Let's hope Ratchford is fit to start the season after the hatchet job on him in the GF.

Green was ok to continue thanks

Cheers Lee, thanks for the memories. Always enjoyed watching you play. Bag full of skills an vision. ALL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE.

Absolutely gutted, was looking forward to really enjoying his last year next season. He was the shining light in some pretty average teams over the years.

At least he got some reward in his latter years with Challenge Cups wins and GF appearances.

Thanks for some terrific memories and I look forward to cheering you onto the field next season even if it is only with the water bottle.

All the best you are a legend

One player is never bigger than the team but Lee Briers comes very close to being just that.

Whilst he's a big loss to the club and the game lets not forget, we played without him for long periods last season and played well. Loved the south stand singing "we're ""rubbish"" without Briers"

Bee a great player. Sad to see him retire and even worse as it's not on his terms. I always wished we'd see Lee back in the red vee of saints.

Lee Briers IMO is the last of a dying breed of halfbacks. He's was old school, very clever and cheeky.

I'm sure Lee will be great asset as a coach but will be a massive massive loss for you on the field.

Knew the day would come when he would have to retire but nevertheless still gutted.

I only started going to matches in 2003 and Lee has always been Warrington to me.

As others have said he was a character and love him or not he was a great player and fantastic servant to Wire.

Thanks for the memories, Lee.

Lee is already on the coaching staff as Assistant Coach with the Under 19s and has been since the end of March.

He is already proving to be a great asset to the club and I am certain that he will carve out yet another excellent career to compliment the great playing career that he has enjoyed

I recently chastised people on here for the over-use of the "legend" tag, but in Lee's case it was fully justified, and his points in a career total will, in all probability, never be bettered so he can take his place alongside the true P&B legends.

Not only a terrible loss for Wires, but for the game in general. Half backs like him simply aren't breaking through anymore, or if they are they are being turned into hulking halves-cum-hookers who can kick and pass a bit and have all impetuous and innovative skill drummed out of them.

I hope his presence on the coaching staff helps - if he can coach players to do what he did half as well, then we'll have some pretty tasty future half-backs in the P&B.

One of the last genuine halves. Rhythm and tempo play a big role in games, and very few can control that. Lee was one who could. Always looked like he had time and room. Fantastic player, servant and ambassador for Warrington and Wales alike. I'm sure he will continue to provide entertainment for the game as a coach.

His Twitter is full of best wishes from current and former players which speaks volumes in how respected he is within RL...

Enjoy your retirement Lee been a pleasure to watch you in the Primrose and Blue..Pleased to see you will still be involved with the club...

Glad but GUTTED Lee retired...he's been a. constant thorn in the side of my team over the years...A GREAT ambassador for his club and RL.....all the very Lee......

A true great of our club, such a shame he couldn't finish on his own terms.
