Following on from the resignation of Paul Rowley at Leigh, there are rumours that Ryan Brierley has walked out.

Assuming this to be true, there is bound to be a lot of interest.

Our lack of depth and options at half back were cruelly exposed at Castleford last week.

Is Ryan Brierley the answer?

Can we afford him?

Would he even come?

Yes

No

No

Why wouldn't he join us?

Cos other super league clubs will want him like leeds

Would be nice but who would he upset and displace, because he's not coming to play second fiddle, especially with no reserve grade to put pressure on starting halves.
More likely to be back in for Joe Keyes further down the line.

Plenty of bidders, his agent will be happy !

It says there Hull fc are interested but they are struggling to get Lee Smith under the salary cap , so how could they sign someone else...

Hull might be doing that as a bargaining chip with Lee Smith in their contract negotiations.....

Sky Sport reporting that Brierley is going nowhere
Beaumont says that any agreement regarding him having a get out clause is not enforceable and he wants to know who divulged it to the media and has instructed legal action !!!

So it seems like the bully boy tactics go on at Leigh

Although knowing nothing about the actual clause, the concept of an "unenforceable contract clause" is a novel one.

Ryan, sign this..
Not unless you give me a get-out clause in the event of Paul Rowley leaving, because it is his presence that is persuading me to sign it.
Yeah, sure Ryan, here's a pen.

Hmmm. A clause is a clause.

And why would you insist on a key player staying who wants away? Let him go and get a loan player from a Super League club.

Unless Beaumont is really saying, "if you want him, pay for him, but don't think he can walk away as a free agent".

Never doubt a Leigh fan Slugger, they're always right !
Remember, they got promoted in 2015
