m brooksy Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Brierley is a interesting one as on the wing he looked really uncomfortable and unsure of himself. The last two games were dead rubbers but he was excellent when moved to full back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyed Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think he’s a good signing for us. Brings some real pace and comfortable at full back or wing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrewsbury roughyed Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Replaces Abram at full back I’d guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefgeneral Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We should be going after local lads like Lewis Galbraith, Ben Moores and Danny Yates etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Â 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

I didn't think Brierley looked uncomfortable at all on the wing, but agree it would be good to see him get an extended run at full-back next year.

shrewsbury roughyed Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Slightly (totally) Â off the subject- but nice to see that Lee Kershaw has earned a new 2-year contract at Wakefield. He did a good job for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham 1 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021  we must have fought off competition from well nobody for that signing I mean it can't just be me who is fed up of watching him run around in circles so often he disappears up his own backside , his kicking game is a mix of chips in the air right into the full backs hands or those grubbers into touch that are great with 5 min to go when you are winning ,sadly he does it when we behind and his defence is terrible , I fine with us being in league 1 and understand why our better players would leave but as a half back I'd rather see a young amateur half given a go rather than Hewitt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want to call me an idiot then fine but please tell me one thing I said that isn't true of his performances I've watched him since he first came to the club and after he came back from Sheffield I been to every home game and most away games in that time and he hasn't developed at all he's a worse player now than when he first came , so please tell me how I am an idiot  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spw1 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I’m very much on same side as the doubters, I’ve not seen Chewy have a good game for about 3 seasons, I don’t want to slag him off, but I honestly think there’s a better No7 out there. All I can think is that he must be a really cheap option. But he’s signed and I hope he makes me eat my words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The lad plays well when we have an experience stand off otherwise he doesn't back himself. As the play maker I'm sure he's carrying out the coaches instructions I hope he has a decent 2022 if he does we will be thereabouts for promotion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 last season our half backs loose forward full back were useless, it stood out like a sore thumb. and with this tonight the 2022 season is going to go the same way. but were is littler in all this i do not think he will last long.

On last season totally agree , if you look at our promotion team in 15 with Lepori at full back and Palfrey at half back and our promotion team in 19 with Hawkyard at full back and Crook at half back , we had talking players / leaders in key is spots now Crook and Hawkyard where both nearing the end of there playing careers that season but led the other players and guided them brilliantly and those kind of players roles can't be underestimated , last season we had players who led by example ie Dupree, Reilly , Landgtree and Gregory but we didn't have a talking leader and it's so vital in a game to have a controlling half and full back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Barran showed potential. We could also do with a pack leader. Again someone to organise the big blokes. Edited October 19, 2021 by The Art of Hand and Foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
