Alan who is I believe a Leigh has hit the nail on the head, Brierley just isn't a SL halfback, he doesn't play at the line & shoots out in defence causing his edge players massive problems.
In the middle's he was hugely found out as Ridyard was one of a string of Leigh players needing ops & he couldn't step upto the plate.
He is always surrounded by drama and it appears he has proved what most Leigh fans were suspecting which was he & his agent are leaking his own info to extra money.
He has ultimately made himself look very stupid & selfish with his lies and clubs will now need to way up the drama that goes with him.
Hi Johnny, yes I'm a Leigh fan - although I hasten to add that I'm not one of the "we'll win every league game, plus the Challenge Cup" brigade!
Don't get me wrong about Ryan - I think he deserves a crack at SL, from his achievements to date, in the Championship. I just don't think it will work for him at half back. That said, he has listened, learned and progressed a lot at Leigh, and Leeds do have an excellent record of developing young players - albeit maybe younger than Ryan is now.
As for the current goings on, I'm surprised that/if Ryan is 'behaving badly'. I always found him a great young man, who would often go the extra mile for supporters, kids and disadvantaged people, often at his own expense. It could be that his agent is pulling the strings, or that Ryan is believing his own publicity. One thing's for sure - he's been publicly linked with over half the teams in SL, these past two years, and seems to get even more publicity than the top SL stars!
