Just seen that Ryan Brierley has become the 1st player in Leigh Rugby history to have scored 3 hat tricks in 3 consecutive games! Massive congratulations to him, playing brilliantly along with everyone, if this keeps up we'll be unstoppable this season.

He's playing some top drawer RL.
Amazing record after just three games (Spencer is catching him up as well !)

Fantastic

Great player in a great team

You can't do better than write your name in history, congrats Ryan

Brilliant stat...what are the odds on another one in the next match? Season record must also be under threat and I never thought I'd live to see that one beat!

Outstanding by the guy


Best part is, it will mess with the game plan of every team we face from here forward. They have to somehow shut down Ryan without leaving gaps elsewhere. The way he's playing right now, neither are possible


(n don't forget the coach that helped him get this far, and took quite the amount of stick for not using him more when he first started to show potential. Well done Paul Rowley)

Ryan is in a great period of form currently and certainly from the yearbooks I've looked at thus far, I've not seen anyone score with such regularity at the start of a season. That said I've not gone as far back as Edwards/Offiah/Hanley yet.... As for his Leigh career, he is now on 61 tries for the club and nudging his way up club rankings

Anyone know if there's some sort of world record for this?

Think I heard on twitter today that a few people have 4, so one more to match it 2 more to claim it. Keighley and St Pats, come on Kes We beLEIGHve!

Yeah looks like the great Brian Bevan managed four consecutive games on two different occasions. Even to match that would put Kes him alongside RL royalty!

If he only scores 2 against Keighley, he'll be dropped.

If he hits the posts from the touchline again he wants dropping, ruined an otherwise ok performance.

56 tries in the season is that Neil's record? (albeit for a full back?) (did it include his try for Lancashire too?) I never thought that would be beaten but Ryam's "on course" for it at the moment. He'd have to average just over 2 tries a game in 26 league games. Not including any cup games.

How many did the Aussie in the 80s Steve Halliwell (was it?) get. I seem to remember all the players passing to him for the last few games of the season to get him to score tries.

And what happened to him in his first game of the following season, for Saints, (v Leigh) after he apparently didn't share the prize money with his team mates at Leigh, for being the League's leading try scorer?

Tony Cottrell told the full true story about this incident on Sunday , his words were Steve was Jet Lagged and he slipped





,one question , did Halliwell ever play again after this incident ?

It's alright for you, living it up with the VIP's. we had to make do with our prawn butties in the West Stand!



Did you get a 'free' programme as part of your deal?

49

His team mates waited in the in goal area to pass the ball to him, it is no wonder they were a bit miffed at him not sharing his cash.

Alan I DID get a free Programme at the Haven game





and the food has also improved , I even sat in the Directors Box

, but its back to the terraces on Sunday at Cougar Park .I still prefer your Programmes though , im a Loyal Clown .

.

Still having to pay for the programme, I'm afraid. As for the ones I did, I hear they are becoming collectors' items now - going for a small fortune on eBay! Don't flood the market with them though, or they'll be going for an even smaller fortune!!

He could get a hatful against St. Pats. Then there's the playoffs or whatever they are calling them this season. If we finish top we should get at least 2 games. So assuming he stays fit and isn't dropped

you are looking at 1.7 tries per game from here to equal the record. Not sure how you can score .7 of a try but anyway...

He may not play against St Pats.

Bring him off the bench for the last 15 or 20..that will be long enough for another hat-trick!
