I would assume that Brierley is temporary cover for the absence of Richardson and that when Saints get Fages back then the loan would end.

Possibly, reffy. However, there is a great risk of taking a key play maker as D/C. Injuries to Fages/Lomax will have Richardson back at Saints in a flash. We need 'our own' players in key positions, for my money. I reckon the month long loan is to allow time to sort out something more permanent.

I get what you are saying Reffy but if this loan of Ryan shows he is the player we need AND he shows he is committed to our cause, then i would look to get him season long over a DC who can be called back at any time.
Again I belive he fits what we need right now and in a months time will be even more ready to fit what we will need going forward this season.
Lets not also ignore that he is somewhat stepping into the lions den (or eating humble pie if thats your view) in doing this. That shows me that he realises he has a point to prove and is willing to take it full on.
Good on him for that in my book.
We all have our various differing views for what ever reason but i think this could be a huge positive for our club at this point of the season.
Always look on the bright side of life !
