This is true Saints record was outstanding but Saints won't be able to repeat that record either unless they find a core of players like Cunningham, Wellens, Long, Scully etc.
I reckon there will be more unpredictability about the coming years, the cycles of success will be shorter and honours more up for grabs. But I am fairly confident Warrington will be up there rather than mid table, as will Saints.

| The Welsh team missed Briers today I thought. Had Briers been playing, there may have been a few more scoring chances for the Welsh (although to be fair they do need a bit more grunt up front).

It certainly wasn't a walkover. Have a look at the bigger picture and think about some of the teams he played in prior to August 2009.

The bigger picture is that he's just not a top line player. He's never been the man to pull you out of a hole, good teams or bad.

| Briers is exactly what we needed last season. He'd have made the difference for us. A kicking game, some composure close to the opposition line and an old head to steer the ship.

Exactly.
He should play for Wales in the World Cup though, would improve them no end going off their showing last week.
