Obviously not inherited your Dad's abilities then...?

The lad Brierley isn’t a bad little player but he isn’t blessed with speed and he could find the step up to SL a tough challenge imo. It’s OK for this former scout Robinson raving about him but I think you have to ask the question why no other top clubs haven’t taken a gamble on him?

Eh? that would be the Brierley that left our backline for dust in the recent friendly ,

mind you withthe exception of Johnson i've seen glaciers move faster...

I think you could be getting confused with Ridyard who scored the interception try.

No he isn't ridyard intercepted but isn't the quickest and brierley took the inside ball for the last Leigh try, he left wire defence for dead too and of his failings pace and balance isn't one

More chance of you going on loan Michigan.

Sad to see Barker continually adding Brierley into any twitter conversations about his future. Should leave his personal account out of any speculation. Won't be doing the lad any favours.

Ryan is a great attacking talent. Those who think he's not quick must be mixing him up with somebody else. Not the the best in defence but neither was Martin Offiah! Ryan has scored 12 tries for Leigh so far this season. Last season he was their top try score with 14. He is clearly going to batter that, injuries allowing. He can play at 6 or 1. I would be amazed if other SL teams are not sitting up and taking some interest!



Prior to signing for Leigh he was on Castleford's books but as somebody has already pointed out, he and his family are lifelong Salford supporters.



I find it interesting, however, that Ryan's playing style and ability is very similar to that of Niall Evalds, who for reasons best known to the coaching staff, has been sidelined.



Consequently, while it might be attractive to Ryan to come to the club he has supported all of his life, my advice to him would be to stay put if he wants regular first team rugby league.

I would have liked to have seen us sign Ryan, prior to him signing an extension with Leigh (assuming this is what’s happening) but then loaned back to Leigh for the remainder of the 2014 season and even the 2015. I think this arrangement would have benefited all parties, but more importantly the players.



You would hope his contract would include various caveats including should Leigh fail to achieve Super League status in the next two-years he could leave etc.



I think he’s a top talent, by far the best outside of Super League.

What else would you say he offers, as well as his obvious try scoring ability?

He does 100 mtrs in about 11.5 secs. His try scoring at leigh is 62 tries in 60 games and he is 2nd only to Ridyard for assists so far this season with 9
