You're being daft again.

1. Smith has post match on a number of occasions paid Briers special reference, and has if anything gone out of his way to single him out for praise.

2. Brough had a decent game on Saturday, the last couple of times he's been on SKY he's been woeful. If both were the same age right now, then you'd take Briers all day long.

Even you, and I say even you given your opinion on Briers, must have cringed yesterday as Bridge & Monaghan pretended to be halfbacks and just went left & right with no direction for 76 mins.

I thought Bridge tried his best but we all now know that his best position is at centre, Monaghan made one break down the middle and offloaded it to Rauhihi, that shown what he's capable of but he doesn't seem capable of doing it 3 or 4 times a game.

Going back to your first point, although giving him praise TS has mentioned many times in the Warrington Guardian that Briers has to improve and produce the goods on a more consistent basis and he cant do that and that's why we need a change.

Deary me, he's been brilliant for the past 5 weeks, that's consistent. Do you actually watch our games when your at the stadium.

He's definately improved, but I wouldn't go that far.

He can play....The only reason he has put in so much effort of late is because everyone was slating him. He is a lazy inconsistent player always has been. Get rid of him he is no good!

You see, i've been accused on here before for Bridge bias, and I've always stuck up for him, but yesterday proved to me that he can't really play in the halves. When Clarke had it at hooker, say centrefield, Bridge didn't have a clue where to go, he was almost jumping from foot to foot, like when you walk across hot sand in bare foot, never once did he clap his hands with any conviction, demand the ball, and lift his head to take a look at the defence then try to probe a way through it, never once. He just almost hid behind Monaghan or at least he hid behind Clarke, on his blindside so he couldn't see him as if he didn't want that responsibility. The only time he looked a threat was with broken play, like when he put Grix away.

That's the difference with Briers, he has the ideas, almost too many at times, but he'll always be thinking, a couple of plays ahead etc. Like Smith says, he overplays at times, but he'll take risks and find plays too.

I always feel that Bridges first instinct is to run with the ball rather than pass it. However, he still looked the man most capable of breaking the line yesterday in what was a very flat performance.

And it also begs the question; why bother replacing Briers? There aren't many better.

Father Time. If Lee signs for 12 or 24 months or however long, plans need to be in place to identify a replacement starting now.

In TS we trust.

The way people ae talking though a replacement is needed now. There is at least another good season left in him and he has earned the right to be potentially involved in any success Smith can conjure up.
