Good interview with Derek on radio Manchester after the game setting a few things straight. Odd isn't it how when he says things in his own words there's nothing wrong, only when his comments get taken out of context by some website looking for clicks is there a commotion. I'm not too worried about any sort of behind the scenes massive turmoil so far it's all mostly rumours. We've got Derek's side of the story but nothing from the other side, Paul has only made some generic comments about honour & principles while Ryan has just said "I wish the fans knew" neither actually saying anything, if it was something major and serious we'd probably know by now. Instead all we have is some general rumours of something being a bit not right with a man people love to hate for some unknown reason, posted in the echo chamber of the internet. Hardly a journalistic expose.

Derek also invited Ryan and his agent to meet him and even said he'd invite Rowls as well as clearly the comments both Ryan and Rowls have made when leaving (in effect saying nothing but insinuating something is untoward) has really annoyed him and could be damaging to the club (witness the numerous theory's posted on this site and you can understand why).

For me though whilst I can understand Dereks annoyance we now need to move forward focussing on players who want to be here and a coach that wants to coach here, Rowley and Brierley was good whilst it lasted but its not worth wasting energy on them now, I'm sure Derek will ensure he gets compensated for Brierley should he go to Huddersfield (the only club to contact the club via official channels)but that aside I think its best the club now focussed on those players and staff committed to the club.

My take to any anti-Leigh fan, or any anti - DB , Is.

Stay away from the club and don't bother going to any games if that's how you feel.

And come back when you are ready to believe and support what Leyths goals and aspirations are.

Yes there has been unrest at the club of late, We either support our beloved club or we don't.

Are you on board or not?

But that's like dave Cameron saying are you behind this country? Are you with us or not????
Well no dave, I'm not.

Talking of Hudds, I notice that Derek said they wanted him as a full back - which in my option is spot on. If it wasn't for McNally I reckon we'd have seen him in that position a long time ago

Me too. It was interesting to hear Neil Turley say exactly the same, when Ryan overtook him in the Leigh all-time try scoring stakes.

as an outsider looking in , with a passing in interest ( due to the interest in Brierley from my club) i can't help but feel that this could end in tears for the leythers!
i hope for the many spot on Leigh fans it doesn't.

Unfortunately I don't think we will now get a single penny for Ryan Brierley, that ship has sailed, should his *4 weeks notice contract* be entirely enforceable then he will now go free to the club which bids highest for his salary or Salford (who we know he supports).

Whoever proof read his contract & O.K'd it should be boiled in a vat of P!$$ for making such a monumental b@lls up.

However, my silver lining in all this turmoil & quite frankly unprecedented injury list situation is that we are now forced to bring back Ben Reynolds, who for me [icould[/i be a future international & one our best signings since Chris Hill/Ryan Brierley/Mickey Higham/Greg McNally .....
or even better.

Only time will tell I suppose.

I just hope the situation is sorted, and soon. Ryan wont play for us again, its a sad end to a great leigh career. However i'm not bothered about him, i'm bothered about the players who want to play for us, and ensuring our club is successful.

Well I hope Ryan changes his mind and stays but whatever I am a Leigh fan and will watch every match this season provided I live that long. Sack your agent Ryan.

We need to 'get rid' of the ones who haven't wanted to play for us since Paul Rowley left...

Agree Budge.

the comments by the lads and people from the club on Twitter don't look like the comments of people who want to leave. The more I see this the more i think it was Ryan who has been unsettled by rowley and now is chasing the money! The team spirit on show yesterday was quality! We didmt miss Ryan one bit charnock slotted in nicely and riddy to step up like that was a unreal show of commitment! We have gaz hock at our club who doesn't care about coming out and saying what's what! If there was a problem at Leigh hock would of told us by now! Big win yesterday and it's time to say goodbye to the dead wood and move on! Leigh centurions is a big club and will never ever miss one player or coach

Very well articulated.
Some of us still miss Woody and Des though.

great effort by the lads yesterday .To lose Lee Smith just before the kick off was a major blow .Thought Riddy was superb and its obvious Higham is playing despite carrying a leg injury.Thought our forwards ran some great lines and when we get back up to having a full squad some team is going to get a right hammering

We'll be reet, these events couldn't have been planned for and the timing is shocking. Some sheeite needs sorting sooner rather than later, we will get players back who want to be here and let the rest rot (hopefully without pay) and bring in a couple to cover the gaps in the backline.

Still fancy us for SL 2017, probably even more so now

You're right about the wrong time however we have now played the other full time teams and not lost. Imagine what could happen when players start coming back to fitness

Teams with similar injury lists to us such as Leeds and Hudds have had awful starts to the season. They are established top 4 SL teams and haven't had the added blow of losing their Head Coach on the eve of the new season or all the other rubbish we've had to put up with and haven't coped half as well as we have.

We have had a very very difficult run of fixtures whilst being battered with injuries and bad news from all sides and yet we are still only 1 point off top spot.

Think Jukes and his team deserve a lot of credit for that. Not that it gets any easier with Halifax away up next!

Surely Ryan has played his last match for the club - and whilst many fans will prefer to slate him, I will be wishing him well because he has scored some wonderful tries for Leigh and a damn lot of them too!! And let's be honest, there wasn't many things better than seeing Brierley go the full length of the field at the LSV, leaving the opposition totally deflated.

Yes, I know, a lot of the stories lately point to Brierley not being fair or honest, and maybe even for some time too, but nobody can say that the young lad hasn't given his all for Leigh when on the pitch.

So good luck, Ryan, but have a think about how you might need to alter your approach to off-the-field stuff in the future.

What some folk need to remember is that Brierley is still young. And I know how daft and easily-influenced I often was when I was his age!!!

Exactly.
the goings on have been unsavoury but the online dialog has matched it too at times.

It is now time to draw a line under Brierley's Leigh career and support the players actually playing.

I second that. He's given his all for Leigh. Good luck to the lad. I hope he changes his mind, but if he leaves I wish him the best and hope he gets into SL. Thanks for the tries Ryan. You scored some crackers.
