Is there a possibility in all of this that Ryan could have played his last game of the season. Handing his notice in is fine, but if that is challenged Leigh could well argue that they still hold his registration which I presume runs out in November.

Could leave him nowhere.

Exactly- so why not just wait...... If it was greed as suggested above (and no one on here has accused him of that before) It doesn't make sense to me as he could actually find himself In a worse situation-. So that suggests there's more to it. There's something not quite right behind the scenes.
Fwiw I think theres some bending if the truth in more than one of the statements that's been put out there.
I also think Beaumont is being disastrously pig headed in not getting the club some cash. Instead brierley gets paid for doing naff all!

Possibly because there are a lack of half backs out there at the minute,and injuries are evident.His chance for SL is better now than it will be 10 weeks down the line.Whether or not other clubs want to take him on given the way this has unfolded and still a disciplinary to contend with I'm not sure what he has planned.Could be a holiday in Canada who knows.

Perhaps they wouldn't take him on now- but they can take him on in November- for free regardless.
What makes you say you think chances are better now than 10 weeks down the line?
if he's wanted now he will surely be wanted for the business end.
If Beaumont has any sense he will put him on the transfer list and take the cash now... He won't get anything else out if this situation otherwise. Take the money offered and wave bye bye.
Seems odd to me that one of your "star players" that fans have idolised has made himself a baddy- ok it may be about money, it may be he thinks his career is being held back- I can go for that. Wouldn't be the first time a player has acted like a primadonna - BUT your most successful coach in recent times has also left under odd circumstances- I just don't get why someone in his situation would go for no apparent reason. Rowley has never struck me as the diva type.

Re: Ryan... : Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:25 am  

You can't have a discussion based on speculation. The fact is when Rowley left confidentiality was broken by someone,Rfl operational rules were broken by someone,that's the guy who needs naming and shaming,the guy who stuck it in the public domain making it a free for all the same guy who's made us look like a circus because of his actions not DB's.Find him and you'll find your answers.

....... If he does go think we'll need a "He can't play against us this season" clause.

I believe you have the perfect template in the contract Gareth Hock brought with him

http://www.totalrl.com/bulls-ferres-brierley/ ---- Bradford Bulls managing director Steve Ferres says the club has not made any bid for Leigh halfback Ryan Brierley. The Bulls have been drawn into the unfolding saga between the Centurions and the player, when they were named in Leigh’s statement on Brierley’s suspension on Friday night. But Ferres says any interest has not extended beyond a brief chat with the player’s agent Craig Harrison. Ferres told League Express: “I speak to Craig Harrison about players that we have that are with him, and it’s known that Ryan is with Craig as well. “I asked to keep us in touch with the situation, but stressed to Craig that we would not be making any offer until the situation regarding the clause in his contract had been resolved.” --- So there are 4 parties all sounding entirely plausible in their denial of wrongdoing.

Why would Bradford be in bother for saying let me know when he's available? Seems fair enough-also explAins the Bradford are interested comment. Let's be honest they haven't made it s secret they would be interested.
Ask yourself this. Brierley has 6 months ish left on his contract, then he can just leave anyway. He can talk to other clubs in a few weeks. Why is he putting himself through all this and apparently sooooooooooo desperate to get out?

Because some Bonehead is badly misguiding him?

I'm presuming you mean his agent? The same agent who has about 70 RL players on his books such as Luke gale, Ben Currie, Liam sutcliffe, Greg Eden, Stevan ratchford, Danny Maguire- yeah there's been a right soap opera around those players- I don't buy that one.

Re: Ryan... : Tue Mar 08, 2016 6:31 pm  

Regardless of agent involvement. Name any player whose precise contract details have got in the press month in month out for the last 12 months or so. All the players you named there are SL or NRL and he is not bold enough to dick around those clubs. He clearly needs Ryan minus a contract to earn a big wedge for himself and Ryan.

What do you make of the report that on GMR Ryan supposedly said he had not put his notice in. Yet 'his' Saturday statement said he had I think.

We made a mistake yesterday. Ryan Brierley has not denied handing in his notice at Leigh Centurions. Sorry for the mix up.
