Couple of supposed ITK’s over on Redvee one saying on his way to Saints the other adamant he is not. His wife apparently homesick and on the way home.

i mean, i know social media doesn't show all but you'd be hard pressed to think that vicky and the rest of the family weren't having the time of their lives over there, based on what she posts.

I don’t seem to be getting that indication from Vicky’s media.
I think you can dismiss the RV rumours.

Yeah because nobody posts/projects an idealised version of their life via the "magic" of social media.

I don't think he'll go to Saints however because and even though our friends in Wa9 may disagree its a step down for him.

Hull bound as assistant to Cartwright for next season. His wife wants to relocate back to Hull.. if you believe the rumours

I think Briers will only return to the UK to take a 1st Team Coach' s job.

His daughter is settled in the St Helens area and didn't move to Australia with Lee and his wife.

Too far for him to travel to Hull daily from St Helens and suspect his missus would want to stay near her daughter.

Lee Briers won't be worried about casting aside the rose coloured glasses, he will go wherever is best for his bank balance.

Who wouldn't ?

Another year at the Bronco’s then to take over the reins when Burgess departs, maybe..

That as always been my thinking, when the Wire job was available and some people threw Briers name into the ring I always thought it better for him to keep learning the trade then come here after Burgess.

I wouldn't want him to come back, personally

Why’s that FMC? In case he does a Cunningham and Briers ruins his legendary status at Wire, if he turns out not to be a very good first team head coach, like Cunningham at Saints

Coming back here with only an assistant coach gig under his belt is too much like the often ridiculed "jobs for the boys" that has been discussed on here previously.

Let him prove himself as 1st team coach elsewhere, then if he's any good.......

The difference with Briers is he was part of the successful Wigan team winning a grand final, with Wigan playing some outstanding rugby that season. Then been part of a Broncos set up reaching a grand final, with team not really expected to make a grand final. He’s input in both teams was a massive contributing factor in their success. I’d say Briers is more than ready to take a top job in super league.

More is the pity he did not have such alleged influence when he was assistant coach with us from 2018 - 2021.

That was the first thought in my mind.
