Quote Live Wired="Live Wired"Cooey, still hear. Who said anything about rumour? I can guarantee that Briers will be at Widnes by the end of the season.
As for contracts, they are not worth the paper they are written on. Makes much more business sense to sell a contracted player than a non-contracted player.
Btw, is briers playing tomorrow?'"
Let me get this right. A player out of contract, willingly signs a contract so his club can sell him for a transfer fee.
Surely the commercially sound soultion for Briers would have to allowed his contract to run down. Thus leaving, giving him free agent status and the additional bargaining power he would have afforded himself that is eaten into by a transfer fee.
