What makes everyone think he's going to be a great coach? He may well be, and good luck to him, but great players aren't always, and I don't want him coaching at Warrington unless he is.

If he goes and earns his stripes elsewhere then returns in future after proving his worth then great, but the last thing we need is another "jobs for the boys" culture starting up with players/ex-players being appointed to coaching roles based on sentiment.

I fdon't think Smith is big on sentiment.

He can't be welcomed to somewhere that he already is.....

Neither do I. I was referring to comments earlier in this thread from people wanting him to get a coaching job here.

I'm pretty sure Smith will expect him to go elsewhere and earn one first, and rightly so.

He is still a St Helens lad and he will support us when he retires, not the Wire. He was fist pumping and roaring T-Mak on when he made the break down Wigan's right.

@wolvesrl: @wolvesrl are delighted to announce @briers6 has agreed a 1-year contract extension for 2014

New Wolves’ deal for Briers

Warrington Wolves are delighted to announce that half-back Lee Briers has agreed a one-year contract extension with the club for 2014.

Glad to keep him, it'd be very sad to see him play for another club, so it's good to have one of the old guard sticking around for another year.

Get in!

Thank feck for that, still loads of rugby left in Lee yet.

Surely Mr Briers wasn't hinting at leaving as leverage to gain another year at the HJ ?

So was I. In fact, I could hear most of Warrington roaring him on, and I live about 170 miles away.

It was a bit late in the day to start doing that though. He signed the next day.

We were all jumping up and down at that very moment. Are you going to support your home town team when you retire?

Am but disappointed really. I was wishing we were going to sign a new half back. Rather looking to the rumor mill going into overdrive. And reading about which potential signings were spotted where.
