Stress??? Professional help??? Get real. A few pints of Guinness would have sorted it in my days. Unbelievable!!!!

............... and played the day after.

Anyone noticed the slight changing in the words in the article over the last couple of hours?

"“I met Neil Jukes and we apologised for the way things ended up and hoped we could move on with no grudges. We’ve all got to get on with our jobs now because we’re all professionals and in no way can everyone question his or the club’s integrity."

I wonder what's happened there then?

On the way out on Saturday I started reading the history of Leigh RL on the boards under the North Stand and reflected on the broken time payments and the upset that caused with the clubs backing their players and We should be proud that Leigh were central to this. I doubt anyone was running round shouting "Show me the money"

I wonder if he was misquoted originally? That's one of the RL websites that has been stirring the pot pretty vigorously lately, about Leigh Centurions.

Or maybe someone made a phone call to get a certain someone to go and change it?


There'll be another interview with the both of them appearing in a local paper shortly - Think this will draw a line under the whole thing.

So, a thinly veiled retraction of the poop he has spouted previously then, without a full admission that he & his agent have acted like mercenaries.

Still trying to cover up his wrong doing with smoke & mirrors is young Ryan, a shame really because when this all broke I initially believed there was something inherently wrong at the Club & that maybe DB was to blame for Rowley & then Ryan walking out.

How wrong could I have been.

"In no way can the [i'integrity'[/i of the Club be questioned"

A bit like saying Derek & Jukesy weren't lying about me trying to get another £15k, without actually saying it.

At least us fans still have a special place in Ryan's heart & within a few weeks the Giants fans will hold that special place in his heart, until he can manufacture a move to Salford, then it will be their turn.

Quite sad really, he could have been legendary had he helped to get us into Super Dooper League, then he could have taken his place alongside real Leigh Legends like Des Drummond, John Woods, Alex Murphy, Mick Martyn & Neil Turley.

Cost la vie.

Yeah who's the guy who's been getting all the exclusives from Paul and Ryan?

Yes I did also. The original article also posted a quote from young Ryan as follows:

"It’s just nice to be part of a Professional organisation"

Later amended to:

"It’s just nice to be part of a [iSuper League[/i organisation "

A difference

Lourdes is not far from Toulouse Alan, if you pop in you might get a Sainthood

The I to we on the apology was the big one, ie jukesy apologised and I accepted was the first one, reads differently now.

Very talented player. No doubt he will succeed in SL. Really enjoyed watching Ryan Brierley in Leigh colours. Saddened by his recent behaviour however and the manner in which he has left Leigh. Wish he could have conducted himself more like Chris Hill.

Folk keep saying let it rest then someone regurgitates, it again,Ryan is history now.

Oh the irony. Haha.

Ryan who?

Losing pay for him today against Wakefield. He won't have had to endure that very much in his time at Leigh!

It always used to be 2 pounds (less 20% for show me the money)

He was pretty poor today

Reading the Giants board it looks like he's jumped into the fire

Ha ha...many congatulations on beating the Huddersfield Midget's !

He didn't do much wrong though. Considering he's been training with the club 4 days and then is expected to slot in at half back he did OK. Wasn't off the place and some nice passing. I think some folk were expecting him to come in score a hatrick and make 6 assists. Was never going to happen.

It wouldn't have mattered if he did score a hat trick and got the MOM award,he doesn't concern us,we have a game at Worky tomorrow.

I hope the interest in the new Huddersfield player will continue on the Giants' forum leaving us to talk about current Leigh players on here.

That would only be the Leigh fans Jools

Don`t delude yourself.
