I am dreading the day. Mind you he is playing as well as ever and has even added more to this game this season, evergreen.

Don't post very often, but I can tell you that Gareth O'Brien is a very special player in the same way that Briers is. I coached him when he was 10 years old for Warrington Schools and his ability to read the game, learn and replicate moves after seeing something once blew me away even at such a young age.

Listen to Brier's interview at the end of the game last night - he knows the kid has what it takes if they handle him correctly. I for one was very proud to see him out there last night.

Briers signed for Warrington when he was 19 for £65,000 and was recognised at the time for his potential and has since been probably the most consistently good halfback in the British game since that point. It is unfair to expect anyone, least of all a young player who has just made his debut, to try and fill that role. Give him some time to develop into a player in his own right without piling all this pressure on.

looks a very good young player for you lot

You're right - it was King's 'walk-in' try that came from an O'Brien - Hodgson passing set. The pass was still most excellent, though.
