If we are to replace Briers it needs to be with a player who can pass to their right. It is easier said than done. If you look at a lot of the other teams in SL the main try scorers are the left wingers. Saints buck that trend because of Gidleys (And Lyon's before him) brilliance, We have also had an advantage in this area because of our right hand side over the last few years.

If your right sided half back cannot pass to their right that well (or not as good as some) then they need to have other tricks up their sleeve, Pace to burn, great footwork, Awesome dummy combined with great hand off etc. Briers does not have some of these but he can pass to the right and can kick.
If you think about it a kid might pick up a ball at the age of 5, by the time he is 15 he might have passed the ball to his left on average 10 times a day for 10 years, that is 36,000 times minimum. It takes a lot of catching up to get that good at passing to the right.

I am sure the club are looking at the 15, 16, 17 year old half backs we have and developing their skills. The holy grail would be to have 2 halfbacks that have the lot. The evasion skills and speed of Burrow, the power of Pryce, the passing ability of Briers (Right) and Cooke (Left) the defence of monaghan and a kicking game. Oh and vision

The only player that gets close to that job spec is Johns.

Probably worse.

No he isn't but he's spot on about Myler, He was at the club twice last week having talks with Smith, ive mentioned it on another thread.

He might have been at the club, but it was only for rfl player review business. I was in reception picking up some tickets when sean o'loughlin came in. The receptionist at the clubs words were: "a few of them would be around today, they'll be rumours flying around tonight saying they've seen so and so go into the club". Unless it was just a big cover up and we're signing myler and o'loughlin.

mike nicholas was there too. are we re signing the great one.?

"I've mentioned it on another thread." Well in that case if you've said it twice then it's gospel. His business at the club was completely unrelated to your suggestion of him signing for Warrington. More bloody rumourmongering.

Actually monging would be more appropriate.
