However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

| From the official siteWigan Warriors can confirm that Assistant Coach Lee Briers will sadly leave the Club at the end of the 2022 season to take up an opportunity in the NRL with the Brisbane Broncos.
Briers joined Wigan in October 2021 as part of the Club’s new Coaching Team and has had a significant impact since.
Warriors Executive Director, Kris Radlinski, said

| Quote: Azul "Couldn’t agree more.
I’m bored senseless of the talent drain from British RL to Aus & RU.
I don’t blame Briers - or the likes of Charnley, Mossop, TL, Sam, Gildart, Sutton, Bateman, Williams before him. I’d run off to the money 101 times out of 100 if I was offered the type of opportunity (money).
I’m just absolutely turned off by it and it’s one of the reasons I stopped paying to watch RL a few years ago, now.
I still pop on here from time to time. I’ll watch all the big games and celebrate with a smile from home. You don’t just forget your love for the club, I suppose.
All credit to you guys who put your love for the club first and keep paying, I’ll never question your loyalty and probably right to an opinion before the likes of me who don’t go anymore but I’m so turned off by RL these days it’s sad.'"
You make it sound like everyone on here goes to games purely because of loyalty and obligation. Iv loved it this year - its been brilliant. Players/coaches leave and players/coaches come in - it'd just part of the game. Wigan always manage to bring in good replacements.

| Will be sad to see him go but the obvious replacement would seem to be Tommy which I assume would also mean his retirement that in turn would free up a quota spot.
I heard a podcast sometime ago with Sam Tomkins and he couldn't praise Tommy enough for his knowledge of the game and his coaching potential.
Hopefully we can give Briers the send off that his commitment to the club this season deserves.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |
