Enjoy it now because time will come back and bite you in the backside.

some people have NO class at all...none. Anybody who gets any sort of pleasure out of the misfortune of others is the bottom of the barrel.....mate you are rock bottom. ugly. Still your happy..so I guess someone won't get beaten up tonight or worst....so that's something I guess.

You need to see a therapist as you seem to have a big problem with anger management.

| One is a born winner the other happened to be in a side that won a few trophies. Stains are the real winners here, its a good job they are rubbish or I'd be worried they might win something......cut out the offensive posts please. Pemps.

Your comments on here, on the Wire Site, and was word you couldn't spell really do sum you up.
Let's face it, both are tremendous players and both will be missed by their respectives sides. One point about Briers though, he hasn't actually played that many games in the past two seasons, so we have been learning to play wiothout them.
RL in this country needs every personality it can get. Both will be a big loss to the game in this country and anyone who thinks otherwise, whether Wire or Wigan, is completely deluded.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| Both players will be a big loss to the British game. I think Wire fans are naively playing down the importance of Briers to them. Certainly as far as games against us go, he has always been the key man for them.
We have shown we can handle big personnel changes whilst maintaining the club culture and style of play. Big challenge now for the Wolfs.

| Although I hated him with a passion my hatred was for a reason.....he was a bloody good player and always caused us problems whenever he played against us. Its a similar situation to us with Briers as Shaun Edwards was to them all those years ago
Will I miss him personally...No
Will I miss him playing against us....No
Will Warrington miss him.....Yes
Will the game miss him....Most definitely

| I'd say briers, we are replacing Tomkins with an experienced fullback from the NRL, wire are replacing briers with a guy who's been playing fullback for most of the year and replacing him with a risky signing who's only played a hand full of first team games.

And people accuse me of trolling and derailing threads. I'm now receiving personal insults on threads that I haven't even commented on. Grow up.

No I don't actually. I just think you're pathetic making fun of someon's serious injury.. I'm having a go at you because your comments set you up for it.
Any real RL fan would realise that the loss of anyone who makes people sit up and take notice of the game is a bad loss. Both Briers and Tomkins were able to do this.
My last word on the subject on this Board. Off now to cheer on Sam at Hull.

| Some quite childish comments on here. As much as I dislike the bloke, its never nice for a player of Briers quality to have to end his career because of injury. He's one of the best half backs iv seen in my life time over here (im 24) and its been a pleasure to watch him play in our league for the length of time that he has. He's one of them players you "love to hate" he is a personality just like Sam. The sport, like many others, needs personalities.
As for who will be missed the most, id go for Briers. Sam has been replaced by a world class fullback in Bowen, where as Briers will be very difficult to replace, Ratchford certainly doesn't fall into the world class catorgary and I can see Moran getting the cheque book out before the season begins.
