Well, I can either choose to believe the protagonist's story (you know, the guy who was actually THERE) - or someone who clearly wasn't.

By the way, Bomber was there that night, too (you know, the guy who was INVOLVED IN THE CONTRACT DISCUSSION) - and he said Briers was remarkably professional about being dropped.

Fair enough , players still have a choice though , did Bomber say he didnt want him ? Briers could have said no to Dire and asked to stay to fight for his place but he didn't. Anyway's it doesnt matter really , ancient history.

Bomber said he did want him. However, he couldn't guarantee Briers would get a game whilst Goulding occupied the spot. And since Goulding looked set to be Saints' scrum half for many years it would be criminal to prevent a player with Briers' skill from regular first team play. Especially as he was good enough to start for all but the top two or three clubs.

He also said Saints offered Briers a pittance. So, what would you do?

As a neutral winning mom in the semi and not even been able to be part of squad stinks. Glad he got his day finally and also glad not having to endure St Choker's for another final will do me.

In Briers postion?? I honestly couldnt say. He was young and things change. He made a choice and financially it's probably worked out for him. Would be interesting to ask him if he regrets leaving.

Your neutrality is clear. Poor trolling attempt

So, we agree his situation was more complicated than you initially suggested.



He doesn't.

Reading this thread has made me even happier to have won tonight.

altogether now...it's never your year, it's never your year...just like the last five......

It would seem so yes. It doesnt change my opinion of him as a player or person (From what I've been told by people I trust) though.

Interesting thing is when we signed Long we still had Goulding and Martyn (as well as Karl Hammond who could play standoff), I know people had doubts about Tommy's fitness but they were long standing. Sometimes you just have to back yourself to prove your the best, unless of course you dont have faith in yourself.

You should stick to nailing your sister , trolling just isnt for you.



P.S gloating about 'being your year' should be saved until you've actually won SL.

Not trolling all facts. Spent many of time shouting for you at GF's only to be dissapointed. Briers and Long would have made a good combo pity someone didn't have a crystal ball at the club.

Well your listening to a tonne of garbage.

He does an unbelievable amount of work for Reverse Rett syndrome.

I think if you had even the slightest idea of what he does you'd be embarrassed by that comment.
