..... And they can do Maths ???

He still has speed of thought, that keeps him ahead of the game. Improved defence as well, getting better with age

Maybe we have a Benjamin Button type situation on our hands ??

That could be bad news, we might be paying out a fortune in nappies by the end of his career.

I hope Briers gets another year with the option of a further year if required. Would hate to see him do a Long and sod off to any old club.

Most of the discussion after the Cats game was quite rightly about the forwards. But Les Cats are absolutely lethal if they get a sniff of your try line with their big hard running forwards. However I thought Briers had a very good kicking game (despite the difficult wind), he kept kicking long on the last play the ball to keep them out of our half. Then in the second half do you remember those touch finding kicks he made, sending their forwards back to a scrum in their own 20m ? I kept on seeing nails being driven into a coffin.

how long has paul wood been here

Think it was 2000 ?

Think last year's testimonial might be a clue

It's half, up to £50,000 iirc

That's true. We can not reduce the cap by more than £50k, regardless of how many long serving players we have.

Definitely having Briers next year and possibly even in a cameo role the following year. I'd like to see him retire at the top rather than go elsewhere for a season or so. There is still nobody in SL I'd sooner have at 6

It only applies to one player per club, but we are in a good position in this respect, with several long serving players. Benny W completes 10 years at the end of this season, and Chris Bridge isn't too far off, so even if Lee and Woody were to finish, we've still got players that qualify.
