do you not rate briers then?

He's played well the last few games and has given the club some good service, i think there are better and i also think there are worse. If he was to leave at the end of the year i wouldn't be to bothered as long as we replaced him with some quality.

Why you found it so hard to say that under your 'Real' username astounds me.

You lost me there, this is my username

.

If you say so.

A good replacement for Monas or Briers.

Average at best imo. Too many errors and is injury prone.

What's wrong with Brett Seymour?

I think a coach like TS could do wonders with him.

Getting away from the Aussie press that seem to be on his back of late would do him good

Theres an aussie radio station called Triple M where they have podcasts on their website you can download to listen to the NRL discussion show with Gus Gould, I was listening to this a couple of weeks ago when he was talking about the Sharks, he reckoned Seymour was their most important player, said that they were making a mistake if they'd signed Barrett as a playmaker and he argued this had held the Dragons back when Barrett was there, because hes a good footballer running off a playmaker rather than a creative playmaker himself. Gus said that the Sharks were a very structured team who relied on set plays, and the one who had some ad-lib in him and could spark them was Seymour....sounds like he rated him highly.

Then again, Gus was always critical of Matt Orford in comparison to Monaghan, reckoned Manly (and NSW) should have had Monaghan as first choice halfback.

I've not watched too much of the Sharks this year, but I seen them a few times last year and I thought Seymour looked a top player. Not sure what's happened with him this year, though.

well documented drinking problems, personally i think they are being a tad harsh on the lad

remember the way he played againest the ozzies he ripped them apart single handedly

I have little feeling Ts is looking at the Salford lad Myler

Think you need to carry a notebook mate, your losing your memory.

fair do's but he still isn't in the same class as briers we need a high class half back youngish whether he's british or import personally i rate burrow very highly

Why even mention the likes of Danny Brough on here when their have been calls on this forum for us to cut down on foriegners ? People have been calling for us to give English talent a go yet here we are again talking about giving another Johnny Foriegner a go, make your minds up!

Are you confused?

After school Geography starts Monday at Great Sankey High 4pm. Your confirmed on the class

He did have a mullet though, which makes it highly likely your either australian or from cas.

or a complete mong

Not a foreigner, he's going for dual nationality.

Brough' a kind of poor mans Lee Briers to me. He has a blinder every six games or so, but the games in between, he's even more ordinary than Lee. He's also not got anywhere near as good hand as Briers.

Anyhow, I don't think Briers is finished, far from it. I think we'll get an Indian Summer out of Briers, like Saints have done out of Long, and he'll get another 12mths - 2yr extension. If he plays between now and Rd27 how he has done since he was dropped, and he wants to stay, I think it'd be foolish to let him go.

I know there's folk who'll talk about his grip on the club, influence etc, I think the last 7 days have told us, that's long gone now. There's only one bloke at Warrington, who's club it is. If you tow the line, work hard etc, you'll get the rewards, if you cut a corner, don't buy into the philosophy, you can get your coat. If Briers continues to show the desire of the last month or so, and demonstrates that he wants to be a part of the 'New Team', which it's looking like 2010 is going to be, given the cap space we now have, and with the other folk off contract, I think it might happen.

The bloke has waited 10 years to win something at Warrington, not managed it. He'll never have a better chance, opposition fans i'm sure would mock this with us perched in 12th, but I think the next couple of years look as optimistic as I can ever recall. Within a month, Smith has united a fanbase really. He's also changed folks opinion, instead of the belief that we had the players, a talented mob, but maybe not the coach, now we are all convinced we have the right man, and maybe not the players and he'll need to bring a few in, let a good few go.

This is a couple of times over the last week or so where you have claimed we are 12th.

We were 10th when you first said it and 11th now, stop selling us short!

As for the rest of the post, I couldn't agree more. It looks like we will need 1 new halfback if Monas leaves (although that could be Bridge), and if Briers can play consistently to his potential then he is a better option than many of the players out there, and less risky than getting an Aussie to come and try and settle...

This is the bit I'm not fully happy with - as you say, before Smith came in, most folk were of the view, rightly IMO, that we had a decent squad but a poor coach. Strange that now we have a decent coach, some of the same players are being deemed not good enough.

I appreciate that Smith will doubtless want to build his own side in time, but I hope that this season isn't being written off.

Far better than the 'Warrington' Monaghan.
