen under any conditions ,not trying to undermine the lads ability I've said I rate the kids football skills but having seen the lad since academy days I question his toughness

He is pure class
He will pay super league one day
I hope it for Leigh

Personally I think Leeds have 'leaked' this to unsettle our lads before we play them. If that's the case they need to employ a new press man because it's a bit of an amateurish attempt.

Is it 'unnamed sources say...'? If so, then it's a made up story, pure speculation.

haha why is that ? Afraid of you turning us over ? ? get real FFS you will get taken apart before we get into second gear !! comedy gold on this forum

Take it you're not a Batley fan this week?

Did I say any different? After all you are THE team to beat and with your team of full time professional players versus our lowly part time players I'd expect you to put at least 80 past us - and if you don't you're crap.



That doesn't stop your lot trying to unsettle our players.

I'll tell you what though; regardless of how much your players are on compared to ours, our lads will spill blood, sweat and tears on that field and that is good enough for me.

I never saw Shaun Edwards look a world beater against Australia or woody for that matter both great halves though
McGuire looked garbage against them also

We'll have Leeds in the cup - we don't know how to lose - and that'll make it easy for Ryan to reject any advances.

Wish I could get an advance but being on a fixed income it's doubtfull.

Not easy being 37.

Its all about opinions,fair enough.

But i don't know how you can claimed to have watched the Dewsbury game,then question his toughness!

Can someone give me an example on when one halfback has been prominent behind a beaten pack ?

I for one think he is not ready for SL, BUT if Leeeds or whoever wants him and the price is right, let him go. It aint the end of the world !

Ryan's ours the fans love him and that lad puts his body on the line for this club every time he goes out on the field. It's the job of the forwards to protect him and they are doing a good job, why are people so critical of success.

He,s brilliant makes try's scores try's and a great fella .....

BTW it's the 43rd anniversary of Leigh beating Leeds in the CC final today.

Rowley said we played a containment game against the gale, I don't believe we can play that way btw, so how prominent would Ryan have been especially on that tight pitch and a short ten
