Big fan of him but you can't argue with letting him go unfortunately. Looked better at FB than anywhere IMHO, brilliant support player but unable to influence a game when given the opportunities this season. A player of his age/ experience should be chomping at the bit when in the team. Compare to Gaskell, only a year older but a much greater influence on a game and potent attacking force from what I've seen so far. Brierley was a finisher really with glimpses of being a creator.
Shame we couldn't keep him as don't feel hes had a fair amount of time but totally understandable he wants first team rugby and we don't want to pay him to warm the bench/ improve. l'm sure we'll see better from Brierley and I wish him well, no doubt he'll be back in super league at some point.
With regards HB's will it be Izaac Farrell to be promoted? thats why the Wigan lad has been signed. It was said by those in the know Stone has a reputation for promoting good young players and hes not been afraid to play them. Ellis could be back next season maybe too.
And for as many players we've offloaded and become successful elsewhere theres a few come here and done well.
