I agree with what you're saying Gunner. I just don't think with the handful of games he's played with Toronto is of benefit to us over a 4 week period, but if we have no halfback, then we have little choice but to take him on. Not sure what, if any, the other options where.

Will Ryan fill in? Yes..
So under the circumstances,what would you have done different?

The question would be, was that the only available option? I can't answer that. If it was fair enough. Not sure what happens in 4 weeks time as that injury on Josh didn't look good.
If it's just to cover injuries in the short term then fine, I can go with that. If it is with a view to a permanent deal in future then I think it is another backwards step, a-la Emmit !
I will defer to anyone who can tell me otherwise but i doubt a beter option was out there right at this moment at what ever the price was (loan so not likely much) We need a proven halfback with pace, right now, Ryan is that man. Yes i would like to see him stay also, but for now id be stunned if a better fit for us existed now or in the next 3 weeks. I am also very sure Mr B is very happy with the situation. Always look on the bright side of life
I watch every game on DVD (thanks Fred) but it will never beat being behind the sticks.

I dont what all the fuss is about.
October 2018, I would have laughed at the thought of Ryan playing for us again because of our financial plight, but come on....... He is a quality player at this level and we havnt really got much pace in the team really do we ?
I think DB is eyeing a top 5 finish, and why not ? None of us would have thought this at the start of the season.
I am sure it will become a season long loan, but who knows ? Is Degsy getting a sniff of the glory again ?

Folk keep saying signing Ryan is a step backwards HOW .?Its the same as signing Riddy, McNally,Emmitt, Laithwate ,Pownall,Spencer,even Mickey Higham, all ex players,if that’s the case then we should be bottom of the League with all these backward steps. Ryan brings so much to the team, pace , kicking , goal kicking, can score tries, and is a great support player, since he left. He has developed a ball distribution skill,and will add quality to your team.
For me wanting to return to Leigh shows his love for the Town, and we should make him welcome, I know I WILL.
