Ryans not a flop,the structured styles of the majority if not all SL clubs doesn't suit his game.It would be the same case if he'd have come back to Leigh as our style now would not suit him.
Ryans game is suited to playing off the cuff not structured,he'll be back in his comfort zone with Toronto and good luck to him.

So if as seems likely they progress to sl he will be of no use to them as they wont be able to play that sort of rugby there

As Leigh are living proof that off the cuff doesn't cut it in SL.I would say there will more than just players at risk come SL time if promotion to SL is ever gained that is.
Lets be honest, he made a bad choice going to Huddersfield. They don't play his style and were a struggling team when he joined them. I thought he should have either stopped where he was, with you guys, or joined a club that were playing with confidence at the time. It was always a big ask for him to go and debut in SL as a half in a struggling team midway through a season, it was almost as if he was being set up to fail. I used to read a lot of the things he did community wise etc.. in Leigh and thought he had something about him, but I have to admit I lost a bit of respect for him when he left Leigh after all of his 'I want to get to SL with Leigh talk'. As a lot of players have found out before when moving clubs, the grass isn't always greener. All that said, it's a short career and if he's maximising his earnings by going to Toronto then good luck to him. He seems to like being the 'big fish in a small pond' so it could suit him scoring a bucket load of tries against plumbers and electricians I suppose. Sorry for gatecrashing your board, just wanted to give my opinion.

Frank, 9 posts out of 10 you make on here appear to be about this player, Brierley.
Signing a player, who can not even get into the team currently below us in Super League is simply not the answer.
It is a pity really that being able 'to run a bit fast' is not the only attribute required to be a successful Rugby league player. Otherwise we could sign Tom Hanks and play him at 7 in a shirt with 'F.GUMP' on the back and after every game you can return to the posh part of Salford a very happy man.
