Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

Lee Briers has made the best out of limited talent, pure and simple.

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

I think even the biggest Briers basher (you aside), say someone like Wires71 who's been a critic over time, I think he'd even admit that Briers has more natural talent than 99% of the halfbacks that have played in SL & for GB in the last decade.
Briers talent has never been in question, his attitude & dedication have.
I've said this to you before, your sort of borderline hatred for Briers, well, it really clouds your judgement. You come across so bitter towards him, I just can't work out if this is intentional or not. |

I have always maintained Briers is mercurial. He clearly is very talented but I have questions over his application and professionalism to make it to the very top of the sport. He clearly found a comfort zone at Warrington. |

But he has made it to the top of the sport. He has played international rugby and there is no higher level. |

This is a wind up, surely? He's played for Wales a few times, but he's hardly set Test Match Rugby alight, has he? That is the point we are making, that with attitude and application, he'd have done so much more within the game.
I also think Danny Orr never fully realised the early potential he showed at Cas. |

It's not about being critical, this is the inverse of those who have had huge talent but done very little with it.

I seem to recall the australians saying he was the best british half back they had come across in the past ten years. I'll take their opinion over anybody on this forum. (no names mentioned) |
