Maybe the case then. Would also marry with reports about Craig Hall.

If I'm honest, I actually expect to hear that Leigh have convinced him to stay after all, making the whole thing a bit of a non-story.

I'm not sure how relevant it is or whether it adds any substance to the debate, but last season at Salford when we played them in the middle 8s' we walked down behind Brierley and Rowley, I'm not suggesting for one minute that they were there for anything other than the game itself, my point being that they looked like they were quite happy with each others company and looked the best of mates which could maybe go some way towards the rumour being true, Rowley needs to come to Wakey and as the assistant coach and take over from Smithy at the end of the season, and if he wants bring his mate with him

Stranger things have happened mate.....

Brierly going to any of the clubs Leigh will face in the middle 8s would be a terrible kick in the teeth for their fans. I doubt Brierly would do that. If I were him - as long as Rowley wasn't treated badly, I would stay at Leigh and help them get promotion if I had one year left before leaving. If it turns out that Rowley has been badly done to by that nice uncle Derrick then he may also walk.
I think Brierly is a decent player but not a play maker. A quick poacher but we need a good old fasioned scrum half not another Gaskell - unless Gaskell is due to leave in 9 month time.

Well said Woolly that's how I feel,at the moment I have heard 2 totally different rumours about why Paul resigned, but that's all they are rumours,I believe and hope Ryan Brierley will stay at Leigh for this season at least and continue to do his best.Keep Smiling,Charlie.

Rumour has it there's a "pre-contract" signed for him to go to Leeds in 2017 if he wants to take it up.

There's an even stronger 'rumour' that all the talk of Leeds was by Ryan's agent, and that Leeds weren't/aren't interested at all.

Much as there were strong rumours that Tom Armstrong was leaving to go to a SL team in the close season. His agent too looks to have let him down and he is back in the fold at Leigh.

By the way, personally I am yet to be convinced (and would be delighted for that to happen) that either of them is yet a SL-quality player.

Alan some clown on the Leeds forum started this rumour last year and I think he convinced himself. Treat with a very large pinch of salt

Reckon it will beSalford if he does go.

Would be a massive shock if he did join Bulls but then again can you imagine the partnership between him and Gaskell???

Could possibly be the strongest half back combination in the country (super league included)!!!
