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.

no use worrying about it what ever will be will be

Don't come on here much these days and our communication strategy is to use official club channels wherever possible now so I won't make a habit of it however I feel it's important in this instant to put an end to all the talk about this kid as Ryan is very happy and learning from his mentor PR and is going no-were. He is a contracted player to an ambitious club that is financially robust and does not need to sell for the money.

Ryan is one of the best professionals a club could wish to have but inevitably attracts a lot of media attention which is fantastic also for the club as there is no such thing as bad publicity in my opinion.

We don't as rule comment on speculation but the very earliest this will even be discussed again is at the end of the current season as we have a very important league campaign to get through and neither the player, the club or our fan base need any distraction from this.

We have on our board one of the toughest negotiators as our head of football and rest assured if any player ever does leave our club at any point in the future it will be on our terms and the deal will be in the best interests of the individual and Leigh Centurions.

We are not a selling club anymore and have a clear pathway and vision to SL with the cash to support it so all our players and ones we target and bring in to strengthen what we already have understand were we are going and buy into that vision.

Hope this helps put the speculation to bed.

Andy Mazey

until the end of the season at least
