He didn't play most of the year on the wing in 2005.

He played:

4 at Scrum Half
7 at Stand Off
3 at sub
6 on the wing

So he actually played most of his games in the halves.

Typical of our crowd to fumble with their bits over imports but then continually bag British (and especially local) players.

Most of the Briers kicks went straight to Wellens, apart from 1 little kick through i cant see any kicking game.
I also believe Monaghan would be a better player without Briers on the field and that's why i wont Briers dropped.

Not at all but JWP seems to think he had 15 games and i agree, why would the article be wrong?

They didn't, honestly they didn't. In the first half, we pinned Saints down pretty well. In the second half, when it all went to pot, we had no kicking game on the back of no go forward.

I've watched the game a few times since, partially down to some of the chat on here, and in the first half I thought we kicked & in particular chased pretty well actually.

I'm going to agree to disagree for know but please watch the Briers kicking game in the next 3 games and we will have this debate again.

Because I have the stats which prove otherwise, and you could too if you bothered to look.

Kear isn't a journalist, and will have just remmbered that Bridge played the last 4 games of the year on the wing.

Gaskell, Fa'afili and Appo were our wingers for the bulk of the games that year.

I willpoint out though, that these stats are just for SL regular rounds.

My point was that he played circa 15 games of SL that year. I pointed out that he missed the start after signing through injury. I know he played some of that time on the wing, some in the halves. When we had Joey, he played at Hull away on the wing, setting up a try for Toa. He played a game at Wigan in the halves, scored a try kicking on a Briers kick through and diving on it.

I'd go with Dave T, he knows his stuff, and it seems about right to me.

EDIT : According to Dave T stats, he played 20 games, bit more than I thought. If you give him the sub apps as wing (?), then he played half on the wing, half in the halves pretty much, that seems about right from memory.

Wood & Briers were the halves. (Joey & Appo the odd appearance.)

According to the article he played 22 games.

rlHappy to helprl

Spoilsport! Let him look himself!

did he balls, he got played on the on the wing at the end of 05 as appo had been fooked off in to make room for johns, cna't remember what had had happened to gaskell whether he'd been dropped or injured at that point.
