Quote: Marco-Van-B "I think you might be disappointed mate.
The loss of Briers will be felt in the big games where Warrington's lack of invention at half back will be exposed.
Don't get me wrong, Myler and Ratchford are both excellent players, but neither has a stunning tactical kicking game, or does that off the cuff bit of magic, that Briers could change a game with.
I really rate O'Brien and would like to see him get game time, but I am not sure if this will happen without injuries.
The loss of 3 starting props will also be felt, as Wires get out of jail card last season was the interchange, which blew teams away.
They will still be to strong for the weaker teams, and I really rate some of the young players, especially Brad Dwyer, but I think next season will be one of transition.'"
Briers had such an influence on the team that Myler and Ratchford didn't/ couldn't step up their organisational game. I can't recall last season when Briers had a big impact in changing a game so I am still hopeful that the enforced change may work out positively.
We also have three props to step up in Riley, England and Asotasi.
