on his day briers can mix it with the best,but only on his day which to be honest are not enough.as for him being a legend..no sorry cant agree with that....now if briers plays the rest of the season like sundays game i and many others will give him the applause he deserves.....

No he isn't because we have underachieved in all the time he has been at the club (not his fault admittedly). Although if we can by some miracle win something before he leaves the club that status will certainly change to 'legend'. Challenge Cup this year perhaps?

That was a brilliant night. I remember after that it took years for a wire/wigan match to be shown on sky again as Eddie & Stevo spent most of the match apologising to viewers as we belter seven shades out of the pies! Sibbet scoring in the corner after about 45 seconds and us going wild thinking we were going to win the league..

That season we were battling most games iirc and beat all the top 4/5 teams at wilderspool in an Alfie inspired whirlwind of attacking Rugby, great times! Even Alan Hunte looked good.

Also the team spirit that year was immense.

I thought Briers was decidedly average when he came on against HKR, especially his kicking from hand.
I don't think there would be many who would mourn his leaving to be honest.

A good servant to the Wire cause over the years, no more - no less.

Good post that man

from a Lee Briers kick from Hand

so Which was it again a poor kick or a seasons highlight I get confused with all this anti Lee Briers crap.......

I said he was [size=150AVERAGE[/size- meaning SOME of his game was ok some not.
It was a seasons highlight by [size=150KING[/size in the way he brought down a very high ball and touched down in one motion HE was the one who did the thing I admired not Briers.

As far as 'anti-briers crap' as you so adroitly put it, I have never claimed once to be 'anti-briers' re-read the post I said -

"A good servant to the Wire cause over the years, no more - no less".

and I stand by that.

You need to seriously

out.

Tell you what; I was stood right in that corner and King so very nearly knocked the ball on as he dropped it on the way down and then only just got his hands back on it before it hit the ground. Not quite the seamless action you suggest!

He's like this most of the time, you get used to it mate.

From where I was sat in the North Stand it looked great. Hence my opinion on it.

Even better then, the fact he regained control of the ball during it's movement.

Excellent Matthew

Fair enough. You couldn't see the juggling act from there!
