Briers has been around the block, he knows how to (and how not to) speak to the ref. He also reacted to the abuse from Wigan fans in the correct way, with a little chuckle and a smile. Don't get me wrong, I really don't like him, but that's because he's a very good player.

fair play to him......it at least showed kids how to address and respect the official in Rugby League.
Makes a change from kids trying to copy footy players who would have been arguing with the ref, with a few expletives thrown in , and going unpunished.

| Quote: zntyres "Has Briers got his equity card yet? his performance today matched any that could come from the RSC.
Given only the length of the field to rehe his carefully considered response in front of the waiting cameras, his public and his nemesis Silverwood (how would a name like that slot so easily into one of Will's plays) he fails us not: " yes SIR, sorry SIR, kiss your bum SIR", the only criticism I can make of this Oscar winning performance is that he did not drop onto one knee to accept total humility ;
Pass the sick bucket, Silverwood should have sent him off for insulting behaviour. ![]()
So you prefer to see players mouthing off at refs and showing no respect.... If so I suggest you watch football.
I can understand why fans dislike Briers. If I wasn't a Wire fan I'd dislike him with a passion.
The guys been around a long time, shown plently of petulant behaviour over the years, but can still run a game.

I agree. Seriously though all players should call the ref "sir". Whether or not Briers was speaking with his tongue planted in his cheek it's far better than a lot of the whinging and arguing that seems to becoming more common. I'd like an emphasis on penalising dissent from Cummings soon.

The situation was defused perfectly by Briers. Old head and all that....

I would agree with the majority on this - acted like a naughty schoolboy. Got told off and accepted it. On with the game.
That's how it should be.

Thought Briers played a different role in this game, normally against Wigan he is to the fore of things but in this one he sat back and interjected for the odd (successful) kick. Only once did we get him one when Joel ran all over him and one and if our paths do meet in the grand final our success or failure will depend on us isloating him from the off, something we have had some difficulty doing in the past.

He should have been disciplined for the length of time he took to get to the referee. Weak refereeing.

As an obvious expert, could you please point to the relevant law that states how quickly a player should get to the referee? |

Look, I can not stand the guy as he happens to play for an opposing team. However, he illustrated how one should speak to the referee when you are clearly in the wrong. Moreover, I found his little 'respect' act rather amusing.

Agreed and don't have an issue with what he said when he finally got there!
I just thought he made the ref look a bit silly by getting across so slowly (which to be honest the rebel in me enjoyed even if it annoyed me as a Wigan fan!). |
