Quote: Grimmy "Not too keen on Ashton Sims, mainly because he punched George Williams on the floor but also because he seems quite gobby (similar to LMS). I'd soon get over it if he played for Wigan of course. I never got the dislike for Briers to be honest, he was really talented and should have got GB caps. My favourite wire player is Hill, consistently the best prop in the league, crazy that he has only been playing in SL since 2012.'"
I think Wigan fans took it far to personally when Briers suggested that Wire fans go to the HJ to cheer on Catalan when you played them in the Challenge cup semi there a number of years ago . It was all very tongue in cheek and there was a bit of an overreaction IMO as he was doing a bit of promotion
He got the most hate from Leeds fans... They just hated him because they feared him..
