I can just see it now :- Martyn Ridyard groin , or Josh Woods Head injury, could miss Leigh Centurions important fixture at Sheffield this coming Sunday.

I really hope not, but that's the risk that is worrying me.

Me too Al,that was my point.

But just in case that happens, throwing a lot of money at a very poor and ineffective half back is just plain nonsense for me.


I appreciate I have a minority view to people I respect. However I believe he will be a Leigh player very soon.

In my opinion, RB gives us a player with proven line breaking and try scoring ability, who most importantly can fit effectively into any position outside the pack (though he could operate at 9 at a push). Sounds useful to me for the rest of this season and next.

One things for sure as proven again tonight Riddy is not a FB, he’s needed in the halves

Re: Ryan’s back!! : Wed Jun 26, 2019 9:45 pm  

I wasn’t able to go to tonight’s game at St Helens , due to ill health,and listened to Radio Cumbria coverage on the BBC.
One of the Barrow commentators was Ade Gardner,who made the same comment about our halves more than half a dozen times, stating how are halves are not very creative, ie Woods only possesses a left peg kick, his words not mine, and how Ridyard offered very little due to age and lack of speed, again only his words,saying our most offensive player was lost when McNally went off.
My point being if injury happens we could be left wanting in our creative ideas, I have a feeling Derek is pushing for a challenge on Toronto’s SL aspirations this year,and to do this we need more bodies on board.
Can someone who went to the game inform us were Leigh that short of invention?Its hard to form an opinion when listening to a biased radio presenter.

On tonight’s performance the presenter wasn’t biased

I think Leigh are more concerned about Sheffield game and will have been leaving juice in the tank for Sunday.

Re Brierley, I can't understand Harolds comments. He doesn't need to be directing play or be a tackling machine, Ryan is a fantastic support player and scores points for fun. Get him back asap. Be good to scupper Toronto's plans.

Well done again to all at Leigh. You are all doing a tremendous job.

Graham, this is what I’ve been saying from the start,again I’ve got a feeling it won’t be long before Ryan returns.Charlie knows.
