Quote: ChrisPie2 "I know that he has barely been involved in the international setup, has overseen a period of mediocrity when he was the major player at Wire, then with all the new talent that they've brought in over the last few years Briers has diminished in importance, losing his captaincy, and even talk earlier this season of him going to play in the lower leagues.

Hardly smacks of world class, or anywhere near the standard required to grace the Wembley turf.'"


You're on here, acting like a prize gonad, and giving us a lecture on 'class'.

[quote="Eddie Hemmings said not ":1h9um51j] "Remember last time they were here, the Huddersfield Giants, they lost to a Luke Walsh drop goal. He's only scored four drop goals in his St Helens career has Luke Walsh and each and every one of them have been scored by Luke Walsh"[/quote:1h9um51j]:



Quote: ChrisPie2 "
He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.

Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.'"

The biggest problem Briers has had during his eleven years or so at Warrington has been some of the dross playing around him. I have no doubt that had he stayed at Saints, or a coach the caliber of Tony Smith had been at Warrington ten years ago (with the financial clout we now possess) then Briers would have a draw full of medals and international caps at home.

The few semi-finals we have made over the years, and the fact that we remained in SL despite some of the less than average (at best) players at the club is because of Briers quality rather than in spite of it.

Quote: JWP "There's nobody I'd want it more for than him, should we win, I reckon we'll get some reaction from him.

I expect to see all our players throwing boots, shorts, socks etc into the crowd. 17 blokes walking off in undies*

*18, if I join in for a laugh.'"


I'm slightly bemused, and a little concerned by this attitude....Yes, victory tomorrow should be celebrated in a fashion, but to celebrate as though we have actually WON the trophy, really does give the impression of a small-time club....which is an accusation most of us on here like to refute, when opposition fans come on here throwing the term around.

As the Wiganer points out, let's wait until we win the final before going overboard... icon_cool.gif

All well and good but 20 years between trips to Wembley is a long, long time, its not even the same blinking stadium now-a-days. I know if we win tomorrow I'm going to party like its 1999.


I'll worry about winning the actual trophy itself in a week or so.

I think the whole 'party like its 1999' thing was all a little over-hyped....I seem to recall it was all a bit of a damp squib, not much different to any other New Year's Eve... icon_wink.gif

"If it requires effort"....... Then dont bother!!!!:icons39ad_files/4166-1503SNMT-msnicons.jpg



IMHO Lee Briers holds the key to this semi final firmly in his hands, our forwards will lay the platform for him, but he has to step up to the mark and perform to his potential on the big stage. He blows too hot and cold for my liking, but there is no doubt that should Briers perform as we all know he can, Wire will be wembley bound, if not, then Wigan will have a field day.

Lee will need to play a big part if we are to win but I just have this feeling that if Mona's is up for it and on song he could really do the damage to beat wigan.

i'll ask you one question did watch playin for wales againest the aussies inthe first half the welsh won no infact briers won that first half on his own although they lost the game which was down to the fact of the lack of decent players around him if briers would have had the luxury of a decent coach or team mates over the years he would have been a world beater and believe it or not i can't stand the guy on a personal basis

Some honest guys in there with Briers but not realistically going to win you major honours
