Excellent news in my humble opinion.
Have just read Ryan has to date scored 138 tries in 129 games for Leigh.
Anyone who thinks he won't be a big asset must be watching a different sport to me.
The important bit is that he is available for ALL our remaining games this season - including 1895 Cup and Championship play offs.
A big thank you to Derek and the Board.

Agree with all of that PTB - Welcome back Ryan.....Again.

The guy next to me said the same about off side, however I did point out that we were say 28 metres out and the although they weren’t quite back to the Ref he was stood almost on the 40, so they were around 10 metres away.

Some around me were going mad when we broke through from the KO made it to about their 30 threw the ball inside, a Barrow player running back picks it up and some are screaming offside, no he wasn’t correct call play on.

Last tackle Rudd drops the ball/miss kicks it a yard out, knock on, Ref says PTB on the 10 again same folk going mad, saying he should play it a yard out. No it’s the correct decision, would have been a scrum on the 10 but as it was the last tackle it’s a PTB on the 10.

There was one incident which I did feel the Ref got wrong but understand why he gave it, we got tackled their player was in between our players legs as he stood up, so he took a rather large stride over him to ensure a clean PTB with no interference, and the Ref penalised us for moving off the mark, the penalty could have gone the other way, but for me I would have just played on.

Our fans were very supportive to the Barrow lads for the effort they put in last night, and although Refs do make mistakes, they get far more right than they get wrong, and for me they should also be supported for their efforts.

As an aside I would hate to be in that stand every other Friday evening the setting sun was a right pain in the booty.

It rarely shines in St Helens!

I know people are saying our halfs are playing well but if truths be known it s McNally that's setting up most of the trys,both our halfs keep getting caught in possession and look at yesterday when Simms broke through if brierleys in the team that would have been a try

Re: Ryan’s back!! : Thu Jun 27, 2019 9:11 pm  

Very happy with this news.
He scored 5 tries in 4 games in his recent visit, and expect a similar strike rate IF as John Duffy says, he can force his way into the team. Also fantastic to hear that he can play in any/all games. That must have taken a bit extra bargaining.
Welcome back Ryan

Brilliant news, Charlie. I'm tipping Leigh to finish 2nd and to push Toronto all the way to upset their plans for SL.

Well done again, Leigh.

Hope you getting better as well, Charlie.

Totally agree with you Graham,2nd spot there for the taking now Ryan’s home,I think we must thank Derek and JD for making it happen.Im still very shaky but improving slowly, and have pencilled in the Fev away game as my return to Rugby,that game will be a stormer, and I never miss a chance to meet up with the Fev guys in the Top House.
Hopefully get to see ya again, it’s been a while,I hope you are keeping well,anyway it’s a great time to be a Leyther at the moment, let’s enjoy the ride.
