Exactly. I put a big post on here recently stating that I think he'll get a new deal, and under Smith, Briers will have an Indian Summer, Sean Long style, where he'll change his game slughtly and get us around the field. If Briers could find this level consitantly, you wouldn't even look for a new halfback, it's Briers+1.

He was involved in everything, must have got at least 5 try assists tonight, awesome.

He controlled the game tonight and created more than Monas and Bridge did in two games over the easter holidays

Cheers.


I'm not being negative or anything like that, I'm delighted with Lee's performance, and the team's performance, too. But I don't get overly excited by one game and bring out the 'world class' phrases and so on. Let's hope we finally pick ourselves up now and develop some kind of good consistency in our performances; what better way to start?

It was a very good performance from Briers....However, its fair to say his whole Wire career has been littered with displays like this, and more often than not he follows it up with an annoymous performance in a match where he actually has to produce the goods in order for Wire to be successful.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I don't see how this performance holds any more significance in Briers' future.

Bit like the tale of 'Cry Wolf'...

Lee Briers last three SL performances for Warrington have been exceptional, it's just a shame that in between, without him we've lost two games. He's actually in form right now, not inconsistant as folk are making out.

27 posts and not one person has trotted out that "he only plays when he's on sky"


that eld classic.

Correct, and hopefully this is due to working for a new coach who will not put up with any crap.

Pretty much every time he touches the ball it is class.

His kicking was much better tonight too.

No I didn't.

Good point, I'll give you that, but who have those performances been against??....As I say, I'd love to be proven wrong, but until he can turn that on against a Saints or a Leeds on a consistant basis, then I'm afraid it isn't a rejuvenated Briers we have, but a typical Briers.

Talk on other threads of folk like King 'enjoying their rugby'. Look now further than Lee Briers for evidence of this too. He looks as motivated as I have seen him since probably the whole 'Briers for Britain' thing. Now though, I think he's also tackling more, and has more to his game than he had then. (More aware of his responsibilities, structures etc)

His brain is razor sharp, I don't think there's a quicker thinker, or I'll rephrase that, I don't think there's anybody in SL, with a clearer picture of the field in his mind, as to 'what's on' than Briers.

Played well tonight along with Monaghan. Was pleased for both of them.

There was a tackle in the 2nd half, where Bradford where on the attack, and they went in touch. This was due to a Lee Briers tackle and leg drive into touch, and the commentators brushed over it, talking about how bad Bradford were rather than discussing what was actually happening on the field.

His performance today was as clear cut an MOM performance as I have seen, although once Eddie started banging on about Hicks going to break the record, it was always going to be Hicks.
