Briers has really stepped his game up under Smith and has indeed at times been exceptional over the last few years and is quite probably the best half in the British game at the moment. I'd dearly love to see him in a Saints shirt again as he's several leagues better than anything we have at the moment. But the fact remains that Eastmond has far greater physical talents than Briers could ever dream of having and if he ever fulfils his potential (no matter which shirt he's wearing at the time) Eastmond would be capable of greater heights than Briers - that's not to denigrate Briers, or to say that Eastmond ever will actually fulfil his potential, but is just a fact given their comparative levels of inate talent. So ner.
I suppose it's a 'my dad's perfect' sense with a lot of Briers fans. He has been at the club throughout the bad and now the good and has been genuine class for the last couple of years. Saying that, and regardless of whether Eastmond is better, will be better and by how much, I'd love Eastmond to play for Warrington if he became available.
