All three tries came down his side today, and every time he touches the ball you can see the defence panic. The conditions weren't ideal for his footwork, but on a dry pitch I would have him in the team every week.

Whatever you say Lee Briers can be brilliant, good, indifferent and bad but he has single handedly carried this club for 10 years. If he misfires, Warrington misfire. It's as simple as that. And that is a desperate position to be in.

Lee "Warrington Wolves" Briers

Briers is all that is good AND bad about Warrington.

And he still gets booed, it's pathetic

We CAN play without him. What bout Bradford away 2005?

Not to mention alot more games that season

True, we are a much better outfit with him, but we cant always rely on him. Especially when we have Bridge/Monas

Get used to it, cos it ain't pretty, were still suffering from Faz leaving

That is a very good comparison.

Is it heck. Briers is nothing like Farrell.

How can Briers and Farrell be compared??...

Farrell is probably one of the last great RL players, Briers has been the catalyst for a fairly mediocre period in the history of Warrington RL...

Personally, I can't wait for the departure of Briers, not because I dislike him so much, just that it will end the era of silly threads like this.

There are better half backs out there who could replace Briers...unfortunately for Wigan, there have been no great leaders out there who could ever replace Farrell.

Why isn't it? When things were going wrong, Wigan looked to Farrell to pull them out of the , Warrington did and still do look to Briers to try and turn things round.

So why the heck isn't it?

oi pick another avatar, copy cat

Farrell usually did pull them out of it, when the chips were down and Wigan were struggling Farrell could up his game and turn a loss into a win, when did Briers ever do that, never. Briers sometimes plays well when Warrington are doing well, and he will be instrumental in those wins, but when we're under the cosh you never see him take a game by the scruff of the neck and turn our fortunes around....Briers just lies down limply like the rest.

Farrell was twice Man of Steel, the ultimate professional, calm figure in a crisis, a born leader who took his team to Grand Finals and Challenge Cup Finals and sometimes won them. Briers was a talented but inconsistent player who had a spoilt attitude on the field spitting his dummy out at referees, and set a bad example off the field to his team-mates.

The good news for us is we won't nearly miss Briers as much as Wigan missed Farrell, because it is far easier to replace Briers than Farrell. If Briers' contract isn't renewed at the end of this season then I'll bet anybody that Tony Smith has a better player and person than Briers coming in for 2010.

Briers is quite consitent playing and not picking up injuries though

He's missed his fair share of injuries, without him, we've tended to struggle.
