Big game for Ryan tonight - will he be anonymous or able to mix it with the best? Even though it might hasten his departure I am hoping for the latter!

All the brierley 'hype' is exactly that - Hype.
He would be completely out of his depth in SL as a half back. He was anonymous the entire game if there ever was a 'queue' of clubs eyeing him up, that queue would have diminished considerably with what he offered tonight, even against a weakened Leeds side who were way off the level they were playing at.
its easy to stand out in a team dominating the championship winning by 50 most weeks, but if he was playing for a whitehaven or a keighley he would be as anonymous as he was tonight week in week out.
there were many more players in your side that are more equipped to step up to SL than brierley.
i think he will be seeing out his contract at Leigh.
as for the game your team did you proud and were a credit to your club, and the championship and your fans contributed to a great atmosphere.

'weakened Leeds side' ? 'out of his depth' ? jog on b*ll*nd "

Your having a Giraffe. That was a FULL strength Leeds team that was LUCKY to get away with a win. Im sorry if this upsets you but you are coming across as a plastic wiggin fan who only see's one side in a game, ;(

I'm a neutral, I don't think Brierley did much tonight.
Now Armstrong ... he was special as were many others.

Yes Brierley was quiet tonight, it's in his new contract not to impress to much when we play SL teams. The one and only goal for Leigh this year is to finish 1st or 2nd. To do it because of a super star will diminish the efforts of the whole team....................................................Yes Ryan is good, but the team is better still

I think it's time that Paul Rowley pulls the plug on Ryan being interviewed as its not fair on him as he gets asked all the time about other clubs interests in him.
Also not fair on Paul and the rest of the team
Ryan can help too by not mentioning Salford every time he's interviewed about it .
It's time this matter was dropped till the end of the season at least

The matter will only be dropped when Brierley stops talking about it.

Then surely the club should ask him politely to cease and desist. I actually think it is a little disrespectful to the club and team mates who he has signed for for the next 2 years. But that's only my opinion.

I think it's a case of the lad being [itoo[/i honest if anything. He's got a contract and there's no faulting his commitment on the field so that's good enough for me.

There's not I agree but it's getting a bit much now time for it to stop .
It's all about this season not next

It's obvious that the lad wants to play for a SL team at the end of the season and good luck to the lad if he makes it. Personally, I don't think he is good enough for SL. He needs to realise that he is getting the plaudits because of an awesome pack of forwards. They are the true stars. They beat the Leeds pack last night. Without that pack in front of him he wouldn't be getting this interest in him. If he wants to go then I would let him go. I want players who want to get Leigh into SL and to play for Leigh in SL. He really needs to stop tweeting about it. The club is much much bigger than one player and I would rather have that pack of forwards than Brierley. We can always get an experienced half back but the commitment of those forwards for each other would be hard to replace. They were absolutely fantastic last night.

If Ryan wants to go to Salford theres nowt we can do about it , contracts mean nowt these days , I think the BOM would get the best possible deal for Leigh Centurions if he was to leave , for me Ryan is CLASS , but NO player is bigger than the Club or Team , and I don't think for one second Ryan thinks this way , he has Leigh Centurions best interests at heart for now and will continue to give his all for the team whatever happens in the future .

....but will the team give their all for him given his very public feelings of apparently wanting to leave.

Get Liam Kay signed up and play him at half back.

Derek , I don't see a problem with team spirit , especially at the moment , young Ryan is like a precious gem for the Club and must be looked after, maybe in a way how Fergie looked after Rooney ,some players just need a bit of advice now and again , young Ryan may be no different , the boy is a credit to the Club with his off-field work and must be assisted in any way possible .

By the way , hope you are feeling better .

Well the best way is to stop all this is for Ryan to put it all to bed as its unsettling for him and the team
He's a lovely lad and he's had a tough time lately but all the hype etc is not good For him or team morale .
Ryan should go and have a chat to Chris Hill he left when it was right to go its too early yet for Ryan but his time will come deffo he will be a star one day

He is already signed up !

How very boring is this subject. If he wants to go then fine, give us loads of money, and wish him well. As has been said, no one player is bigger than club.instead of talking to hilly he should talk to hopkins, he went to early as predicted my many, sam went way to early and now is back with us

Oh we are sorry Stephen, if its so boring don't bother posting.....oh you did!

They say to much Real Ale is bad for you , but Steven you are getting Wiser by the Pint .

So what exactly can be discussed on this messageboard?

Surely anything Leigh RLC or RL related. If no one replies the thread dies. This one wasn't dying until someone has objected to it on the grounds of boredom.

The club need to have a word with Brierley, tell him just what to say when questioned about moving on. He'd be absolutely mad to go to Salford though if he has any ambitions of becoming a top RL player, always said going to Salford would be a sideways move for him, after last night it's clearly a backwards step.

Its not just about ambitions or backward steps in Ryans career , Ryan and his Family are Salford supporters , just read his comments , his dream is to play for them , nowt will change that .As for Salford being a move sideways , they are already in SL , and that is also Ryans dream .
