It's all about money and ego. Sorry Ryan but your ability is not that to be a regular SL player. Holding a club to ransom, a club that has developed you over the last few years the guy is a disgrace and a hype job. Let him go now instead of serving his notice. If he wants to go to Bradford or Huddesfield Reserves good luck to him. There are 19 year olds performing in SL that are far superior to what he believes he is.

As for the rest who have refused to train because they want to move to Wigan, Not training because Rangi is on this and getting away with that. Your professional rugby players do your job to the best of your ability then may be a club may come in for you. Some of the players are showing a huge disrespect to the club and the supporters, I didn't agree with the Rangi signing but at the end of the day how many people bought shirts with his name on? How many people decided to get a season ticket on the back of the signing? He's the highest paid because of that!! And he showed in 5 minutes against London he can change a game. we need Derek to get back in his cave and stop threatening legal action every 5 minutes. We need a strong coach who can bring discipline to the rable not someone who needs to run off to DB when an issue arises.and we need some of them players to realise your championship players playing in some cases against semi pros, your not johnathan thurston!!!

Not knowing the ins and outs of what is happening at your club the one thing I do think you need is a strong coach who knows his own mind. Jukes may be the man but I think DB will have too much inluence over him, it starting to smell like the Leeds United scenario all over again.
Salford and Marwan have now realised you need to let your coach do his job, and your chairman/owner do his.

'Just swap him for Gaskell....' Lee Gaskell is happy at Bradford at the moment and I seriously doubt either Bradford Bulls are looking to offer him or Lee would be looking to join your circus. Feel sorry for the genuine Leigh fans that despite finding a rich owner to bankroll you, he's an embarrassment to your club in my opinion.

When good RL people like the Rowley's of this world no longer want to be involved with the club, this would raise alarm bells for me.

But that's what we do.
Regardless of the BS coming from our clubs, we believe it, we defend it against ridicule from fans of other clubs regardless of how ridiculous the situation is presented to us, and we continue to seek the positive.... simply because we don't want to contemplate any worse case scenarios.... those are the rules.
The sheeite Feisal Nahaboo trotted out was lapped up by almost all of us. We took it and defended the stuff thrown at us.... Predominantly from leigh and fax fans....
Leigh at the mo is pure comedy theatre from the outside looking in.
You couldn't write the script developing this week.

Nope, you're wrong on the wire bit. As a club if we're not renewing a contract, were happy to let players talk to other clubs before the deadline, Leigh were out of order dangling the very much needed deal for 2015 to higham and putting pressure on him to leave us in the without a fit first team hooker, and a senior squad leader.


That's when he and Smith started having problems. That's when Smith and Rowley started having problems as well. And iirc there was a typical and needless Derek style dig in the press release when he was transferred.

Anyone seen the tweet from Ryan's dad?

What is it?

Go on..... lol

Anyone seen the tweet from Ryan's agent! Embarrassing! Makes Derek's statements look like works of Shakespeare.

No wonder Ryan's contract is such a mess if the guy representing him doesn't have a command of the English language.

Basically inviting Leythers to wake up and smell the nescafe, and ask why so many players are not playing

Take a look on the Bulls Wikipedia page on the 2016 transfers section. Should bring a smile to all you Leigh fans

I would suggest he has got a great contract for his client [uIF[/u he has a clause in it saying he only needs to give 4 weeks notice before leaving.

Lets make one thing clear here, any issues be they personal,financial or proffessional of one player are of no concern to another, unless that player is playing' in front ' of them, they then would take up their concerns with the coach

Any player wanting to discuss contract issues ( bearing in mind they signed a fixxed term contract they were happy to honour ) should speak to the relevant person at the club, at Leigh that is Dereck Beaumont

Do you know that that process hasn't happened steve?

Some of the comments I am reading on here from Leigh fans are astounding. How have you all still got your heads firmly buried in the sand?

Of course it's all Ryan's fault, just as it was Rowleys fault for leaving too. Your club are continually lying to you, its supporters and you keep lapping it up.

Rangi having flu is the best one. The bloke has been checked into rehab, hence his exclusion last week and this weekend. He isn't the only who has been told to stay away from the club either.

From what I have seen of Leigh over the last few seasons, Ryan has been your stand out performer. Given absolutely everything to Leigh RLFC and has always ignored media speculation about his future and continued to put in big performances. Even with all this going on, he still put a big 80 mins in at Bradford last week and the reason for doing so, is because of each and every one of you (the fans) yet without knowing the full story, you've all turned on him.

Shame on you.

Someone on your Facebook page has suggested Kay and Beswick have been suspended, is that true? I've not seen it anywhere.

He knew all about the media speculation as it was probably his dad and his agent driving all the 'leaks'. The sky shots and leak on Thursday night were so orchesrated it was unbelievable. IMO of course

Just out of interest... Who is Brierleys agent?

Derek.

His Twitter name is very apt. "Show me the money".

Only what the club statement says, but i dont understand why the club would introduce Jukes unless he was involved, if Ryan had contacted Dereck direct the conversation would have lasted 1 minute and ended with " no "

I also dont see the benifit to the club of ostracising our only fit half back atm unless forced to

In truth I'd refuse to deal with or employ any player signed up to an agency with " Show me the money " as its name, Mr Cruise was a complete bell end in the movie, that tells us what we are dealing with

And when it came to the Middle 8's last season, he failed to deliver in epic style! The business owes Ryan Brierly nothing (apart from a bit of cash maybe) and he's just an employee who I would expect to give value for value. Now whether DB is back on the charlie or he's cutting costs in right places I think is up for debate right now. I'll go with the latter and expect the business to be in much better shape by the Middle 8's this year.
