| Couldn't agree more Bobby, many posters on here like to put spins on post's and that's when people start to get annoyed by being goaded and antagonised into biting back, warning's are then given out like cough drops to the people who bite back (not calling the mods here), There are a few people on here who like to use personal insults and im very happy to say that im not one of them, also pointing out spelling mistakes is a bit pathetic to but ey oh rant over.
Back to the topic in hand, Flying Biscuit can you explain why Briers will be finished at Warrington soon I hear you say for age reasons and nothing else, Why is Sean Long still at Saints when he's coming up to 33

You have to understand, there are those who watch the game and there are those who appreciate the game.

Back to the topic in hand, Flying Biscuit can you explain why Briers will be finished at Warrington soon
well thats something to do with being given a 5 year contract in 2003 when he was 26 in the prime of his career and the country's best scrum half.... he extended that by a season last year so his contract is up at the end of this season...I'd be suprised if he got a new contract even though they dont have a ready made replacement for him
Sean long has played alongside some of the greatest players in the superleague era Cunningham, Sculthorpe, Lyon, even the average joes like Joynt, Gleeson Newlove, tommy Martyn.....were great players to play alongside and Long could be afforded the luxury of not playing well with out the world coming down him saying he is crap....
Lee Briers has largely played alongside some real tat and Money grabbing mercenaries...........
listen before you go on one and Rob wire will back me up. Ive said (pre Tony Smith arriving) we wont win anything while Lee Briers is here...I dont know why it was just a gut feeling....
call it a lack of profesionalism or lack of winning mentality but there was something there that I had my doubts about.....so i dont think he's the answer to our prayers but he doesnt deserve to recieve the flak he's getting....
it just sticks in my stomach that a the highest paid player and most poorly performing player does a W@nker sign to fans and he's a hero and Lee Briers and Kevin Penny are constantly ridiculed......is it any wonder the other fans ridicule us so much....
Like mark_m has mentioned earlier King receiving so many MOM votes is ridiculous Harison was head and shoulders above him in every aspect of Rugby League.....
anyway Sean Long great player loads of Harry sunderlands, lance todds and other medals and relatively injury free and no competition for his place thats why he's still playing...

just give some credit to Briers in the try that was the Highlight of your season is that too much to ask..... a pin point kick in windy conditions....
I honestly thought he was a constant threat to Hull kr and gave us plenty of options ... we scored two tries from his kicks and he made a try saving tackle if thats average then fair do's

Right fine, I have no problem at all (especially after seeing it on the SL highlights) that yes it was a decent kick by Briers, however this isn't the point of my original thread.
Watching the match I thought Briers was ok, not great, not bad.. average the word I used in my post. It certainly wasn't a post to start some sort of witch-hunt wanting Briers to leave. Like I also said he has been a good servant to Wires over many years.
My other comment eluded to the fact that I believe that we have had the best years from Briers so IF he was to go to Barrow fair enough.

Yes but who decides who are the 'watchers' and who are 'appreciators'? I assume you consider yourself the latter as will most fans.

Bang on, sticks in my throat too. Briers spoke out about the boo boys and expressed his gratitude towards the fans who stick by the team and his (admittedly clumsily put) words were twisted against him and he was turned into a hate figure. Matt King reacts to fans with an offensive hand gesture and x rated words but because he apologised is suddenly a hero. Bizarre.

| Anyhow, apparently Barrow coach Dave Clark has dismissed the rumours about Briers going up there.

| I reckon Briers has been one of the best 3 players at the club during every season he has been here - that's impressive by anyone's standards.
He didn't get many chances at international level, so it's hard to judge how good he could have been, but I do remember him having an absolute blinder for Wales against Australia in the World Cup, when a team made up of mainly NL players gave the World Champs a real scare.
