Yes Briers was injured, Quad Strain should be back for Monday according to Tony Smith on Radio Manchester after the game

On the Hicks note he has done a great job as the kicker since Briers was dropped. He slipped and sliced the ball as he ran up to it. Nothing can be done about it. We didn't deserve anything from the game

I think people should be looking at the poor performances from Monaghan, Clarke, Grix, etc. before they criticise somebody that puts in 100% every week for us

Cant we lock this thread already, its just people looking for someone to blame for the defeat. It wasNOT Hicks' fault

Hicks got 2 great kicks in the match, i think this is a bit harsh, i didn't think the last conversion chance was a gimme.

I didn't know he could kick goals when we signedhim last year, he is doing a stirling job as a fill in kicker.

What happened to Briers doing the kicking (i know he didn't play), can he just not be bothered to practise or does he have a long term injury.

At Castleford away last year, when Briers was injured it meant that we needed another kicker. We knew that he could kick goals and he took over and did well, and then he carried on and is a very good goal kicker.

Not looking at the highlights on tv. More like he took the cone when he attempted to kick the ball. Anyway cant change the result and I am sure he will win us more than he loses.

I'm sure Riley would play at full back if fit. Well, until Mathers is fit. Then Riley and Hicks on the wings? But that means King back in the centres. I don't know.
